How in Heaven's name do you compare a 787 to a Comet?

Also, look at the nose of the Comet. On what part of of another aircraft do you think part of it was based on?

Hint: They sit in museums today. It took just one crash and a poor economy to take them out of service. Y'a never knew that, eh? It's the truth though!
