ZeroCoolAlaska Airlines flight forced to make emergency landing after window blows out in mid-air
reddig33Not really a window. It’s a plug put in where an optional emergency exit door would be. (Or so I’ve read elsewhere)
Oh, well that’s completely fine then.
Riccosuave
BlackmistNew functional emergency exit. Actually working better than designed.
This type of aircraft comes equipped with a rear emergency exit door, used mainly by international airlines, and has a seat configuration that allows for more passengers on the plane. Most U.S. airliners don’t use that configuration and design the area to appear as a window from the inside of the aircraft.
Optional?!
Imagine the lawsuits if/when somebody dies due to an onboard fire/smoke.
I wouldn’t take this seriously if it weren’t for the fact that Boeing’s propensity for up-charging for basic safety features didn’t cause the crashes of two 737 Max 8.
Optional, yes. They put emergency exits in different places depending on the seating arrangement ordered.
It’s optional based on on the interior buildout of the plane. It depends on the number of seats and seating arrangement. When it’s not needed for an order, they bolt in a “plug” that fills the space where the door would have been.
Ah, okay. That makes sense.
Assuming you aren’t petrified, we’ve got some incredible new views we bet you thought were previously impossible!
SkunkIf it’s Boeing, I’m not going.
Yes it was a Max 9, and yes wait for the aviation herald report for details.
We usually start New Year’s with good news and promises we won’t keep… Not with total failures. This is not good for their reputation.
Nothing they’ve been doing has been good for their reputation for about 5 or 6 years now. That’s what happens when people who don’t understand the industry start being managers rather than engineers.
TroyWell, the fact that it was still able to make the landing is remarkable. This isn’t the Comet after all…
Very different modes of failure. Metal fatigue ripping apart fault lines in structural metal is very different from an emergency exit door popping out.
Airplanes are crazy over engineered. Something like half the systems can fail and they’ll still be able to land the plane.
The safety regulations are written in blood, but they’ve continually prevented more disasters.
I’m sure the MAX 9 is going to have a lot of investigation done very soon.
Boeing is trying hard to unravel all that
According to this news site, it’s only a 2 month old plane.

Most defects appear either early or late into a products lifecycle
Capitalism views maintenance as an expense, not revenue-in.
This probably has nothing to do with maintenance. The plane was only two months old. Enough for some inspections, but nobody would suspect or look for cracks in the fuselage at that point.
So it’s probably a manufacturing issue.
Capitalism views quality control as an expense, not revenue-in.
Anything views quality control as an expense.
Are you even listening to yourself?
There is a vocal segment of Lemmy that can ONLY frame the world through the lens of class warfare and nothing else. That’s why they hijack every topic and thread with the same rhetoric. They have no plan, guidance or recommendations on what to do. They are only here to inform us about the ills of capitalism as if the collective psyche woke up yesterday and forgot all of history. They are so enlightened and privileged that they can’t help themselves in their need to share this valuable knowledge with everyone else. Capitalism bad. That’s it. Then they scuttle off to the next thread and start over. That’s the extent of “the Revolution”.
Yes god thank you.
I thought I was going crazy, every single thread that’s even remotely (very remotely) connected to politics is full of this.
I’m seriously worried for the platform, because this shit is going to turn people off hard.
Even saw someone suggesting an assassination of a supreme court justice AND PEOPLE WERE FUCKING DEFENDING IT. The mods removed the comment luckily, but I still managed to get like 30 downvotes on a “don’t suggest assassinations, be better than them” comment, just check my history.
We’re becoming fucking Truth Social or Parler or whatever of the left.
I feel like it’s too late for Lemmy. The echo chamber is already pretty strong. I hope I’m wrong.
I’m trying to break through the echo chamber whenever I come across it, but it’s a thankless endeavor, and I’m pretty close to giving up.
There’s dozens of us haha. I think more people are tired of the empty rhetoric because it’s not getting the same traction it used to. My suspicion is it’s like the same three people posting the same comment everywhere.
Hand in hand with bots, possibly. I really want lemmy to succeed though, only thing driving me forward. Ah well, people haven’t used their brains in the past, no reason to expect they will in the future…
HACKthePRISONSare these bots in the room with you, now?
Yeah, I’m afraid they are, that’s why I wrote that. What’s your point?
get help
Do you have any proof that there are none on Lemmy? Reddit was full of them, no reason to think Lemmy isn’t.
I’m also not saying there definitely are bots here, just that it’s a very real option.
Pick better battles mate.
the flagship instance is lemmy.ml
the software is made by tankies.
did you think this place was politically neutral? the whole fediverse is a fuck you to the status quo.
To be honest, I have nothing against socialists. I consider myself a soc Dem. I have many friends that are socialists. My issue is with how shallow and superficial the conversation is. Of your whole world thesis starts and ends with class warfare, there simply isn’t much to discuss. There are no prescriptions- just empty rhetoric. At the end of the say it’s horseshoe anti-establishment.
>horseshoe
you can leave. do you need directions to reddit?
Why don’t you provide counterargument. Or interesting conversation. Anything to instill that it’s not just performative art form you guys.
this is some sealion shit. horseshoe theory is some middle school history class bullshit.
Everything comes back to class with you people, doesn’t it?
Sybilbu dum tss
performance art is a better use of time than shitting on people who challenges the status quo
Better keep “challenging the status quote” warrior. Don’t cut yourself on all that edge, m’lord.
The problem is that you’re not actually contributing to the discussion. You’re just parroting talking points and actively turning people away from your stance by being annoying.
It’s not super dissimilar to what the trump cultists do.
calling me annoying doesn't change whether what im saying is true
No one is arguing that you’re wrong. You can be right and still annoying about it.
You’re not opening anyone’s minds on this. You’re just being one of the echos in the chamber and turning away people who support your cause.
It’s the same as being one of those annoying vegans. Like, no shit factory farming is bad, but the average person isn’t really in any position to make those changes.
>the average person isn’t really in any position to make those changes.
yet I'm told voting blue will make all the difference in there world.
Voting blue these days is just voting for kinda democracy over fascism.
democrats are fascists, too.
Lol, ok.
ripcordI mean, both sides are the same, of course. BOTH SIDES
this is an appeal to ridicule, not a rebuttal
I mean, I don’t advocate political assassinations, but I also recognize that the SC really doesn’t have any avenues for the people to remove a judge other than violence.
A lot of problems would be solved if the people could call votes of no confidence.
You can recognize it without suggesting anything, that’s completely fine in my book.
And yeah agreed, it’s stupid that there’s no mechanism like that
Can’t judges be impeached?
That’s not a mechanism the people control, especially with rampant gerrymandering by the GOP.
This is so uncharitable. There’s a reason for this mechanism and it’s not true. The Senate was a democratic majority just a few years ago so it’s not impossible. The issue is we are always holding on by a thin margin to either the house or Senate. I don’t think we should be advocating for assassinations on Lemmy or any platform.
A supreme court justice requires a senate super majority to remove, and it’s never been done successfully.
Again, I’m not advocating anything, but if a system of government is no longer representing the will of the people, actively working to hurt those people, and the people have no mechanism to peacefully recall a high ranking member of the government, especially a lifetime appointment, the only option left is violence.
This is just a statement of fact.
Honestly, I think the founding fathers did it intentionally.
Just as annoying are the “cars are bad” people who crawl out of the woodwork every time a car is mentioned.
Chaotic EntropyCars would kill you and everyone you love, if given the chance.
