Not at 40,000 feet.
Or sabotoge
“Boeing’s DEI in there somewhere. “
15 years old
I wanna see what kind of bird is flying at 40,000 ft.
We make the best in the world. Fly on on Brazilian craft sometime. How silly. Windshields are highly technical in construction and layered. Corning used to make them, and NASA uses the same manufacturers at a much higher spec than any US aircraft maker. At 40K feet there is a lot of unreacted space debris (microparticles, meteorites,etc.) combined with 500mph airliner speed and gravity to do damage.
The cabin was not depressurized. The idiot writers did not state this clearly. Much different outcome if it had. This is Airbus/EU jackass commentary, as if it never happens to their equipment.
Remember Concorde-—? ground debris caused. a piece of metal from prior aircraft on the tarmac.
I’m willing to give Boeing a pass on this one. The window maintained integrity despite what appears to be external damage.
And the Southwest one from yesterday - most common theory was that the plane didn’t “dive” as reported, but that the pilot was descending to land on a road that he mistook for the runway.
I do think that Boeing has been mis-managed by Wokesters for years, but want to stick to clear examples of poor design and construction.
Airbus, anyone?
And I’m obviously not talking about any one specific incident. Where have you been?
but the cause of the damage has left investigators scratching their heads.
DEI vs sabotage.
Never mentioned in these boeing articles is just, the age of the aircraft and
exact total hours flown.
All over the world, FRiend. Many times. And, paying attention. Read the post again- it is clear this happens, a lot.
It is a 15 year old plane.
at what point is it not the owner’s fault for lack of competent maintenance crews?
That train of thought is about as bad as the morons who changed the original tires and kept the new ones underinflated, who then flipped their CJs and Bronco 2’s, then blamed it on AMC and Ford.
Boeing has plenty of issues for damn sure on their 737 max planes. But most of these smear articles are more about proof the airlines are not hiring the best or brightest to take care of their damn assets.
I wouldn’t be a Freeper if I read the post the first time.
My point stands.
I was USAF in 1986, working at the U.S Forces Caribbean HQ in Key West, Florida. The admiral in charge was flying in a T-39, returning from an exercise in Guatemala.
One of the guys with him said that the seals in the door started leaking, and the pilot made an emergency descent to 12,000 feet. The admiral told the AF that he was not flying in any more T-39s.
Well said!
No wonder the crew was terrified.
They probly all heard about this one, where the pilot was sucked out of the cockpit and saved only by crew holding his ankles until co pilot landed the plane

No you don’t want to see a bird that could fly that high. He’d take your leg, he would!
I believe we are witnessing the consequences of two events:
1. The adoption of DEI by corporations and government where the ‘best qualified’ person is not the first to be promoted or hired.
2. The retirement of qualified airline related workers who refused to take the mandated Covid jab and retired instead.
