Years earlier, she had asked a boss if he would let his children fly on a plane with the litany of flaws and non-conformances he was urging her to “pencil-whip”: “Cindy, none of these planes are staying in America, they’re all going overseas,” he retorted, much to her horror.
Boeing’s gonna Boeing
Boeing…Boeing…Gone!
Boeing: the sound a plane makes when it hits the ground
or when the front falls off midflight.
I’ll tell you, that’s not supposed to happen.
Pretty sure they don’t usually do that.
Only sometimes! And the door goes pop! Too!
and thier spacecraft is haunted, making those mysterious sounds while in flight.
Too early to make assumptions.
only if you deliberately bury your head at evidence or on Boeing payroll.
Listen man, I personally go out of my way to not fly on Boeing planes, but we have no idea what happened to the Air India flight. And frankly, what we know about QC problems with 787 airframes is nowhere close to giving you an immediate double engine rollback right after rotation.
Of course, as always on Lemmy, people who know very little about a topic will accuse those with more nuanced opinions of being paid off because they’re not validating their simple world views. It’s like discussing people in a crack house.
You know why the 2008 financial crisis happened? Banks sold assets under the assumption that their credit rating was intact.
Sure, I would afford Airbus every benefit of a doubt, but sorry, Boeing is building a track record which none of us should ignore. My speculation is warranted.
Not to mention, they definitely offed a whistleblower. The guy specifically told his family and friends that he was not suicidal, and had no intent whatsoever to take his own life… and then is found dead after missing a testimony date.
Of course a suicide would have advance knowledge of their own death. It’s not unusual for suicidal people to lie about their own mental health. Especially to their closest loved ones.
What you point out could only support a vague suspicion; a motive to look for compelling evidence. Hanging a whole murder conspiracy on evidence this thin is not the product of critical thought.
username checks out. You should leave the critical thinking to people who aren’t born yesterday
critical thinking is when you decide not to question stuff because you like the narrative
critical thinking is when you can differentiate a multimillion dollar corporation defending itself vs. pilots and crew who have nothing to gain and a lot of risk coming out about how bad their ex-employer screwed up and swept it under the rug. this sort of stuff is not uncommon from corporations.
I am more likely to believe that Air India was screwing up because they have a history of this. If a lot of people complain about smoke coming out of places it shouldn’t be, then i would listen to them rather than the owner who pretends everything is fine.
