It’s possible for even Donald Trump to go off half-cocked.
There is nothing half-cocked about Donald Trumps statement. His statement is true with or without a plane crash. It shows wisdom that comes from using deep thought instead of senseless Group think. It is not even about Boeing per say. The same thing applies to self driving cars and a host of other things as well. Computers are a great tool when it comes to advisement or controlling mundane functions. But in many cases they should not have primary control.
In the case of the first plane crash the computer was able to control and dive the plane because a sensor said it was in a stall. Now here is what would have happened in the past.
The pilot would have received a visual and audible warning that the plane was in a stall. The pilot would have checked his instruments and grumbled the words “Bull *hit”. The pilot would not have put the plane into a dive. And no one would have been killed.
