This should never have been approved for use in humans. The product is faulty, fix it. Don’t test it on some hapless man.

FDA has lost all credibility with me. Not now, a long time ago. Fast-tracking useless or dangerous drugs, letting Muskboi use humans like guinea pigs. A shame.

Really? That's pretty low.

I was also amazed at the headline. “Will now get you arrested”. Now?!? Wasn't it always?

But why? Why be armed? What in the name of crap motivates someone to holster a weapon on themselves and bring it to an airport? Or a Starbucks? Or a church?

Ouch.

“Investigators found that an electrical cord plugged into the plane after landing generated sparks which caused the fire”.

There is nothing I hate more than the cheapskates who board the flight only with “carry-on”: a huge duffel bag, roomy enough to hold a corpse, small enough to fit in an overhead bin. In the WHOLE overhead bin.

I’ve seen a few in the wild and they look great!

You can try to cast it in any light you want. That doesn’t change the fact, that the 737 MAX is a faulty design. The sooner it gets retired, the better. Now, the 787 is innovative and has some years of service ahead of it. If only Boeing didn’t cut corners and cover up bad practices. Now they all need to be inspected,…

Literally the next sentence:

I would like to see where that conclusion is. They criticized the Ethiopian TSB for not looking at the crew’s actions (rightfully so). They still did not assign any human error. Looking at crew actions would have “widened the actionable recommendations”, or something to that effect.

I trust pilots. Pilots have concluded that the MAX is a bad design. I trust the NTSB. They grounded the faulty plane for months. Pinning it on “human error” is disrespectful. And untrue.

“Are we going to have to sell the summer house in Malibu, daddy? No, the one with the playground, not the one with the ponies. Really, daddy”?

The crews had no blame in this and only asshole fanbois (and paid shills) blame them. These pilots had been flying 737 their whole lives and suddenly the airplane is doing something that seemed impossible. A little PostIt note cannot correct that.

The software wasn’t faulty, true. It was just haphazard, was made without redundancy - or worse, the redundancy was to be sold separately. Also, it was made for a faulty design, in order to put big engines on an old airframe that could not support them, then no one was told or trained on either the engines or the…

I’d sit in it once, just cause it’s from a bygone era, and take in its kitschy, mint-green furnishings. I might even turn the engine over and drive around the block - once. 5k is too much for that. ND.

So the button controlled the wing trim? Thanks.

It would be interesting if Ars Technica would respond to this.

MRSA? Boeing has a sick sense of humor.
