“Boeing Has A BIG Problem” Richard Quest Unpacks Turbulence Death

Piers Morgan Uncensored is joined by aviation expert Richard Quest to analyse the tragic story of a Singapore-bound Boeing 777 aeroplane that encountered turbulence leaving a British pensioner dead from a heart attack and others critically injured.

Richard explains to Piers Morgan that this incident is actually a small part of a larger pattern, telling him "Boeing has a big problem" when it comes to safety. Piers pushes Richard, who claims that while there are systemic issues with Boeing, he worries more about pilot training than the technology itself.

Richard then turns the questioning around to Piers, asking him what he makes of Rishi Sunak announcing a snap general election in the UK for July 4th.

As an Airline Pilot, it’s nice to hear an “Aviation Expert” talking complete sense and explaining things accurately and coherently without ramping up the drama for TV, good job.

I remember when I worked as a flight attendant with Gulf Air years ago and we hit a spot of really bad turbulence during meal service, we had to put the brakes on the trolley and crouch down in the aisle. The trolley and myself did lift off the ground for a second but thankfully all was ok. Obviously all passengers had been advised with the seat belt light. It was a bit scary at the time but I always felt safe flying knowing the stringent checks the pilots and engineers did before every flight. Never complain about technical delays, they happen for a reason and that means the plane is safe to fly when it is!

One problem with public fear of flying is inaccurate media reporting - like the ‘6000 foot drop’ nonsense. Hats off to Quest for a very accurate synopsis

[djlewis]

Fantastic to see Richard Quest on here. An absolute legend.

[johnvella]

As a retired airline pilot, it is great to hear this gentleman talking sense.

[ke_rm]

This guy was brilliant, get him on more often.

[annanikia]

Mr. Quest was once on my flight and he was such a sunny, pleasant man! ❤

[Celtic_Whisper]

As tragic as this, in fairness, Singapore Airlines has a good safety record and has consistently been ranked one of the world's safest carriers. Australia-based aviation safety agency AirlineRatings has given it safety and product scores of 7/7.

Piers and Richard…what a great broadcast this was ! Loved it ! Turns out Information and Humour make for a great show ! More please …MORE!

[stevefred]

So glad that Richard mentioned what we always do when flying - only remove our seatbelt when we use the toilet. Seatbelt is on at all other times.

[turco]

Imagine how strong are the plane wings to support this type of turbulence and not break into pieces 🙄

[MySpace]

Boeing is not responsible for air turbulence,
passengers should be informed that there is turbulance ahead, and they should buckle up.

[liquidsnow]

⭐⭐You can blame Boeing for a lot of things, but NOT this turbulence incident . Can happen to every airliner in the sky⭐⭐

[markr]

Richard Quest is always so watchable. Good to see him again.

[liamjames]

Strange when someone mentions 2 whistleblowers but forget to mention they have both since died.

[mjh]

It was a very wholesome chat for a change, which I actually enjoyed seeing Piers more in 'relax' mode, but also the informative chat which was presented very well and straight to the point.

[christiaancoetzee]

This man is a brilliant guest with such simple yet extremely effective explanations. Always enjoy his manner of speech with a voice that fits it 1000%.

[cunus]

This particular incident had nothing to do with Boeing's recent failures. The 777-300ER is a tried and tested workhorse that's been in operation since 2003 with minimal incidents. We'll have to wait to see what the investigation says, but if anyone's to blame it would be either pilot error or ATC error. My guess is that it was a freak incident that was unavoidable and therefore no one's to blame.

"It is a brutal and violent movement!"
Sound like the after affects of Taco Tuesday.

[lalaland]

I have all the time in the world for Richard Quest.
