Death Plane! The Secrets of the Boeing 737 MAX - Russell Scott (2020)

Pilot Paul Spencer has been flying commercial Boeing aircraft for over 25 years. In his detailed analysis he breaks down the specific reasons the outdated Boeing 737 failed and why it will continue to fail.

Refreshing to hear so much honesty. Many things have changed in the travel industry since this video was screened but apparently not the attitude to maximise profits at all costs. It's a sad reflection of the modern world.

This video makes you realize that a Ryanair Boeing combination is literally the most dangerous piece of transporter currently in service. Apparently no one sells more Airbuses than Boeing

[jackrainbow]

Don't forget that as you read this, David Calhoun and the FAA are busy trying to figure out a way to return the death max to service with virtually no changes to the core principle of the autotrim, no pilot over ride, no sensor disagree off switch, just another crash.

This whole video is an awesome listen... But..14:11 to 15:11 ... The most powerful minute of this discussion ... Inconceivable...

This is the best description of the 737 Max issues I have come across. Boeing management should watch this video and lean from it.

This reveals the inherent sociopathic /dissonant approach to decision making we have seen throughout many corporate entities. Lack of real impact awareness despite hyper certification and quality processes overruled by the profit at all costs rule. The disconnect between decision making and actual impact is the reason why monopolies can be so dangerous. We have seen deaths from big pharma, tobacco, food, automotive, engineering etc etc etc.

I just can’t stop wonder. How much did Boeing save by cutting corners, and how much will it now cost them?

[kikufutaba]

Captain Spencer is a wonderfully knowledgable and interesting speaker. Thank you for presenting this video.

[rbell]

There should be people going to prison over this.

[juliogonzo]

Ok my mind is blown that they didn't have to certify it because it is a variant of a model that has already passed certification.

[davidsheriff]

Simple - the engine is forward of the wing instead of being underneath it...

[invertedreality]

It cost Boeing less to produce the 737 Max IN THE SHORT TERM. I'd argue, that it will wind up costing far more, or even force Boeing out of business in the long term. The guest pilot is absolutely correct. Boeing should have redesigned the 787 as a short haul aircraft

[MrDavidJMa]

Always have a backup sensor - standard aircraft manufacturing practice!

[harryhall]

I hope all pilots and aircrews who will have to fly this aircraft watch this video. I hope that all airlines CEOs and managers who have ordered this aircraft watch this video. I hope that anyone who flies either for business or pleasure watch this video. I hope that all authorities like the FAA who certify aircraft watch this video. The 737MAX should not be allowed in to the skies again. It must be scrapped. Now.

[CervantesTS]

Absolutely the best 'MAX' -topic covering video I have seen...

[devikakarmakar]

This is very much the truth. With my early experience of flying a 737 classic I can say Boeing stretched it to much and have messed it up with the max costing so many innocent lives.

[jamesmcginn]

"The trimmer is more powerful than the controller." Surreal. How did they ever let this happen? This plane should be scrapped.

[sunbeam]

Well, ya know the FAA has just been way too busy regulating drones!

[stevekrahn]

This is indeed the definitive explanation video to describe the Boeing MAX disaster. Well done!

[opprometheus]

Way back when they had to redesign to engine nacelles to that "hamster" shape to gain ground clearance, something told me that was an engineering band aid to what should have been a new design. I used to be a die-hard Boeing person, but I've lost a lot of respect for the company now.
