Oh hey another one. All I need now is wing falls off at cruising altitude and I’ll have a bingo

[–] podperson@lemm.ee 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Well the wing’s not supposed to fall off. Maybe it was flying outside the environment?

[–] casmael@lemm.ee 1 points 6 months ago

Well don’t you think there should be more rigorous safety standards?

[–] nothing@lemm.ee 9 points 6 months ago

Plane was built in 2001. Sounds like a lack of maintenance or a freak accident, not a Boeing build failure.

Damn, Boeing is really on fire lately!

Are Boeing fuck ups becoming more common or is it just more publicised now?

[–] PsychedSy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 6 months ago

They don't make the engines.

Hard to say, every time there's a plane disaster in the news it's a boeing, but the range of planes is pretty big. So, it can't be just recent issues.

So is now a good time to buy Boeing stock? Or should i wait for another crash? Hmmmmmm
