But, but, the FAA said they were inspected to be “safe and effective”.

That’s what they claimed happened to Flight 800.
Despite Stephanopoulos admitting that it was blown up.

well, “a recent investigation by Daily Mail has disclosed” and they must be the unbiased experts ... since they said so ...

Even if I don’t fly on a Boeing, one may fall out of the sky onto me!

Yawn, just a “Notice of Proposed Rule Making”...read that “AD-NOPRM” issued in March here:
https://drs.faa.gov/browse/excelExternalWindow/FR-ADNPRM-2024-06130-00000000000.0001

Airliner fuel tanks have been “inerted” (nitrogen) for some time now (2008 after TWA 800): https://shepherd.caltech.edu/EDL/projects/JetA/reports/FuelTankFinalRule.pdf

If you want the real excitement/headline clickbait read the FAA “Emergency AD’s”... that is where the real crash/die/blood headlines are:

Yeah, maybe.

But they have a greater potential of exploding in mid air due to all the Stingers, ManPads etc. that 0’Biden has been spreading around for the last several years.

We haven't had a good Boeing bash in , oh, five or six days. Funny how they seem to originate with british tabloids reporting,

Let's see, which countries are part of the airbus consortium???

Wow! Let me think...when was the last time a 777, just flying along minding its own business, exploded? Oh! Really? Like never? Got it.

Thought jet fuel required atomization to ignite, and wasn’t combustible like gasoline.

The wing fuel tanks might explode...nice.. I can just see everyone sitting around airport terminals reading this while waiting to board.

Linking “in-flight turbulence”, (which is an attmospheric phenomenon), to an industry-known manufacturing error, is just plain wrong.

As a former DoDQA-aeronautical, this sort of ‘small thing’, has caused major effects in aircraft before. Electrostatic discharge, is that door knob zap after walking on certain carpets. That ‘zap’ on an aircraft, could ignite fuel fumes, which would ruin the day for the passengers.

With reduced educational standards,, reduced employment standards, and the manufacturers’ intention to maintain delivery schedules of these aircraft, I am really in awe of how much Divine Providence has kept these beauties of engineering from “extreme major malfunctions” ( not wishing to tempt fate).

“Count me out flying United, American Airlines, or any Boeing jet anytime soon“

Although there were 37 million aircraft movements in 2023 (jet and turboprop), a 17% increase on 2022, there were no hull losses or fatal accidents involving passenger jet aircraft in 2023

No amount of anti Boeing media fear porn can overcome this amazing FACT.

Electric planes won’t have the potential fuel explosive issue. Battery fires are far safer /s

Could be DEI (die), could also be sabotage.

JetBlue flies the Airbus A320 and Embraer E190.
