Surprise.

Unless its a new plane that United just bought, the blame for this probably falls on United for not doing proper maintenance.

Decades of cutting corners to give their executives fat bonuses.

this topic is certainly a ride

also that's a big wheel

Imagine being Final Destination'd by that

Imagine being in the drivers seat of that car when the wheel hit.

Jet engines are pretty hot ive been like 20 feet away from one spewing out a miniature Kamehameha (blue flame). It vibrated my entire body

Prob got some hearing loss from it too despite wearing double hearing protection

Seems more like a problem with the airline maintenance this time...

But ya, I already knew Boeings should be avoided before Oliver's special.

I take no credit for this. I was just emulating duckbear for shits and giggles >_> He had this exact format but left years ago

We were happy about that.

if person was in the driver seat probably be fine. not so much in the back.

traumatized for life. then again maybe it was maintenance that has cut corners like others say.

Even if not physically injured that could cause some serious PSTD. Imagine sitting there chilling and suddenly all your windows explode as the car bounces like a low rider.

didn't duckbear get banned? I thought he didn't just leave

He got modded and I think he just left after that. I don't think he got banned?

wow that sounds pretty weak

I had him ignored for years so I never really knew

The entire aerospace industry has a looooooot of problems. Most of it is that aerospace required a metric ton of paperwork: Pretty much anything on an aircraft had to be traceable from the mill that makes the raw material all the way through to the final component, and inspection reports for dimensions and processing. The more features and processing there is on a part, the more paperwork there is. And paperwork takes a lot of time to do properly. Theres a reason a bolt put on an aircraft is multiple times more expensive than the same bolt you buy at a hardware store, and paperwork is why. The constant refrain I always fall back on is that aerospace companies sell paperwork, not parts.

Now, the paperwork is not the problem! That paperwork is so that if something goes wrong with anything investigators can go back and find what all had happened to the part that failed every step of the way and determine what sort of containment actions are needed. The problem is higher ups, in both large companies and small-time manufacturers, dont want to take the time to do the paperwork properly, or even make the parts properly sometimes.

And a ton of this is further exacerbated by Just In Time Delivery. It costs money to have parts in storage, both just from the standpoint of you spent the money on material and labor on a part thats not being sold, and theres insurance costs on your inventory and thats more expensive for finished parts over raw material. So the industry as a whole has shifted heavily to wanting parts delivered right when the assembly line needs it. But that makes any production delays, anywhere along the chain, result in delays at the aircraft itself. So theres pressure all the way down when any production delays happen at all, which leads to rushed parts, and just overall its a total mess.

So yeah, this isnt just Boeing. Theyre just the sloppiest at this point, by far.

Source: I work in aerospace manufacturing as a manufacturing engineer, my entire job is making sure we have the processes and tools in place to make our parts and determine if non-conformances discovered are acceptable or unacceptable. So right on the ass-end of the chain for the most part.

car manufacturing requires that exact same paper trail. the airlines problem is just not wanting to pay the people to handle it because they haven't been sued enough yet

Im pretty sure airlines have made the same calculation that Ford made with the Pinto: Lawsuit payouts are less expensive than actually implemeting the correct processes and procedures. And given our joke of a justice system, theyre right.

Oh? Then who else is it? Don't hear AirBus falling apart.

Do you....work for....Boeing?

Boeings really are the pitbulls of airplanes, huh

Next youre going to tell us theyre having guys whacked off too.
