quite disturbing to learn that, contrary to what the press had .. assured us about a supposedly disgruntled aircraft mechanic who got caught trying to disable a Boeing 737, the guy had ISIS video on his cell phone.
...
Doesn't everyone with labor beefs against his boss have ISIS video murders on his cell phone?
...
Abdul-Majeed Marouf Ahmed Alani might just have been motivated by ISIS's brand of Islamism, not a woikin' man's desire for more overtime.
The gullible media reported it otherwise, always eager to look the other way on Islamist terror.
...
Alani's phone also had a news story about a plane crash in Indonesia last year, with specific information about the plane's airspeed control system. The same thing he was caught tampering with.
This rather raises the question of whether those aircraft were also disabled in this manner — one in Ethiopia, the other in Indonesia, both of which have suffered from Islamist terror or been in the vicinity of it.
The two crashes not only killed hundreds of innocent people, but also wrought havoc on the airline industry, with some airlines having to ground planes, and sent Boeing's stock into a tizzy, cutting it 15% after the crashes, and wrought havoc with its orders.
...
likely that he or his confederates might have engineered those 737 crashes of the past year as terrorist-admiring aircraft mechanics.
...
the issue of tampering by malevolent insiders is a distinct possibility. And it must be investigated, because the lawmen have caught one of them in the act.
...
It's seems to be a case for reopening these aircraft crash cases, doing intensive background checks on the mechanics who worked on these aircraft, and looking for evidence on the dark net of this kind of "inspiration" getting around.

The mere fact that someone named Abdul-Majeed Marouf Ahmed Alani is permitted to work as an airline mechanic baffles me. I thought we had learned a few things since 9/11.
The mechanics should be vetted and above reproach.
That said, the weak link on the 737 Max was the automatic overcorrection of attitude, forcing the nose down by automatically driving the stabilizer.
If this plane was one of the regular, pre-MAX variety, would that have been possible, even if the velocity indicators were off?
You can blot out the sun with choppers, put a cop on EVERY corner and without a meaningful immigration policy....
THE “WAR ON TERROR” IS AN ENORMOUS, FICTIONAL ORCHESTRATION
There is NO War On Terror.
These savages are constantly scheming as to how they can kill large amounts of Americans. Hate is in their genes clear back to the first century.
This is unexpected. Who would have guessed that attempted mass murder was not motivated by a labor dispute?
Evidently there are those among us who failed to get that memo.
The religion of peace just keeps on giving, don’t it?
If you see something, say something - unless.............
I can see Freepers scrambling to get to their keyboards to apologize for their bitter accusations against Boeing aircraft.
bump!
“The mechanics should be vetted and above reproach.”
Supposedly he had been working as a mechanic for American Airlines since 1988. Who would suspect someone of doing something like this after 30 yrs?
I have my wife to correct my attitude.
AoA -
Angle of Attack indication as developed by a ‘vane’ on each side of the forward fuselage ... only *one* was used in the Max 737 MCAS box though ...
Not the same as a Pitot tube.
So, is it possible that the 737 Max’s that crashed after takeoff in Ethiopia and other foreign airliner could have been due to sabotage and not Boeings mechanical mistakes?
We have learned:
1. Islam means peace.
2. Muslims mean us no harm.
3. Not hiring Muslims, even in the most sensitive of positions, means that you are an Islamophobe.
4. Anything remotely disparaging, through the eyes of a Muslim, means that the offender can lose his/her position, job, and/or freedom.
5. Homicides by Muslims perpetrated against those in the non-Muslim community are only "lone wolf" operations, done by a psychotic, and have nothing to do with the mandates of the Koran.
For further elucidation, see Great Britain.
I would. Islam is patient in its agenda (when it has to be.)
