"An exit door in the middle of the plane fell off ..." -- that is false; an unsecured door plug blew out. I've heard enough.

Do some f-ing research before you make a video. You're full of inaccuracies in this.

Barnett's death was especially suspect as the questioning by the Boeing lawyers was complete : he would only have faced the questions from his own lawyer : he was applying for compensation from Boeing.

One of the worst parts of the story. Boeing insinuating that the pilot was incompetent was believable early in the investigation. Then the full story came out. I would be enraged if I was a family member of that poor man. Boeing management not only murdered him, they tortured him all the way down to the ground.

The media and company always blames the wrong person. Like this recent one, the blame should be on that idiot bimbo flight attendant for being careless and clumsy but instead the entire focus went on “DA PLANE HAD ALMOST CRASH!!!!!”

that family should be compensated for Boeings Hurtful statments !!!!

Ethiopians don't exactly have an international reputation for competence, so it was believable. Agreed though, scapegoating the innocent pilot was disgusting conduct.

The snootiest comment iv read all day, but its good that you atheist have grace. What matters is not ones race or nationality it's accreditation according to international standards. If a pilot or doctor or facility is certified by accredited body that's all that not that something is somali or Ethiopian. We can see that Boeing is a Caucasian corporate company that has clearly cut corners leading to loss of life. So race shouldn't factor here.

without their regulatory capture of the FAA, none of this would be possible revolving doors are a serious problem

shareholders are the new god. it's been the law since 1980

Don’t forget about the whistleblower they literally killed :)

Typical american company

I saw someone describe Boeing as a weapons dealer that has a side hustle making civilian airplanes. This is pretty dead accurate.

Excellent point

It was another worker with a hidden camera acting as a source for the journalist. My only problem was that the worker only mentioned unskilled labor as the problem. It's a lot more than that, but I'm willing to bet he's likely underpaid for his own experience and won't rock the boat too much himself since finding another manufacturing job with comparable benefits in Charleston is next to impossible.

It was an Al-Jazeera journalist (not working at Boeing) who had a hidden camera and asked workers if they would fly on the planes they built. None of the workers said “yes”…

...and he SUPPOSEDLY committed suicide in his car in the parking lot with all his clothes nearly packed and ready to leave, too.

They reckon his lawyers had told him it was going well and he was likely to win too.

Was it Charleston police who have the lead on this investigation?....does anyone know?....where is robust investigative reporting by the "news"? Disgusting lack of follow-up and follow-up reporting.

​@@TheWilferch at this point, no point trying to figure that part out i think. The authorities has decided it was "suicide", and the powerful people up there will make sure it stays that way, even if they have to forge evidence.

There needs to be an investigation. This is a joke if we're just supposed to believe the official story.

Most importantly, are the police really taking the case seriously? With the possible involvement - especially by remote control - of Boeing and maybe with the defense connections, even the US government, police are also probably reluctant to delve at all deeply.

Boeing committed the aerospace cardinal sin... A single point of failure.

I think that could be called a software failure.

@@hemaccabe4292No it's hardware if anything

It may not be a bug, but it's absolutely a software malfunction, which can be defined as "any time the software behaves in a way that does not align with the user's expectations". It's more broad of a category of software failures than a bug/glitch, but it's certainly a failure nonetheless.

The software worked as intended, so it's a failure in design, not in software... but man, having no way to manually override that is fucking insane.

Like Jack "Neutron" Welch school of management?!

@@piotrd.4850 They graduated from that. Boeing wasn’t a holding company like GE. GE bought and sold companies. It operated more like a VC company. When we merged, I used to look at the job reps at BCA. They used to require a commercial pilots license for Chief Engineer. Prior to Stonecipher, we hired from within.

Anything or anyone remotely associated with Jack Welch are pure garbage.

GE has a lot to hide. They were financing the NAZI party plus testing weapons systems before WW2 at the UW. They stole several patents.

It is also possible that he got it into his head that he had to kill himself and convince people it wasn't suicide in order to draw attention to the case. Maybe he saw it as a noble sacrifice. It's going to depend on the evidence. Him saying "if I die it wasn't suicide" doesn't really mean much.

If any detective made this call in a normal case they'd be deemed incompetent at best, but when it's done to a whistleblower it's suddenly totally plausible

That’s not enough to scare them. Include their families who enjoy the benefits of the ludicrous compensation as well. A nefarious executive may be willing to behave unethically/illegally for their own gain and be comfortable to risk their own skin.

There are reports on what happened. Basically, Spirit, a subcontractor of Boeing, has been delivering faulty parts to Boeing (and also Airbus) for a while now. Boeing inspectors found serious manufacturing defects in the door plug, and told Spirit to fix the issue. Spirit literally painted over the issue, which Boeing rejected, and told them to fix it again. The repairs were completed, but the missing bolts were never reinstalled, and never inspected after the door was reassembled. But before you go thinking that it's 100% spirit's fault, Boeing employees didn't report and file the issue correctly. Boeing has an internal software system for reporting issues, which has mandatory follow up inspections for specific problems. The employees chose to file the door issue as a related repair, which did not require the bolts to be reinspected, to get the job done faster, and avoid working with the awful software system. Instead, Boeing employees send a message in their company Slack channel, which was never followed up on. Boeing is just as much at fault for the door issue due to mismanagement, bad processes, and bad software. There's a reason that Airbus also receives parts from Spirit, but doesn't have the same issues Boeing does. Boing fired a huge number of quality assurance inspectors over the last decade, claiming that their software systems would replace people inspecting things with their eyes. Obviously that was a giant mistake. If you're wondering about the authenticity of this information, there are pictures from the final assembly, clearly showing the missing bolts on the door before that plane was reassembled. Thankfully, Boing at least took pictures of the inside of the plane, and they weren't able to delete information like they did in their current legal situation. Boing has been trying to hide and cover up large amounts of information, because they know they're in deep deep trouble. Just look at the NTSB representative's face at 13:18 when she's talking about how Boing has been refusing to give them the information they need for their investigations. This whole situation is so much worse than we know. John Barnett didn't kill himself.

This is what happens when the Douglas side of the company had more power than the Boeing side. We see a repeat of the DC-10 saga.

Engineers get shit done and make it happen. Give them a blank check and great time windows, and you'll receive marvellous results. Squeeze them on a budget and a breakneck deadline, they'll sacrifice small details for a generally finished product. The problem with the airline industry is that a 0, 01% chance of failure is unacceptable, this isn't the place to gamble.

Exactly.

​@bog4240 All said in this comment. 10 to the minus 6 or 10 to the minus 9 is the challenge. I am so personally hurt by what is going on at Boeing.

It's election season unfortunately. No one is going to risk hurting a 'valuable U.S. employer.'

That's pretty much impossible. Boeing is way too big to fail; it's too important for the US economy and military, the government simply cannot suspend business with them. Instead, the company should be nationalised and the board of directors replaced with investigators and engineers. Once they've got the rot rooted out, the firm can be re-privatised.

Private sector will put the commercial aircraft line out of business soon enough.

Unfortunately the rule of law doesn't exist anymore. There's so much corruption at all levels now in America.

They also classified it as a "door" not a "plug", and since there are minor inspection procedures for doors, it was not inspected they way it needed to be.

Recovering from an MCAS malfunction may or may not have been technically possible -- pilots who tried various ways of estimating or simulating it disagreed on whether it was possible, but almost all of them said it would be extremely difficult. Most of them could not directly experience it because there was only one true MAX sim in existence -- some of the pilots that Boeing allowed to try out MCAS activations on that sim also said it was potentially really tricky. The pilots on the first plane that crashed had zero chance of correctly figuring out on the fly how to handle this surprising, confusing, and deadly situation. Not only did Boeing put them in that place by concealing the differences between the old and the new models, but afterwards they were more concerned with saving face than saving lives and sent out a communication to pilots that basically said, oh hey, there's this wee tiny bit of software we forgot to mention, just read our one-hour presentation about it and use the standard procedures you're trained in, no biggie. They absolutely did not want to sound like it was a big deal, not only so as to save face about having concealed it in the first place, but so that no one would demand that they ground the planes while they implemented a fix. The Ethiopian pilots read this little communication and it was not enough. Most likely nothing short of practicing in a sim could possibly have been enough. So yep, ground the planes.

The MCAS system was the wrong solution in the first place. That airframe was never designed for these huge engines in the first place. Then they decide to go ahead with this unholy marriage by taking the pilot out of the loop in an entirely novel way, Then they decide to not even tell the pilots that there's a way to force themselves back into the loop if the situation turns into an emergency.

@@afterthesmash Yep. The tragic irony is that MCAS was even installed as a "solution" to a non-problem (a problem for the company's pocketbook, only) since with a couple of adjustments and above all a new type rating and new training for the pilots the plane would handle just fine. Using software to fake flight characteristics identical to the old model was a cockamamie idea -- and an unconscionable one.

It was not technically a glitch, because the software functioned as designed. However, it was incredibly negligent software design. There's no reason the software had to blindly trust a single sensor. There were no safeguards. It could have disabled the system on disagreement between the two angle of attack sensors, or if angle of attack readings were contrary to information from other sensors.

And they don't care.

We ALSO have to stop letting them eat their own seed corn by way of stock buybacks, that's ALSO very destructive.
