The real reason Boeing's new plane crashed twice

This isn’t just a computer bug. It’s a scandal.

Two Boeing airplanes have fallen out of the air and crashed in the past six months. On the surface, this is a technical failure. But the real story is about a company's desire to beat their rival.

Boeing lied. People died.
Max Profit. Min Responsibility.

Who’s here in 2024 when the 737 Max is still a safety menace?

A software update might fix doors popping out mid-flight.

I knew someone who was on the Ethiopia flight. A beautiful young woman who was trying to make a positive influence in the world. RIP Samya Stumo. You are remembered 😞

Boeing's CEO walked away with 63 million dollars after this

RIP John Barnett, you will be remembered for standing up for what's right...

Terrifying. Imagine the pilot having to battle a plane trying to nosedive

A high school class mate of mine was on one of these planes. When it happened so close to you, the number of deaths meant something to you.

If it's a Boeing, I'm not going.

[jeiku]

Oh look. People died because someone else wanted more money.

More than a year later - still no accountability, no arrests - just more excuses.

"Boeing or I'm not going" has turned into "Boeing? I'm not going."

The pictures of shoes and wallets of the passengers is so depressing.

They wanted to make something to rival Airbus. They did not have time, so they decided to cut the time needed to find and eliminate any problems.
2 planes crushed, they did not have to.
The greed of Boeing officials killed innocent people.

What angers me is how the Boeing management told people that it's pilot error and if its an American pilot flew this it wouldn't crash. This really goes to show that America has such a big ego problem. America isn't the best in everything know that a lot of countries are far more better than America so don't think that you are far better than everyone else. And for Boeing be responsible if something happens and don't blame pilots first before looking at your own products because you aren't the best and this is proof.

It’s depressing seeing all those wallets, shoes and plushies just laying there

[hansmuller]

They violated one of the most basic premises of aircraft design. You do not ever trust just one sensor to feed info to a critical system.

[epoxy]

If you can't keep your plane in the air without a software preventing the plane from crashing, YOUR DESIGN IS JUNK.

I wonder what the pilot was thinking during their final moments. It’s so difficult accepting your fate but trying to remain calm for the sake of your passengers. RIP the innocent souls that were lost. 💔
