Air India tragedy comes after firm agreed US justice department payment to avoid prosecution over 2018 and 2019 crashes

The Air India tragedy in Ahmedabad is the first time a Boeing 787 Dreamliner has crashed since the plane’s introduction in 2011.

While airlines using the Boeing plane have had widespread problems with engines on the 787 – resulting in many having to ground planes and reduce flights – its safety record in service has so far been good.

However, the US safety regulator, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), has had to investigate several concerns over the years, including a mid-air dive on a Latam flight last year.

I’ll never fly with a Boeing plane again. What a fucking shit company, with shit attitude and values so poor even satan would despise them. It’s the perfect example of what’s wrong with capitalism.

The soothing sound of safety

I cannot, for the life of me, understand how you can kill 350 people and then just buy your way out of it.

This money isn't even for the victims families, it's a fucking bribe to get the gov to shield them from consequences.

This is wrong on so many levels - fucking executives need to go to jail over this!

If they're not going to be responsible for their fuck ups, Boeing airworthiness needs to be revoked around the world. When they come crashing down over US politicians heads, then maybe they'll learn.

This is part of why everything is so expensive.

So our abusers can use our money against us.

Let's stop being useful idiots.

Boeing planes are death traps.

[–] mienshao@lemm.ee 23 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Excluding ferry boats, commercial planes are the safest mode of transportation. By a lot. If Boeings are “death traps,” then cars are nuclear bombs lol

[–] Link@rentadrunk.org 3 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Why excluding ferry boats?

[–] Pistcow@lemm.ee 25 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Because theyre fucking floating tanks that go a few miles and when they have mechanical issues you just send a tug out a mile to drag them back.

Sounds like Big Ferry Boat talking

[–] Pistcow@lemm.ee 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Don't have the tail number yet and Air India has had 787s in service since 2012. At that point it's a maintenance issue or outside influence. 13 years is generally out of the build quality issue unless it was something like "we expect you need to re-wing every 20 years" and turns out it's 10 oooor like the picked fork issue which was caught early.

Really, anytime you get in ANY plane you're spitting in God's eye and hoping for the best. There's hundreds of thousands of parts in a plane made across the world and your hoping someone wasnt slacking on a Friday while Airlines are like, "Do we really need to maintenance them that much" while a mechanic is using deck screws to secure a window....

Your last paragraph is true for pretty much any piece of critical infrastructure.

[–] Pistcow@lemm.ee 4 points 1 day ago

Except those pieces of critical infrastructure are not 37,000 feet in the air. But, yeah.

If it's Boeing, I'm not going.
