“Two people deeply familiar with the Charleston 787 plant told the Prospect they had particularly acute quality concerns over planes that were delivered to Air India.” 😱

One of the Dreamliners That Gave a Boeing Manager Nightmares Just Crashed

Whistleblowers always warned that passengers would pay a price for Boeing’s tyrannical corner-cutting, especially with the planes shipped overseas.

The American Prospect
@davidho I would change my flight if I knew it was a Boeing you can't beat safety and build quality of Airbus and having come from the Aerospace industry I know stuff

@davidho

> none of these planes are staying in
> America, they’re all going overseas

@davidho while those accusations are very serious and should've been investigated long ago, at this point we have to be carefull not to jump to conclusions on this specific accident. We currently do not know what happened. Until we have the blackboxes and at least some preliminary data on what actually happened we shouldn't blame Boeing for it. We don't know yet.

We can blame Boeing for all the known bad stuff.

@martinschlegel @davidho Yes, this Boeing 787 has been flying for a decade, and it did not have an obvious structure failure. The main engines are not built by Boeing but the controls are. The investigation will continue.
@davidho If only half of what is being reported is true, then this is dynamite.
@davidho Shareholder value, for the shareholders who own private jets.
@davidho and anyone is surprised? This is the same company that thanks to corruption just skirted on repeatedly, flagrantly violating a criminal settlement.
