Boeing paying racist bot farms to go around claiming Indians are too subhuman to properly maintain their totaly not faulty engines.

From Wikipedia, Air India's last flight loss was 40 years ago, in 1985 (to a terrorist attack). On the other hand, Air India was sold by the Indian government to a private company in 2022, so yeah.

Not looking forward to Boeing paying racist bot farms to go around claiming Indians are too subhuman to properly maintain their totaly not faulty engines.

You really don’t need to PAY anyone let alone bots to promote Indian hate

So Boeing DEFINITELY murdered those whistleblowers, huh?

Oh fuck.

Summary:

• Crashed 5 minutes after takeoff
• Nose was up but plane wasn't climbing
• Pilots called a mayday but ATC received no response
• Ahmedabad, India to London, UK is about half of a 787's range

You’re boeing to die

Could have been a part that was unmaintained or something. I wouldn't cry wolf before the dust has settled.

NYT headline:

Boeing’s 787 Dreamliner Raised Safety Concerns but Had Never Crashed Before

There are more than 1,100 of the jets in service today. Air India flies nearly three dozen of them.

Of course I will say that everyone knows Boeing's quality has gone down since the merge with McDonnell Douglas in 1997. But that was 28 years ago...

It does certainly seem like the rate of plane crashes and shoot-downs has been increasing a lot recently.

Another reason to build more trains (which can of course have catastrophic crashes as well, and they also travel a lot slower, and there's currently a lot fewer of them).

If it’s Boeing I ain’t going

The engine is pretty much the only thing on a Boeing that isn't engineered by Boeing.

Man I have to take a flight next week and seeing this is not helping my anxiety...
