Quote:So, South Korea airport creates a concrete abutment at the end of their runway, 40 feet long and 5 feet high. So that any plane that hits it will explode in flames.

Planes are fragile. Lightweight, not tanks. The wings are the fuel tanks, and they flop around and flex with the stresses of wind/lift.
WTF? Airplanes are not Kias or Hyundais, made to be easily stolen.
This sounds like another DEI Hire error.

it looks like Jew Israelis are hitting the Boeing 707 now maybe commercial, maybe have an excuse military transport who knows...maybe bunkers and missiles are too difficult to fight, an early American long-range narrow-body airliner for people
...another loss for Boeing but its ok because 'War'
Australia maybe doesn't want to get bombed while flying out on civilian airline, it has announced the closure of its Embassy in Iranian capital of Tehran,
maybe Iranian-Americans or American-Iranians get bombed now, but in a ways maybe others call them 'Goyim' or other names

2) Engine fuel supply was cut just before Air India jet crash, preliminary report says

Includes a big picture of those fuel cutoff switches.
“In the cockpit voice recording, one of the pilots is heard asking the other why did he cutoff. The other pilot responded that he did not do so,” the report reads.
Shortly after, the switches were reversed back to where they should have been, and the engines were in the process of powering back up when the crash happened.

Air India crash report raises questions about mental health care for pilots

I have taken a look back. And going back to 1982, that's the first case I can find, it occurred with the Japan Airlines flight in Tokyo. There have been nine separate occurrences that could be attributed to the flight crew taking some sort of deliberate action, in other words, suicide and homicide.
Now, I am including the missing Malaysian Airliner MH370, and that's a controversial statement there, but most of the thinking right now is that that is what happened there. And that also includes this case in Air India. So nine separate incidents, more than 1,100 people dead throughout all of those incidents. So you couldn't say this is a common thing, but it's not something that is unprecedented either.
It's a rare occurrence, not something that I think people should worry about too terribly, but to the extent that it is very difficult to get at ways to solve it, it's something that the aviation community is grappling with.

It will be interesting to see what the final investigation shows, but this is a blow to Boeing.

The True Story Behind Freefall: A Reckoning for Boeing

For Boeing, Lion Air Flight 610 and Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 live in infamy. The first plane crashed in October 2018 in the Java Sea shortly after taking off, and the second crashed in central Ethiopia only five months later. Both were Boeing 737 Max aircrafts, a newer and more fuel efficient model that had was certified by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in 2017. Within two years of first entering into service, every 737 Max had been grounded after the same malfunction led to a combined total of 346 fatalities. Three years later, Netflix released Downfall: The Case Against Boeing, exploring how the company’s obsession with profit and maintaining a competitive edge led the former titan of aviation safety to the point of endangering anyone who flew their newest aircraft model—as well as Boeing’s efforts to deny their own complicity.
That was in 2022. This year, Freefall: A Reckoning for Boeing takes a wider look at Boeing’s continued reputation. “When we finished that film, Boeing ultimately had taken responsibility,” says Rory Kennedy, director of both documentaries. Speaking to TIME over Zoom, she says the company “assured the flying public, as well as the airlines and Congress, that it had learned its lesson and changed its ways. It did seem initially that it had made some corrections, but soon after the 737 Max got [back] into the air, I started seeing the headlines again.”
The need to return to the Boeing story
Kennedy has made documentaries about the Abu Ghraib torture scandal, the final weeks of the Vietnam War, and the impact that the death of her father—Robert F. Kennedy—had on her mother Ethel. Freefall is her first sequel, motivated, she says, by Boeing’s refusal to improve its once venerated, now dire safety standards. “I was getting approached by whistleblowers inside Boeing saying, not only had things not improved, but they were actually getting worse, and would I consider revisiting this?”
At a certain point, you didn’t need to be a whistleblower to recognize Boeing was struggling to improve its recent track record. In January 2024, a 737 Max 9 plane operated by Alaska Airlines lost a rear door plug in midair, plunging the 171 passengers into pure terror until the plane was able to land with no fatalities. An investigation found that Boeing had improperly fitted the outsourced fuselage and door plug parts in cost-cutting moves that once again resulted in danger. Kennedy was also motivated by a highly publicized but personally-felt tragedy—the death of prime whistleblower John Barnett, who by the end of his 32 years working in quality control at Boeing had made detailed reports on the company’s manufacturing negligence. In March 2024, Barnett was giving a lengthy deposition against Boeing in South Carolina when he failed to appear for his third day of testimony. He was later found dead in his truck from a gunshot wound that the Charleston County coroner described as self-inflicted. Barnett was a friend of Kennedy and lent his expertise to Downfall, and his interviews play throughout Freefall, forming what Kennedy calls a “defining thread" of the film.
“When we started, we didn't know what had happened to John Barnett, we didn't know how the Alaska Airline incident was going to unfold,” she says. “There were whistleblowers still working at Boeing coming forward and wanting their stories to be shared for the first time. Frankly it's one of the things I love about filmmaking, you'
