Boeing safety probes eyed: Reports

Clear and uncorrupted third party certification is paramount. Boeing Drops as Role in Vetting Its Own Jets Comes Under Fire https://flip.it/lg7Riw

I think Boeing is going to be in a heap of trouble. What a hubris! I see lawsuits galore here.

Boeing has been the undisputed leader in the aviation market in recent years, with Airbus struggling to keep up. But the crashes of two Boeing 737 Max 8 aircraft could invert the industry's pecking order.

B737 MAX certification process under preliminary US Federal criminal investigation - absolutely exceptional in the aviation world! #aviation https://lnkd.in/erGRsBf

A federal agency shouldn’t have to get a company to do the right thing. Unfortunately, in the case of Boeing this may just put them out of business. Or greatly diminish the value of their company.

#Part3-Boeing So they flew the plane. And once in the air, the faulty sensor told the computer that the plane is stalling. The computer then, without the pilot ever knowing pushed the nose of the plane down further, while the pilot was trying to raise the plane. In this battle between the pilot and the computer, the computer won. And the pilot, the crew, and the passengers lost and they died. The plane was too low, and the pilot didn't have enough air to raise the plane and fly it. The computer literally flew the plane into the ocean. A few weeks later, Boeing issued an update on the plane, and informed that should the plane have an issue with it's AOA sensors, one of the way to stop the computer was to switch it off! Apparently 189 lives could have been saved, had the pilot knew about the software, and flipped a switch to turn it off. A switch! A single simple switch was the difference between life and death. I am still fuming thinking about this. A switch! Computers are really going to be the end of us all, because while a man makes mistakes, to really, really screw up; you need a computer!

Boeing and GE both under siege, it is well deserved pay back time for misuse US national power to lean on and destroy Alcatel (by GE) and Airbus over the last ten years. #airbus #alcatel #boeing #ge
