I want to know how many people believe that’s real.
Hoffe jemand hat aufgepasst.

16 year old video, wow
Did he say “achtung scheiße”? Those are literally the only two German words I know.
He says “Ach du Scheiße” which translate “Oh Shit”
What a shit show Boeing has become.
Shocker that quality took a dive when Boeing stopped using North American labour to build their planes in favour of developing countries.
I imagine you think quality planes are still riveted together by the hand of a team of buxom broads.
I didn’t think you could have a racist take on Boeing’s sudden drop in quality and yet liberals will always find a way.
You can inject nationalism into pretty much everything.
Lol what? The merger with the McDonnell Douglas Corporation (defense contractor) and continued focus on cheaping out on R&D costs, especially safety related tests, while maximizing investor payouts has way more to do with the quality of their planes than where they’re manufactured.
I thought i just had to avoid getting on a Boeing, now i have to watch out for the ones in the sky?
There’s a lot of crapping on Boeing here, and don’t get me wrong, they’ve earned the criticism. However, I’d be very surprised if this incident wasn’t actually traced back to maintenance issues with the airline.
If course, that was also my thought when i first heard about the plug door, and it lasted up until I learned the plane was so new it likely hadn’t even been through it’s first A check.
Well, at least it wasn’t the front that fell off. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3m5qxZm_JqM

Flying is the safest way to travel is what the airlines want you to think Hank!
Why is everyone so obsessed with this? Should not be a surprise: You all know Boeing was named after the sound of falling parts hitting the ground, right?
Ah of course, like the Boeing ball.
Let me guess, an air wave hit it?
Chance in a million
So you’re saying there’s a chance!
It’s been towed outside the environment.
Well, the tire’s not supposed to fall off.
I know that Boeing’s on everyone’s shit list these days, but the company doesn’t even make aviation tires. Unless a failure in one of Boeing’s systems caused tire damage this is probably due to poor maintenance by the airline, or a defective tire manufactured by Goodyear, Michelin, Bridgestone or Dunlop.
Boing makes the plane. If they choose to contract out portions, they are responsible for managing the subcontractors; which includes quality control.
No, they literally might not have installed this tire. It’s like blaming Toyota for a flat on your 2010 Corolla.
The core issue causing the quality control issues with Boeing is actually that they are outsourcing more and more of the design and manufacturing of their planes, and then squeezing their contractors, knowing that their contractors don’t have any other options, aerospace is both regional and consolidated. Boeing will gladly point out whenever there is a failure that it is the fault of the contractor that designed the relevant part or system, but it’s generally not that the contractor was incompetent, but rather that they were given an unreasonably tight budget and forced to deliver something.
It’s telling that they’ve got their reputation at the point where any time there’s a problem with an air plane people assume it was them.
God these airline companies need a overhaul. stop stuffing the flights and make them a few inches more roomy. stop cutting corners. offer good refund policies and shit. they are such bastards
Boeing has had issues for a while. I work in commercial aviation certification and all the senior engineers I work with are ex-boeing guys who took the early retirement plan some years ago when it was offered. According to them anyone who knew anything left and the competition from Airbus has forced them to attempt to speed up the certification process. The FAA gets final approval over new airplane designs but more of the engineering review and approval comes from a private ODA, which Boeing has their own. You have a company despite for sales who can “approve” their own designs. There is definitely corporate pressure forcing approvals to go faster.
