Vibration > fuel leak > fire.

The Daily Mail has just totally disgraced itself by even attempting to associate this incident with Donald Trump or the FAA.

It’s almost like there’s someone trying to sabotage America’s trust in flying. Is this a coordinated effort by leftists who’ve always told us that flying is killing mother ‘erf?

Again, do people still repeat the old phrase “You know, you’re actually in more danger driving from home to the airport than you are flying. Flying is statistically safer.”

The late humor author Lewis Grizzard was afraid of flying. He pointed out the Wright Brothers started human powered flight and “did you notice not soon after was the first fatality from a plane crash?”
US Army Lt. Thomas E. Selfridge, who died was killed while flying on a demonstration flight with Orville Wright in 1908.

Note: Selfridge Air National Guard base in Michigan near where I grew up, formerly an Air Force base and earlier simply Selfridge Field.

Years ago we took off from Dulles, the pilot announced there was an issue and we were returning to the Airport. As we landed there were fire engines on both sides of us.

Looking at the vid, I see passengers on the wing and no fire trucks. WTF?

DEI, Quiet Quitting and Malicious Compliance, all together.

I don’t want to be the one to say “If it’s Boeing, I ain’t going.”

That everyone got out safely is a testament to how well built these planes are. I’m not worried about flying.

Think of what would have happened if they had not returned?

“All of the sudden our airlines are not doing so well.”

Looks like more DEI results, without a doubt.

Those idiots at the DM tried to pin blame on Trump? This has nothing to do with Trump or any staff cuts. This is all about Boeing and probably their DEI policies.

This is a maintenance issue, not the manufacturer.

Probably a lame fuel leak check after some component was R&R'd.

There are some A&P mechanics I wouldn't let work on my lawnmower.

If passengers used the slides, then WTH were they doing standing on the wing?!

All the massive DEI hiring is catching up. Chickens are coming home to roost.
