      I had these saved on my Instagram from the time that two 737 Max crashed about four years ago. Never thought these memes would ever be relevant again but after the door incident I had to pull them out and spam Lemmy with them.

      In my case it’s more disbelief and anger, I was pretty upset after studying the 737 Max crashes. They could have been completely avoided, but they chose to skirt regulation. Boeing test launch for the space capsule was a disaster, and now this. It’s incredible, i would have assumed something would have been done after hundreds of people died. But it appears like issues persist and more people are going to die. All in the interest of profits, and our legislators are not only complicit but actively participating in this criminality.

        Well, as far as we know, somebody could be hiring gorillas to punch airplane doors out of place.

          Hilariously enough, that wouldn’t work. They’d have to snap some bolts first.

            Yeah, I know. The force a gorilla can make is minuscule compared to what those doors withstand normally.

            It’s only a joke.

              Granted, if we fail to put bolts in the 'rilla wins.

        AFAIK airbus never publicly mentioned about any issues with boeing planes (787 had a lot of problems as well) when talking about their planes, I could be wrong tho

    Like every other failure, it will be rebranded as a right wing grift and sold to desperate idiots that desperately need validation from an external group.

    “No Libz Allowed Air” is the first airline with no safety regulations - you can smoke, the pilots can be drunk, there’s peanut shells on the ground, because of freedom!

      Tell that to the 349 people that died in two 737 Max crashes 6 months apart from each other after Boeing decided to skirt regulation and cut cost.

          One thing is people dying from a car accident due to driver error or bad conditions, but it’s another thing to die from a car accident after your car decides to drive you into a wall at 100mph because manufacturers wanted to make extra profit.

          But you compared it to other planes, not to cars. Please leave the goal posts were they are.
