Plane Engines and the 737 MAX 8 Accidents

[AndyL]

Still less nightmares than the PA28 Spar AD's

Flew twice on the Max 8 on my recent business trip.

Didn't die, so A+ for that. Would fly again.

Not a max, pretty direct path to the earth here though... wonder what it was?

Glad you reiterated my not a max comment

looks like suicide by plane to me too. That would be a crazy ride down.

Looks like it had it at 9000 then it gave up. Fight in the cockpit?

[JfuckinC]

looks like someone tried to get it turned back up, hadn't seen that graph yet.

Buy some Boeing this crash wasn’t on them. This plane was released in 1997 lol.

The difference between a '.' and a ',' is important, no?

Interestingly, in different languages, the comma and period marks have very different numerical meanings.

Is "boeing" the sound it makes when it bounces off terrain?

So all this sort of nonsense in the safety video where you imagine your plane gliding to a safe landing after it loses an engine is bullshit?

I remember reading about this lady who was one of only two people to survive a plane crash in Ethiopia where the majority of people burned to death: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kechi_Okwuchi

Most non-pilot-error crashes are from loss of control of some sort, rather than loss of power I'd say. But yeah when things go wrong in a bad way, safety video isn't gonna save you.

An unplanned intersection between an airplane and the ground / water rarely ends well

Sure if it loses an engine. But you can't guard against anything structural or suicidal pilots (MH370)

False flag operation, China only took the 1st delivery of 737 Max last week since the pause.

[ExtraSlow]

False flag operaton orchestrated by the US State Department who want to start WWIII. False "news" will come out about how it's Bolivian radicals any day now . . . .

I hear zelensky was on the flight
