First of all, RIP to the passengers. In-service planes don't just go back to the manufacturer for maintenance after every flight. Of course Boeing, Airbus, Embraer, etc... have liasions there during the life cycle of the aircraft, but this is a 737-8 NG, not a MAX. It's a 15 year old plane.

People need to chill with the attacks on Boeing.

Boeing has been around for decades and has created some of the greatest pieces of machinery known to mankind.

And it will continue to exist and manufacture aircraft. :ufdup:

However, folks need to understand…there is a difference between a system related issue like MCAS versus an engine or landing gear failure issue.

The former is a manufacturer issue and the latter can be due to external factors (ie. bird strike) or maintenance issues.

So this is NOT a Boeing issue. :beli:

Seen another video of the same aircraft before landing that showed it having an engine flameout on climb out.

Pilot error could also be at play here too.
I’m no Mechanic but the plane slid because the landing gear didn’t deploy.

I knew a guy who was trying to be a pilot and the first thing you have to master is how to land the plane.

They stopped the 20th hijacker because the fool wasn’t interested in learning how to land the plane so how could this be pilot error?

He's saying that pilot error could've been a factor, not that it was. But people in the thread are insinuating that shotty manufacturing (Boeing) caused a plane that's been in service for 15 years to be the reason why 179 people died.
Not even the thought of external factors like bird strikes or missed steps in the maintenance procedure that's not handled solely by Boeing.

So this same plane had hydraulics issues yesterday. Whoever okayed it to fly should be arrested
Right, bird strikes don’t cause hydraulic issues that purely incompetence on maintaince and cutting corners because every second that plane is on the ground it’s losing money
