Summary
A Swiftair cargo plane operated by DHL crashed near Vilnius, Lithuania, killing a Spanish crew member and injuring three others. The plane skidded into a house but caused no ground casualties.
Authorities are investigating the cause, with no evidence of foul play yet. Lithuanian officials haven’t ruled out sabotage amid heightened concerns over Russian-linked incidents in Europe.
Weather and mechanical issues are also being examined.
The 31-year-old Boeing 737 crashed 1.5 kilometers from the runway during its approach, and black box data will be key to determining the cause.
It didn’t come off the factory floor a month ago.
If I crash my 31 year old Toyota are you to say “well, it was a Toyota”. Or are you going to think driver error, poor conditions, maintenance issue?
Yes my dear less intellectualy gifted friend, it did not, but if you sent it in for maintenance to Toyota in the past say 10 years, and Toyotas made or serviced by Toyota and contractors in the past 10 years started dropping out of the sky and whistleblowers who say the problem has been around for decades start dropping dead, one might wonder whether a systemic issue could also impact the quality of maintenance on older Toyotas.
Well now that you have resorted to ad hominem I certainly believe you are correct.
Anyway, I will wait for the accident report and then your apology.
