Plane Engines and the 737 MAX 8 Accidents

[AndyL]

But that one's a max9 not a max-8

On the bright side a kids shirt and a couple cellphones is a cheap settlement for Boeing this time around.

Whoever installed that emerg door is getting fired.

Maybe.

[CompletelyNumb]

Seatbelt saved his life there.

Yea there aren’t a lot of things different between the more common max 8 and the lengthened 9.

But apparently this particular failure occured on one of those differences ( an optional extra mid plane exit door ).

Still maintain the damn plane can’t catch a break.

I can’t even imagine how terrifying that would be. Poor kid is going to be scarred for life getting onto an airplane. Good reminder about why you should never have your seatbelt off while mid air.

Also further proof that aisle > window seat.

Deserve it for bringing a kid on an airplane.

I've always flown with my seatbelt on for the duration of the flight. Have a family friend who was a pilot and indicated there were a few times when passengers came out of their seats due to turbulence who were seriously injured.

[vengie]

I watched a woman hit the roof during turbulence several years ago on our departure into Cancun.

Since then I've always kept a seatbelt on.

There's a joke in here somewhere.

That is Aloha Airlines 243.

243 killed 1 flight attendant when she got sucked out.

United 811 was a cargo door failure that killed 9 and took seats with it.

My favourite was the BA one where the cockpit lost a window, pilot got partially sucked out and 1st officer held onto his legs while he was draped out across the top of the plane.

…


And the fucker survived.

Yup. Doesn't really matter where you sit, Allah will determine your fate.

Alaska Airlines' barred from overseas flights due to a pressurization fault (interestingengineering.com)

Some interesting issues popping up. The plane was 2 months old so still has to be a problem from Boeing but Alaska seems to have ignored issues on this specific plane.

A new update has emerged in the Alaska Airlines incident with a Boeing 737-Max 9 aircraft, which raises concerns about the overall airworthiness of the Max series produced by the prominent US aviation manufacturer.

A federal officer has now revealed that the same Boeing airplane involved in the incident on January 5 was barred from conducting flights overseas following the illumination of a warning light suggesting a potential pressurization issue on three separate occasions. These warning lights were reported on flights conducted on December 7, January 3, and 4 (a day before the incident).


Due to this, Alaska Airlines opted to limit the aircraft from extended flights over water to ensure that the plane "could return very quickly to an airport" if the warning light reappeared, according to Jennifer Homendy, National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) chair.

It's an inside job to cut tourism and thus carbon emissions reduction.
