Former_Fan Posted March 19, 2019 Report Share Posted March 19, 2019 This is very sad and inexcusable. Planes have become too complicated, and it looks like the testing falls short due to preorders and putting money first. I have several friends who are commercial pilots and I imagine what it would be like if they were the ones involved in this kind of accident. It would be an absolutely horrible way to go. I am glad they grounded all the 737 max planes through. Boeing better get it's shit together, the world is watching. titanruss 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trump had to step in and order the FAA to ground the planes. And it’s beyond pathetic to blame the malfunctions on the shutdown. Boeing has fucked up big time. It has cost hundreds of lives, and worse yet, they don’t give a fuck. Neither does the FAA, who are bought and paid for by Boeing as well. They should rot in hell.

It is definitely a Boeing problem whether it was bad or untested parts. It is an obvious flaw. Damn good thing they have grounded them before this happened again. It appears to be the same part on both 737 Max crashes. Whether the issue was known or not, this is going to cost Boeing a lot of money, and reputation as well.

Does that now mean that Boeing isn't bunch of fuckups? Oh yeah, this just came out today: Boeing delays by months test flights for U.S. human space program To put it another way, if you work for these fucktards, I wouldn't go bragging about it.

Did I say they didn't fuck up or that I worked for Boeing? I laughed at him for saying planes are too complicated. Reading comprehension ftw.

Well sure but it feels truthy to say planes are too complicated so we should just go with that. Justafan, MadMax, and reo 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
