It is kind of reassuring that those composite wings wont snap off very easily....
Good guess! I read that it was built in 2015.
The failures are about 70 - 30.
70 is bad judgment/laziness and carelessness in maintenance/crazy pilots/reckless disregard of rules/third-world primitive morons dressed as bird colonels flying a plane/affirmative action.
30 is crazy computer glitches/pilots unfamiliar with software so complex that it would take hours to figure out what happened/bad design including bad computer integration/complexity for complexity's sake to satisfy nerd engineers.
The unifying cause is PC. PC leads to affirmative action, giving crazy non normals chance after chance at flying, normals pretending third world morons are normal... and also, engineers making things as complex as possible, belief in computers being intelligent beings, nerds with no practical experience thinking that pilots have all day to figure out problems the way they do.
The worst thing about PC in a life-and-death industry like aircraft is that the smart people who pipe up about something being a cluster, get fired, or intimidated, or smeared, or silenced.
Being a chickenshit gets you promoted. Piping up makes you a "troublemaker" "toxic male" "white supremacist".
So Boeing has an "existential" decision to make: Do you Boeing execs want to be PC and crash all the time with your ridiculous planes and computers, or do you want to NOT be PC and be reliable.
Based on the past 15 years of Boeing executive behavior they look like they prefer PC and crashing.
I don't work in aviation I work in medicine, and the exact same thing is happening there. Basically admin wants to enforce PC/death rather than let the smart people to speak freely about clusters they observe.
Strong movement.
Are we talking number twp?
What’s a “technical event”? Is that when a door or wheels fall off of an airplane? Calling Pete Buttigieg, maybe you can get to “the bottom” of it.
787 is a solid plane. Must be crappy maintenance.
