Boeing get so infamous these days
Its ok..they are protected..they pay enough commissions..and since whistleblowers have short lives, no one dares open their mouth
Both of these runway accidents are old airplanes and involve systems other than the primary airframe produced by Boeing. These are airline maintenance or parts supplier issues.
I'm a huge critic of Boeing, but blame should only be placed on them when it is deserved.
This senegal incident appears to be a rejected takeoff resulting in overheated brakes and a runway overshoot.
Boeing failures represents US decline
There are a huge number of Boeing planes flying every day and some of them are older planes. Especially until there is a report on the cause I do not see why media outlets every time there is an incident with a Boeing plane they have to go through the list.
When you use plastics and pay corrupt politicians this is what is going to happen.
Sorry, but the story about this is only a recent occurrence with Boeing simply isn't true. I have been following aircraft since I was a child and Boeing has had a lengthy list of problems since I can remember or have been watching. Not saying they were not a good company, but there were better. Problems since the 1970s have been numerous with 737s and 747s. Where did this long list disappear to? Up in smoke? Please don't slack and try blaming it on another party . . .
Geez…Boeing do have problems, but also looks like the media are out for blood. Citing a 737-300 and an old 767? These are decades old, we would have known by now if these models had problems 🙄
Boeing is the most dangerous plane on earth 🌎 now
This is what happens when you fail to acknowledge the fact that there are serious safety issues and brush it off putting lives of passengers on the line.
If it's a Boeing we ain't going!
Oh where is Senegal I'm sure you just got involved to make sure you didn't know anyone onboard. Ko ho twisi kumbo. It was an Airbus anyways or it became one it started as a Bombardier. Anyways, Boeing is busy the line is too . I'm building the first all First aircraft for selective arrival time zone depending with food and fun on on-board with no fuckery or people who don't have jobs. Just be Swiss and Swim in dase krankenwahgens.
FAA should listen to the Whistle-blowers not Boeing.
what's going continue having issues
They got to put people off flying somehow; as 2030 is when they will be tapering off flights to zero, and switching to trains instead.
This is starting to look like Boeing dumped alot of this planes in Africa 🤔
You'll need either a ouiji board or a crystal ball if you want answers from any boeing whistle-blowers. Perhaps the witch of endor can conjure one up.
