“The FAA refused to comment on if this system was operating during the incident.”

So everything here happened the way it was supposed to happen, as designed. (It’s fun to shit on Boeing, but I know someone here will try to spin this into a “bOeInG cAn’T eVeN dEsiGn BrAkEs cOrReCtLy” kind of thing.)

We’ve tried everything, except paying people what the job is worth, and we’re all out of ideas!

aircraft tire SME here, and came to post this. In my field we refer to the release plugs you mention as “fuse plugs”. Blowing the fuse plugs is usally a delayed effect thing, as you need time for the heat to go from the brakes to the wheel where the use plugs are. Most aircraft I work with have fuse plugs that melt in…

It seems dirty that they even mention Boeing in the headline.

Just to clarify, the aircraft didn’t likely blow its tires DURING the braking event. Aircraft tires have pressure release plugs that allow a “controlled blowout” if things get too hot. This is to prevent a more violent, catastrophic explosion of the tire which could cause damage to the aircraft both externally, and…

Chicken and egg staffing prob, rather common I think. Cant get new employees because the job is too stressful unless fully staffed. But cant get fully staffed without new employees. Almost have to bring in a bunch at once (to prove “fully staffed” to the other noobs), but then really hard to train so many in parallel.

When I was 6 I tried to help out my neighbor by opening the trunk of his station wagon by jamming sticks into the lock, like a wooden key. Weirdly, this did not open the door, nor did the correct key anymore afterwards.

Dumbest mistake I’ve ever made in my car?

“This is in great shape” plus “I have too many projects” = “This is hiding some horrible demon that I can’t cheaply fix and/or a million little gremlins that I don’t feel like fixing. Brush up on your German, because you will definitely need to make friends with an overseas BMW enthusiast group who can help you source…

Not a chance in Hell. And I’m looking.

ND I wanted this car so bad in the ‘80's but it seems like an unfinished project “small leak” not buying someone else’s headache

All credit for jumping in and getting it done. She is using a jump start pack it appears which is only one step above plugging in a phone as far as the banana level goes but you do have to know what to do and she clearly did. 

I bet the (checks wiki’s plane terms) yaw and (checks again) damper, along with its (hold on) pitch and roll is severely compromised with a sideways tail.  However, after checking with my Boeing friends, they said everything looks OK to them.

The non-existent one the Simpsons live in.

Or perhaps he was asked to give his passenger a “good look at what I’ll soon own...” much like his stunting with Harris’ plane.

Like I hate to have to defend this couch fucking never ordered a doughnut in his like shit bag, but this has nothing to do with him, other than it was his campaign plane. This is 100% on the pilot now knowing what the fuck he was doing or where he was going.

He’s gone full on batshit crazy.

Pilot was busy listening to Vance tell him how good the couches on the plane are.
