“Boeing Has A BIG Problem” Richard Quest Unpacks Turbulence Death

Рет қаралды 384,253

Piers Morgan Uncensored is joined by aviation expert Richard Quest to analyse the tragic story of a Singapore-bound Boeing 777 aeroplane that encountered turbulence leaving a British pensioner dead from a heart attack and others critically injured.
Richard explains to Piers Morgan that this incident is actually a small part of a larger pattern, telling him "Boeing has a big problem" when it comes to safety. Piers pushes Richard, who claims that while there are systemic issues with Boeing, he worries more about pilot training than the technology itself.
Richard then turns the questioning around to Piers, asking him what he makes of Rishi Sunak announcing a snap general election in the UK for July 4th.

I remember when I worked as a flight attendant with Gulf Air years ago and we hit a spot of really bad turbulence during meal service, we had to put the brakes on the trolley and crouch down in the aisle. The trolley and myself did lift off the ground for a second but thankfully all was ok. Obviously all passengers had been advised with the seat belt light. It was a bit scary at the time but I always felt safe flying knowing the stringent checks the pilots and engineers did before every flight. Never complain about technical delays, they happen for a reason and that means the plane is safe to fly when it is!

This particular incident had nothing to do with Boeing's recent failures. The 777-300ER is a tried and tested workhorse that's been in operation since 2003 with minimal incidents. We'll have to wait to see what the investigation says, but if anyone's to blame it would be either pilot error or ATC error. My guess is that it was a freak incident that was unavoidable and therefore no one's to blame.

Clear Air Turbulence is always going to be a problem since it is not detectable by onboard instruments until the aircraft is in that air. Since it often arises from wind flows aloft crossing there are some clues in the weather front forecasts but localised effects may be too small to appear.

As someone who has worked in the airline industry, have many friends and also relatives whom also are employed within, and follow air craft disasters, there is generally never just "one" issue or failure that creates a catastrophic incident. There is a chain of events. From engineering/ maintenance to poor quality control to weather and even human error. It is still one of the safest forms of transport when you consider how many aircraft are flying world wide at the same time everyday. Always wear your seat belt while seated, no different to a car! The concern going forward is climate change and future air currents at various heights.

Blaming Boeing for the UK man's death is beyond ridiculous. He died of a heart attack and apparently had a known/historic heart condition.

Really? I am an airline pilot with over 30 years in the cockpit. I fly widebody jets, A330. So much of what you are saying here is false. If you experienced that kind of ear pain then you were in a unpressurized airplane and or had a head cold with blocked Eustachian tubes. which help to equalize pressure, and/or most likely not in a pressurized jet. That low to the ground the cabin pressurization, where you were seated, would have been at ground level. I have no idea what a “package jet” even is and I’ve been doing this for over 40 years total. Explain please. By the way, all airplanes do a “vertical descent” that’s how we land, by coming down. I’m not saying that what you experienced didn’t happen. I’m saying the way you describe it didn’t happen. I have literally thousands of takeoffs and landings at this point in my life. Never experienced anything like what you say. Never.

Finally a sensible dissemination of this incident. The pilot flew through a storm in the biggest car wash in the world. Monsoon season approaches and this was the first bite. THIS WAS NOT A BOEING PROBLEM…..This was a plane flying through a storm…more pilot error than anything else. I flew through this area a few hours before …it was already developing. This was a B777…pretty much the strongest plane ever built! It will be back flying within a week or so, and that’s after they tidy up the inside.

If every airline flight could be as smooth sailing as this interview, I wouldn't need a drink or a pill to ease my nerves. Great chemistry between these two - and fyi it seems Austria is working on a new wing device that might be able to detect turbulence in advance, and reduce it by as much as 80%. Maybe that's a hopeful new innovation.

A weather cell can be seen and the altitude of it is known. Once a pilot flys into a weather event, the scatter effect on the radar can't help them much. They fly over or around events, every pilot knows that. Turbulence is not shown on a radar, the weather event is just known about and it is understood turbulence is likely, the degree is not predictable. Always wear your seat belt loosely and it is impossible to hit your head on the bulkhead.

@cerambyx-8 24 күн бұрын

It was clear air turbulence (CAT) which is harder predict. Clear air turbulence is the turbulent movement of air masses without visual clues such as clouds or precipitation, and is caused by air masses meeting at extremely different speeds. It is associated with weather events or mountain waves. Nearby weather events are very difficult to use to predict this type of turbulence. The only accurate way to predict clear air turbulence is from other aircraft, either on pilot weather reports or via radio from another pilot. It is particularly bad at this time of the year in that part of the word as the flight plan took them through the intertropical convergence zone (ICZ) where the air masses Northern and Southern Hemispheres meet.

@Steve757-fl1hd 22 күн бұрын

Maybe the old X or R band radars did that. Attenuation was a thing back then. But the newer radars do not have much in the way of problems with the attenuation. Why don’t we wait for the report. Also, we are getting closer to satellite weather depiction everyday. RADARS today are digital and in color. Most airlines specify the clearances for passing on all side of a cell. Singapore has some pretty sharp pilots.

Hit by a massive one over Amsterdam's Schipol in July 2006. Our aircraft, a KLM Fokker 50, was given clearance to land after thunderstorm that had led to suspension of landings and takeoffs. We had circuled for about 15 minutes. The plane was badly tossed. We feared it would crash. One of the stewardess was thrown, and her trolley flipped. An elderly woman seated ahead of me was injured when she hit the overhead locker, I saw her bleeding from a cut. We landed safely and an ambulance arrived to evacuate the injured. I didn't see any persons with a serious injuries but a young girl behind me, seated alone, was almost going into shock. Luckily, the emergency team arrived.

Belts are worn during take-off and landing, generally when it's at altitude and gliding belts can come off & relax. Apparently the belt sign signaled very shortly before they hit the turbulence, as he states it can't be determined how bad turbulence will be all flights get some sort (normally very mild) of turbulence in light along the way.

There were problems on the Singapore Airlines 777 which hit turbulence. Onboard weather radar showed two storm cells ahead, but the radar could not detect the third cell, hiding behind the first two. That third cell was the culprit. Question: Why didn't the Captain or F.O. ask the cabin staff to see to it that passengers buckled up? Why wasn't an announcement made? Why was a meal service carried on, even though turbulence was ahead? This error in judgment led to the number of injuries sustained by passengers. There was no structural problem with the 777, which is a robust, reliable, and generally trouble free aircraft, well liked by flight crews, who say it is a dream to fly. Piers Morgan seems unable to distinguish between a 737 Max, and a 777 or a 747. You can't tar all Boeing aircraft with the same brush, but that's how Morgan gets viewers, by being alarmist when there is no cause for alarm.

@Steve757-fl1hd 22 күн бұрын

What are these “problems” with the 777 that you mention? I doubt he flew into a cell. He might have, but I have my doubts. I’m sure if they knew there was CAT ahead they notified the FAs and told them to secure the cabin, put the carts away and ask the passengers to buckle. But, you know that’s the problem with CAT - you just never know. Do you? We’ll have to wait to see the report as to what happened. If you have something in your vast years of experience why don’t you call the investigating agencies and tell them you know there was “something wrong with the 777. “ I’m sure they’d be interested to hear what you know. AS far as the media goes, I’m sure you know less than they do.
