(This is good news for people who trust Boeing more than medical workers. You can bring your own screwdriver.)

</satire> </fakeNews>

The serious narrative is shocking:

A Boeing mechanic failed to tighten the bolts on a door-size “cabin plug” that blew out on an Alaska Air 737Max flight. The aircraft had cabin pressure warnings onboard for some time, so instead of investigating/fixing, the airline simply ‘restricted’ the plane from ‘long flights over water’ so it could land quickly. No joke.

    The previous 737 max failure with the defective angle of attack sensor is astonishing. Not that engineers make mistakes, but the cover-up and everything they did to avoid the expense of training pilots about the known flaw – at the cost of lives. There is an hour long PBS documentary that shows how deep the rabbit hole goes. If you watch that, you’ll realize there is little hope for Boeing being safe. It’s a long line of systemic failure underpinned by business decisions.
