Taiwan accidentally prints 200,000 passports with wrong image123RF Eero Saarinen designed the Main Terminal Building of Washington's Dulles International Airport. A Taiwanese official has resigned after 200,000 passports were printed that mistakenly included an image of a US airport. Focus Taiwan, part of Taiwan's state media, reported that 200,000 passport books included an image of the Washington's Dulles International Airport instead of Taiwan's Taoyuan International Airport. According to the architecture website ArchDaily, Taiwan's international airport, built in 1979, was "influenced by Eero Saarinen's Washington Dulles International Airport," which opened in 1962. According to Focus Taiwan, 285 passports with the Dulles image will be recalled, and 200,000 already made will be returned to the contract printer.
