Just waiting for the inevitable, iT iS bOeInGs FaUlT.
Just before anyone tries to say this it was a 737-300. Two generations older than the max.
I don't mind them having permanent scrutiny to get them and keep them on a better path. They needed government supervision but neither party could handle that so now they can be supervised by the media, tabloids, and the great unwashed public
Boeing also supplies parts, expertise, and maintenance schedules. Even though the plane was build a long time ago, it could still certainly be their fault.
Are they also responsible for flying the plane, performing the maintenance, or confirming the maintenance has been done? No
And is much more likely that this was the fault of the pilots. It appears to be a departing aircraft. It is likely that the pilots went for an aborted takeoff after V1 and they failed to get the aircraft stopped in time.
I'm not trying to defend Boeing but not everything is their fault.
I'm doing my part!
The replies in your comment suggest a lot of folks just wanna hate. I get despising a big corp for their cost-cutting measures risking lives, but I don't get the attacks from when their planes were built better in the past.
We don't know what happened with this plane, and knowing the media, it'll get ignored if it turns out to be a maintenance problem. But lack of evidence be damned, let's just go by our feelings and blame the big bad corporation.
Well it is way easier to react then to actually consider the realistic causes of this.
Well, they did kill John Barnett
