Is that a Max?
Was it a strong bowel movement?

Boeing can take solace that one of the five mishaps was Airbus, so there’s that.
Good description that conveys little to no actual information. Bureaucratic word salad
Yet another reminder to stay belted in your seat as much as possible.
WTH does that mean?
Does ‘technical event’ have a dual meaning kinda like “undocumented migrant” has for “illegal alien”?
“Technical event”
That sounds like a euphemism for “plane malfunction.”
Ugh.
When I was a flight attendant, the seat belt sign would be on and the passengers would be given the PA about turbulence. There were always those who refused to keep their belt on. I would ask them to and when they refused, I reminded them that turbulence was invisible and we hit it going about 600 mph. If they still refused, I would let them know if they didn’t care about themselves, neither did I but the people around them that would be hurt.
Even with no warning, no bad weather- nothing - going into Pittsburgh we hit turbulence so badly we dropped about 1000 ft and had to make an emergency landing with assorted injuries. I hit the ceiling and the beverage cart which gave me a free ride to the ER. Landing on the upright Coke can was a nice painful bonus and they thought my leg was broken. The Delta flight in front of us had flight attendants with broken bones and the ambulances were busy that night.
Just keep your belt on.

Oh, and, good luck United, with your CEO. I would have quit on the spot the first time I saw it in lipstick and hot pants.
It is kind of reassuring that those composite wings wont snap off very easily....
The failures are about 70 - 30.
70 is bad judgment/laziness and carelessness in maintenance/crazy pilots/reckless disregard of rules/third-world primitive morons dressed as bird colonels flying a plane/affirmative action.
30 is crazy computer glitches/pilots unfamiliar with software so complex that it would take hours to figure out what happened/bad design including bad computer integration/complexity for complexity's sake to satisfy nerd engineers.
The unifying cause is PC. PC leads to affirmative action, giving crazy non normals chance after chance at flying, normals pretending third world morons are normal... and also, engineers making things as complex as possible, belief in computers being intelligent beings, nerds with no practical experience thinking that pilots have all day to figure out problems the way they do.
The worst thing about PC in a life-and-death industry like aircraft is that the smart people who pipe up about something being a cluster, get fired, or intimidated, or smeared, or silenced.
Being a chickenshit gets you promoted. Piping up makes you a "troublemaker" "toxic male" "white supremacist".
So Boeing has an "existential" decision to make: Do you Boeing execs want to be PC and crash all the time with your ridiculous planes and computers, or do you want to NOT be PC and be reliable.
Based on the past 15 years of Boeing executive behavior they look like they prefer PC and crashing.
I don't work in aviation I work in medicine, and the exact same thing is happening there. Basically admin wants to enforce PC/death rather than let the smart people to speak freely about clusters they observe.
Strong movement.
Are we talking number twp?
What’s a “technical event”? Is that when a door or wheels fall off of an airplane? Calling Pete Buttigieg, maybe you can get to “the bottom” of it.
