How have they not grounded every Boeing plane at this point? The company needs to be federalized.
The plane is 34 years old. It's probably more likely it's Delta's lack of maintenance than a problem with Boeing.
While I know you're correct... And there is definitely going to be a media bias in reporting... There seems to have been a remarkably large number of issues with Boeing planes specifically lately.
Shitting on Boeing is getting clicks. So the news keeps reporting on every bit of anything they can find related to them. The incident rate isn't going up. At the same time there have been a few issues with Airbus planes but that's not getting engagement as much so the news isn't focusing on them.
Let’s see the Airbus incidents
I mean, they fucking killed a guy. So you know. Probably wouldn't murk a dude if their shit was up to standard
Two guys*
Why not both, though?
Maybe bcause shades of nuance exists tho?
Should GM be responsible for a tire on your car going flat after you've owned it for 15 years?
There are design flaws around the 767 and the emergency slides falling off. Enough that the FAA issued new air worthiness directices to Boeing regarding them. https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2016/09/08/2016-21152/airworthiness-directives-the-boeing-company-airplanes

Because nobody likes lawyers. If an emergency slide falls on a lawyer, so be it.
I dunno, my lawyer rocks
Doesn't that make him run with the devil?

What do you call a lawyer killed by an emergency slide? A good start.
I like some lawyers. Mark Bankston and Bill Ogden are good in my books. Still, never have heroes because we're all fallible humans.
Why have they not grounded every car? Despite all the safety problems at boeing, they are still way safer than automobiles.
Why have they not outlawed boats? Boats are safer than cars.
Why havent we killed all the cobras? Cobras are safer than boats.
Why havent we outlawed kitchen knives? Kitchen knives are safer than cobras.
Am I doing this right? Its a fun game which deflects blame and changes the subject quite effectively.
The Stay-Puft marshmellow man would never hurt anybody...

This HAS to be the onion right?
At this point, maybe there's enough people suing boeing that the odds of a random plane piece falling on a lawyer involved rises significantly.
you know what I'm starting to believe that god does actually exist and he's just messing with us for his own entertainment at this point
Parthenon gods work well for this shit. Zeus had a bad day and wanted a laugh.
Has anyone recently been raped by a goose?
Is he havin a laugh?
Or we live in a simulation.
Is there a meaningful difference between a god and a creator of a virtual universe?

Or both
Maybe neither
A simulation should approximate reality. What this is, it can't be that.
Good point, but that may be some form of contemporary art

"Hang on, Margaret, someone just delivered a new piece of evidence."
I cannot WAIT for the docu-drama series about all this.
Compared to Boeing, I look like I have my shit together.
I want to see him haul that slide into court to introduce as an exhibit.
Not a good look.
Bit of an understatement, that.
Oceanfront huh
Not sure what you are trying to say there.
They don't like rich lawyers. Few do.
But we do want lawyers skilled enough to be able to hurt major corporations, and then expect them to work cheap.
It's not all that hard to understand when you're downtrodden. But it is a bit counterproductive in my opinion. (That aimed at the original commenter, not at you, though I am sympathetic to both viewpoints.)
Ah that makes sense.
Tbf JFK area Oceanfront isn't nearly as nice as what you're probably picturing. It's not like coastal California, it's cold AF 8mo and rainy the rest. There's only like 2 sand beaches nearby.
