dam shame how greed just ruins companies

R.I.P. to them I hope their family sues Boeing and takes them for everything.

 

[Hawaiian Punch]

Force of that explosion would have turned their insides to jelly. What a fukked up way to go.

 

[Voice of Reason]

Watch them blame DEI

Damn, R.I.P. For anyone not in the know, those tires carry crazy psi. That thing blows, if the tire debris doesn't kill you, the actual disbursement of air will. Awful way to go.

For the tires to blow like that I’m assuming they were over inflated

Boeing needs to change its name to Acme

Were these things happening before and just not being reported or are all these Boeing planes getting to end of life at the same time?

Boeing doesn't care about safety and hasn't for years

If you watched the Boeing documentary you knew this was coming. They've been putting money over quality for years

Please watch it!

Somebody put roots on Boeing or something cuz

Before 2000 the CEOs were engineers and people who helped design the planes and ensured the safety/quality

Ever since then they've gotten these new guys who are all about cutting corners and costs to ensure that shareholders make their bread while the quality/safety of the product has gone down. That should be number 1 at any company, your product. Product, employees, THEN shareholders. Cutting corners and people breaking your neck to make already rich folk wealthier is the problem with so much in this country nowadays. And people who justify it are the worst.

Cot damn they can't even get TIRES right? What are the odds that if I searched, I'd find executives (former or current) siding with republicans for less regulation?

 

[F*ckthemkids]

RIP

Those tires are under extreme load. They shrink and compress at high altitude, swell up again as the plane get creeps closer to sea level, then expected to hold up and support a 200,000+ lb plane upon landing...You would think that after all this time someone would have engineered some sort of wrap around cage to remove tires from the gear.

but who am I kidding...even if someone did...Airlines would be too cheap to buy one...

200 psi
Probably went 201 and exploded

 

[Tribal Outkast]

Get Boeing out of here man

 

[Dem313wayz]

Damn that's an awful way to go
