I would be more impressed by this feat if the planes were built without parts falling off of them

[SighPriestess]

Yeah maybe don’t do that anymore. Take your time guys. You’re doing it wrong.

[高礼福]

Those guyz at Boeing are doing a killer job.

Maybe they should've gone with 10 days

I live in the Seattle area. I've seen a few of those trains go by full of 737 fuselages. It's a pretty amazing sight!

737 Max 8. Literally 8 minutes max air time

Built in 9 days or assembled in 9 days?

[arjandhamija]

Maybe they should take longer so it flies longer

I'm a future aircraft technician (attended George T. Baker) and I've visited this factory twice. Definitely worth the trip. Seattle has awesome sea food too.

Lion air and Ethiopian Airlines... God bless the souls of those who died on the crashes. .

Why is Boeing stock at 90 USD a share?

[nishanthvreddy]

Built in 9 days so only so many crashes
They prefer quantity over quality
Give quality a think
Coz safety is the no. 1 priority

Incredible. The people who build this, program, design and engineer are amazing. Can't believe they can make it work.

[CeCeMe]

They use to be assembled in 13 days.. now it's 9. Crazy!! I lived right above Renton Field in highschool (the 90's)... Man, that was Boeing nation. Most of my friends parents worked their.

Badass assembly line. Flawless workmanship and engineering going on here. Thanks for the vid Wired UK.

[savvyinvestor]

amazing how humans can manufacture such machines...the 737 situation is so unfortunate given the age we live in those engineering mistakes should be extremely rare if that
