After the worldwide attention gathered by the Asiana crash in San Francisco this week, shares of jet manufacturer Boeing slid to a record low of 5% today.

Recently, an unoccupied Dreamliner plane burned while parked at the Heathrow airport in London.

The double whammy expectedly sinked Boeing Company's shares to record lows, amidst the upward trend of the stock market due to what investors call the 'Bernanke boost.' Boeing is one among the few companies which did not get any of the fuel from Bernanke's speech last Wednesday.

As of current writing this Friday, Boeing Company's stock market data showed a drop of -4.69% The graph of the company's performance from last week until Thursday trended upwards.

The Asiana Flight 214 which killed two Chinese teenagers was reportedly helmed by a pilot who was training to fly the Boeing 777 jet. Investigations are still underway regarding who to blame on the accident.
