  1. A formal investigation…. while many authorities are screaming: all planes are safe….. I know the result already.

  2. Boeing killed 300+ people but is now being investigated? 😂

  3. I love the fact that the FAA is moving so slow on this investigation, scared to threaten their boeing overlords 😅

  4. this has been happening for decades…something has got to be done with these places falling apart right before our eyes. im crying right now😭, cooperate greed cost lives…you can see the terror on the faces if those passengers…horrifying

  5. So what will be grounded next? After Max 8 and Max 9, maybe 737 Max 10?? The next edition?? Lol

  6. Hey Boeing — "Pull up! Pull up!"

  7. Where has the FAA been during the whole Max design and production. They are suppose to be watch dog, the gov't oversight to keep the flying public safe. This isn't just a Boeing problem, this is a FAA problem. They have been asleep at the wheel with the whole Max series design and production. They didn't know about MCAS after 2 crashes and now they didn't know Boeing was having major quality control problem? Who at the FAA is too cozy with Boeing???? Who at the FAA was responsibly for these planes coming off the assembly line?

  8. All talk and no action. If the death of more than 400+ people didn't result in any changes at boeing, a door plug failure will just a pr coverup for faa and boeing.

  9. Hilarious people do not know their history of nothing but troubles like as if this is new for them.

  10. More than 40 years of deregulation and defunding the regulators leave us with critical industries SELF REGULATING. Fox guarding the henhouse!

  11. Thank you so much for being who you are, Boeing.

  12. Sheer irresponsibility on Boeing’s part…

  13. We act like this is just a Boeing problem. It is an aviation problem. During and after Covid we had some management working from home most of the time. If bad maintenance practices are brought up to them you are considered a troublemaker. Yes they will have some fancy written memo that will sound good and maybe fire some low level employee, but at the end of the day they will not address the real issues of the industry.

  14. ………..Their Investigating DEI ………

  15. Would you fly on one of these things ever again? I will not!

  16. Well until meaningful fines are dished out it will keep happening.😢

  17. Everyone thinks the FAA is sound lol its only as good as its people and thats not what you think , everything was once inspection then data if no written up less inspection was needed approved by someone or a computer remember inspection it is overhead no value added to a product do it faster and cheeper till it falls out of the sky then its a problem.

  18. Boeing probably has a lot of politicians in their pockets, that they no longer has to be concerned about passenger safety.

  19. How many times is the FAA going to say. It cannot happen again despite it happening again repeatedly. Whats the point in saying that? If you don't exercise actual federal authority

  20. The A 737-9max is a product not fit for purpose

  21. Check this YouTube video.

    'Not a good thing': Boeing whistleblower reacts to Alaska Airlines mid-flight incident

    At 8.53 into the video, he is saying that the company has been REMOVING QUALITY CONTROL iNSPECTIONS. More than likely this is contributing to the 'sloppy' workmanship going out the door.

    I wonder if Boeing is getting rid of its own INDEPENDENT Quality Control Inspectors and just relying on a few company employed designated FAA Inspectors to save money.

    Some airlines are going down this road by removing Independent Quality Control Inspectors , (those individuals independent from production).

    So QC is being 'watered down'.

  22. No one was injured on the plane or on the ground. So we’re good right??? Boeing CEO probably. lol

  23. Two jets jump on the trampoline:

    Boeing

  24. How many murders and attempted murders are legal for the f? A? A they don't seem to have a conscience as Boeing doesn't have one either.
    If you fly on a max nine get your affairs in order

  25. What’s the point of this investigation over a door if the fine for the MCAS killing 346 people was peanuts?

    Boeing needs to lose its too big to fail status and face actual consequences.

  26. Why does every female feel compelled to glue those fake things to their eyelids? Some look like caterpillars!

  27. Remember the days before massive profits being the main concern? Things like this are only going to get worse as these greedy corporations and governments run everything into the ground (sometimes literally!)
