Eugen RochkoFucking Boeing
The hydraulic system broke, we landed safely and are now being towed but it’s never a pleasant experience when a pilot has to say “don’t panic”.
I want off Mr. Boeing’s wild ride.
Jonly@Gargron watch out it might be via getting sucked out of a new emerging hole
Video Processing WikiBoeing Joke 1/3
A group of Boeing employees are sitting on a plane getting ready for takeoff.
The pilot comes on over the intercom and says "Folks, we're pleased to have you flying with us on our brand new 737, fresh from our good friends at Boeing!"
Immediately, the Boeing employees all scramble to get out of their seats and off the plane as quickly as possible. It's utter pandemonium in the aisles as everyone starts to panic.
Boeing Joke. 2/3
Everyone, that is, except for one old man, who remains sitting in his seat, quiet and unbothered.
A junior executive looks at the old man and says "Didn't you hear the announcement? If we don't get off now, this plane might fall apart mid-air!"
@Gargron
Boeing Joke. 3/3
The old man says "Sir, I've been an engineer at Boeing for over 30 years. I've been there through all of the ups and downs, the cost-cutting and outsourcing, the bad times and the good. And if I know how this company operates today, I can say with absolute certainty there's no chance this plane will even leave the ground!"
Erik Uden 🚩@Gargron oh my god
ij@Gargron maybe it‘s time for airlines to offer an option like „don‘t fly with Boing“ or „Fly with [ ] Airbus [ ] Boing“

Dominic Hopton@Gargron be careful what you wish for
rrrrrrrr geenerator@Gargron I hope you are fine!
Phil@Gargron Turns out, so did the CEO. https://www.thedailybeast.com/boeing-ceo-dave-calhoun-says-he-will-step-down-amid-safety-fears
Moritz Dietz@Gargron The chance of this happening is so low, but the frequency of things happening with Boeing planes is going through the roof. Risk assessment of picking flights by aircraft manufacturers is suddenly on the table when flying commercial.
enthraxxx@Gargron Fucking Boeing indeed...
Evan Prodromou
Axel Morgner@Gargron Glad to hear you‘re ok!
Play Ball and Fight Fascists@Gargron
Holy shit. Time for that entire fleet to be grounded worldwide.
Glad you're OK.
GoatsLive@Gargron Boeing aircraft?
Marijke Luttekes@Gargron Oh shite, glad you’re OK! The asshole CEO already stepped down, but that doesn’t fix this whole mess.

@Gargron jesus christ

@Gargron can't be pleasant
r҉ustic cy͠be̸rpu̵nk🤠🤖@Gargron Might have also been a maintenance issue. Even if Boeing had no flaws, a lot of those systems need to be kept maintained

Brian Campbell@Gargron What flight? Not seeing this incident in the Aviation Safety Network database yet: https://aviation-safety.net/

Geez 😬 Glad it landed safely tho!
@Gargron Did they really use the words „Don‘t panic“?
@Gargron @chris Of course they did. You know how much the modern persons love to panic:

Dougie@Gargron damn bro. Safe travels (...starting now)!
Sarah "Neila" Elkins@Gargron Holy shit. I'm glad y'all landed safe! :o
jan klarname ullrich@Gargron i hope you're not getting towed outside the environment
Prairie_Dog@Gargron Glad to know you and the other passengers are safe! Maybe the Mastodon plushie you had with you brought you some good luck?

Thinkaholic is 🐸 antifa@Gargron “My ‘don’t panic’ pilot’s uniform is raising a lot of questions that should be answered by my uniform.”
Urwumpe@Gargron At least you came down safely enough to be annoyed about it. Hydraulics failure is always a dire situation for the flight crew.

Ykes, lucky escape. I'm amazed they still have planes in the air at this point (as in I'm surprised they haven't been forced to ground them all, not that they all fell out of the sky. Although...)

Joshua Jung@Gargron You may want to drop a short note to Simon at avherald.com.
Jerr
Clinton Woodward@Gargron You do realized that jets are designed with multiple redundant hydraulic systems so that this isn't as big of a deal as you try to make it.
Peter@PeterLG @Gargron Failure of one hydraulic system will result in a precautionary emergency landing. Emergency <> Unsafe. It is standard practice to tow an aircraft after a hydraulic failure. I've been on two planes that made emergency landings (one engine failure, one electrical issues in the cockpit) and in neither case did I feel unsafe. Attached as an example is a system diagram for a 737 hydraulic system.
Mario@Gargron like when they say “calm down”. Glad to know you’re fine.
spv@Gargron "don't panic" is just about the worst thing to say if you don't want someone to panic. incidentally great if you want them to panic
Miles Offit... 🇨🇦🇪🇺🇺🇦@Gargron I'd rather hear that than this tbh...

Did they at least give you a towel?
