This is a total clickbait story. Don't bother.
Here's the one relevant piece of info:
"The plane involved was an Airbus A319."
This plane has no relation to the Boeing Max 9 in the headlines. The problem on this Airbus A319 wasn't a plug door issue like the Max 9. Total clickbait.
I'm not sure how being unrelated to a separate event which wasn't mentioned or referenced at all in the headline makes it clickbait.
The picture is a Boeing.
And this would never be a headline if not for the other story.
I don't think the average person can identify the difference between a Boeing or an Airbus. It's clearly a stock photo and isn't meant to represent the actual plane from the story, either way.
"Bad reporting" I'd agree with, but "clickbait" not so much.
That's like reporting on Teslas catching fire after a bender but using a photo of a Jeep Wrangler. They're 2 entirely separate aircraft and should be treated as such.
I'm pretty sure the average person can tell the difference between a Tesla and a Jeep, though.
It doesn't matter, anyway. It's not a part of the story.
Because it feeds off of fear. A319 are not Boeing and they don't have plug doors. This story wouldn't have made the news a week ago. The likelihood of this being anything other than just a sensor error is low.
