Comment on The Plane That Crashed Yesterday Was the Same One a Dead Boeing Whistleblower Warned About

  True, but that is what the whistleblower Warner about. He said the planes would fail randomly after around 10-12 Sears approximately.

  He was a quaility check engineer at the assembly lines where the workers were forced to assemble too quickly which caused a lot of small foreign bodies (residue) to enter components with wiring that would degrade due to this.

  He also said that would degrade those components much faster than expected and told to the airplane operators causing less checks and earlier failure (than was told by Boeing)

      Lemme preface by saying Bush was a monster who killed countless innocents.

      But I do have nostalgia for when that particular statement was the dumbest thing a US president said in public.

      “If you have a windmill anywhere near your house, congratulations, your house just went down 75 percent in value,” Trump said. “And they say the noise causes cancer. You tell me that one, okay? Rerrrr rerrrr!”

        I do believe that fish and people can get along.

        The noises he makes in particular may indeed cause cancer…

    Well the front fell off in this case by all means but it’s very unusual

  Defects don’t manifest themselves immediately after they roll off the assembly line. They cause premature systemic failures after a number of years of operations. These aircraft should last 20-30 years before failure.

  No I will not give you a source. I think it was a verge article.

  It can take years for design flaws to start causing crashes in some cases. The 737 came out in the 1960’s and it wasn’t until the 1990s that the rudder hardover crashes happened

  Yeah, the headlines makes it sounds like he was warning about this specific plane, not just the model as a whole.
