Federal officials are proposing modifications and additional inspections on nearly 2,000 Boeing planes in the United States to prevent a repeat of the engine-housing breakup that killed a passenger on a Southwest Airlines flight in 2018.
The proposal by the Federal Aviation Administration on Tuesday largely follows recommendations that Boeing made to airlines in July. It would require replacing fasteners and other parts near the engines of many older Boeing 737s.
Airlines will have until the end of July 2028 to make the changes, which Boeing developed.
The work won’t be required on Max jets, the newest version of the 737.
The number of times Boeing’s been let off the hook for murderously bad design is infuriating
All they did recently was lie to regulators and dozens of airlines, murdering ~600 people in the process.
If you or I did that we’d totally be given a pass, instead of 600 life sentences.
Sauce?
I’m not going to search for links, but you can find them pretty easily yourself.
He’s referring to the Boeing Max debacle. Boeing added a new feature but didn’t want to pay to train pilots how to use it, so they just lied about it needing additional training.
That feature caused I think several planes to nosedive.
Funny thing is, the article is about a completely different case of shitty design killing people
Thank you.
