This was invented in the 80s. I read about it in Popular Science. The purpose of the detachable cabin at that time was to allow the cabin (with its passengers) to parachute to safety in case of an eminent crash. Why planes do not have whole plane parachutes to this day is disturbing enough, but now they come along to re-patient what is essentially the same idea, but instead to save small bit of money by loading the cattle faster is pretty disgusting.
