Kudos to United for not holding back and saying what they've found. I'm sure Boeing probably tried to bribe them to prevent any public disclosure of their findings. I've never liked United as an airline, especially after that harrowing story of a passenger getting dragged out, but credit where credit is due. Airlines should team up and demand for a full refund from Boeing. Pilot and flight attendants should also refuse to fly any 737 MAX plane and so should passengers. We've been all misled on the safety of the 737 MAX series. The entire Boeing board and Dave Calhoun need to be ousted ASAP! These people need to be held accountable for their arrogance and greed based decisions once and for all!!
Sounds a little fishy
But have to save the planet from climate change
It’s a thinker
Boeing outsourced to save $$$. Now they will pay far more…and head for bankruptcy?
Here we go again. Now it the Boeing MAX 9……..Lets not forget the Boeings MAX 8….."The first crash, in October 2018, involved a 737 Max 8 operated by Indonesia's Lion Air that killed 189. The second incident was in March 2019, when an Ethiopian Airlines flight, also a 737 Max 8, crashed minutes after take off, killing 157 passengers". Excuse given – "design flaws, in particular the use of flight control software known as MCAS". So 346 people lost their lives, boeing pays in fines $2,936 million plus $1.77 billion to compensate for the loss of life and suffering endured by the families. Boeing has a net worth of $140.39 billion so is there any concern on the part of boeing for the people who travel via Boeing?
Biden was found to have loose screws.
FAA recommends all flights carry a Gorilla with a roll of Gorilla Tape.
This is what happens when MBAs run a company instead of engineers
When an $8 tube of Loctite would've saved millions of dollars.
This is has nothing to do with sabotage or YT domestic terrorism. Neither do the explosions due to “gas leaks” or the car that “accidentally” drove into the White House gates. It’s all random group of events that has nothing to do with the election or political violence. 🧐
I hate to be that guy, but the plural of "aircraft" is "aircraft."
This is very traumatizing. Until you've been one of those passengers who is facing a sudden and dangerous situation, you will never know the after effects of something like this.
I haven't flown in 10 years and this just adds to my list of why I have no desire. Even if it's safe, there are situations like this that would traumatize me with an already existing fear of flying from flying during hurricane katrina..no thanks!
This particular news segment doesn't say WHERE the loose bolts were found.
Maybe they found some loose bolts in the galley/kitchen … they didn't say.
Naturally we're meant to assume they were found at the plug-door, but they don't say it.
All I see in the description or hear in the newscast is that they were found "on the aircraft."
American planes are junk
American cars are junk
I avoid American products
$34 trillion in debt
Horrible culture
Overrated country
Boeing 'screws' up. Again.
Those nuts are castellated. The bolt is drilled and should have a cotter pin or safety wiring securing it. I'm guessing there were no bolts installed. Even if loose they should not have come out. The aircraft skin and interior fittings was all that was keeping it in. Would be interesting to hear what the inspection on the opposing door revealed.
At least the landing gear was there when they went to land 😵💫
Boeing can't make planes right
So the doors are not part of scheduled routine maintenance? 🤔
"Made in the US" has lost its credibility.
As long as the wings are okay, I'm good. 🤔
Whoa 😂😂 it is 2024
Aircrafts?
The dumbing down of the U.S. has succeeded.
In this case, it doesn't really matter, because the bolts are secured with cotter pins. Not desirable, but wouldn't have resulted in the loss of the panel if the pins are installed.
Could all of these Airline problems be caused by DEI (Diversity Equality Inclusion) hiring?
Where is the minister of transportation? Lol
A lot of Airline problems and train wrecks in the last 3 years. Who's the Secretary of Transportation these days?
Bruh imagine being too bad for united
it's 6 bolts through some holes… it's not like a complicated spacecraft that Boeing can't get to work….
safer at home
shoddy US engineering
how about pretending you listened in English class and wrote the title of this video correctly? several Boeing aircraft, not several Boeing aircrafts. the plural of aircraft is aircraft, not "aircrafts"
The Torque Settings were wrong .
No theory has been proffered so far as to the possibility, indeed the probability, of a particular constructor at Boeing who just didn't do his or her job. Or used a faulty torque wrench. I am dubious that Boeing will even release this information to the public, if so.
More planes are being discovered with loose bolts. So, is there or is there not one person in common with all of them? Because everything is internally logged by Boeing.
People who do not have a background to understand aviation design and fabrication, will generally not understand the extensive engineering design, analysis, and testing that goes into these matters — and no less so for fasteners of all types, no matter how "trivial". I understand the bolt in question was a high-tensile bolt, with a cotter pin duly affixed through a castellated nut. Under normal use, it's not going anywhere.
These bolts just do not "unscrew themselves". It doesn't work this way — well, not if everything is done per specification, including torqueing it to specification. Each and every one; each and every time.
The CEOs an shareholders don't care they never fly on their own death trap planes, they have the $70 millions dollars jet's they fly on with certify inspectors.
Gee, almost like all that deregulation during a Republican presidency has tangible consequences.
PMCS
It is aircraft not aircrafts, like sheep.
The plural of aircraft is still "aircraft",no "s"! Why? Ask the British!
Don’t fly on a 737 max plane in the future!
Welcome to post-Trump America. This is what you voted for in 2016 🖕
Time for some red loctite.
Apparently Boeing needs to read its instructions on how to conduct these inspections properly as well.
Bet you no one will fight over the window seat now!
