I thought i just had to avoid getting on a Boeing, now i have to watch out for the ones in the sky?

Let me guess, an air wave hit it?

It's been towed outside the environment.

Well, the tire’s not supposed to fall off.

Why is everyone so obsessed with this? Should not be a surprise: You all know Boeing was named after the sound of falling parts hitting the ground, right?

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.de 9 points 6 months ago

Ah of course, like the Boeing ball.

Did he say “achtung scheiße”? Those are literally the only two German words I know.

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.de 4 points 6 months ago

He says "Ach du Scheiße" which translate "Oh Shit"

Hoffe jemand hat aufgepasst.

Shocker that quality took a dive when Boeing stopped using North American labour to build their planes in favour of developing countries.

Lol what? The merger with the McDonnell Douglas Corporation (defense contractor) and continued focus on cheaping out on R&D costs, especially safety related tests, while maximizing investor payouts has way more to do with the quality of their planes than where they’re manufactured.
