    He is so deeply saddened and probably terrified. Kids, this is what a real man looks like.

    @lenasoderstrom6503 I think that you need to grow up. I expect you still believe the Harvey Oswald B/S. The American Establishment is as dirty as Stalin, Saddam Hussain and Ghadaffi. And many other dictatorships. The US has caused death and destruction across the globe 🌎 for decades. That's why America is going down the pan. People have woken up.

    I used to cast aluminum ingot for forging and extrusions....our main client? BOEING....I was a lab technician who sampled the metallurgical composition plus ultrasound testing of the alloy we casted... aerospace grade aluminum 7175/7050... had to watch quality drop year on year for "production". Safety went out the window, and I was fired unlawfully while home on surgical recovery... too vocal. Our CEO was eventual fired, was in previous scandal with Siemens, then fled to Saudi Arabia....not making this up Aerospace industry is twisted

    Ask any sub contracted fabricator. These planes are built with only production quotas in mind. The only reason we haven't had more "accidents" is that the customer ends up discovering many flaws and they are repaired before someone was injured. There are subcompanies that pay their employees as much as Starbucks pays theirs. That alone should scare you.

    Please compare these faults to what happened with the De Havilland Comet in the 50s. Due to design & manufacturing faults the airframe suffered stress fractures leading to complete failures. The compression/decompression cycles caused these stress fractures to appear around the corners of the unusually shaped square windows.

    WHY ARENT THE BUILDERS OF THE PLANE COMING FORWARD?

  • @tuanpham-vv3qj
    @tuanpham-vv3qj5 күн бұрын

    People do not understand that testing of the airplane is not a panacea to prevent failure!!! You have to understand that testing can not simulate all stresses that the airplane undergoes in its life cycle! That why you have redundancy to prevent the failure ! Redundancy is very important in system safety! This only understood by engineers not by Beancounters of Boeing! Think of the MCAS which utilises only the one sensor ‘s data! This is strongly against the principle of redundancy!

    Well what really gets me is I understand the position of senator Josh Hawley why doesn't the CEO have to appear at the same time that these whistleblowers are ousting them for not building airplanes the right way or jets the right way why don't we have the CEOs there so we can watch the expressions of their faces when somebody comes in and tells him exactly what they're doing on their line production and their should be some kind of reparation for this man so where if he's fired let go or anything else that the airline has to pay him at least 5 to 10 million dollars because they got rid of a whistleblower even though I understand that would be my waste of my tax dollars because quite frankly we keep these airlines going with our tax dollars

    Josh Hawley, being a politician should know exactly how Corporate America works at this point. It is not extraordinary, it is all too typical. For some reason the American public held the illusion that the manufacturer of airplanes was sacrosanct. Kind of like the pharmaceuitical industry, right? Agency capture is a real thing, folks.

    Not that I think Boeing is totally without fault, but, these planes have been out for more than a decade. Maintenance practices at the airlines that have bought them also play a big part. The 787 came out in 2011. The 777 in the late 90’s. If you don’t change your oil and wash your car once in a while, it will fall apart regardless of how well it was built.

    The focus on profit above all else will not only undermine Boeing, but United, other airlines, and the entire American aviation industry, as well as America's balance of trade, which may feed right into the value of the US dollar. Great job! Promoting business school assholes is a terrible idea. This form of American capitalism that has become desperate for profit will screw all of us.
