This alert is due to the United fight that had difficulty moving the rudder after touching down on landing a few months ago.

I guess he got close enough to a tug using the engines and brakes...

Is this bad? It sounds bad.

A satellite made by Boeing just fell apart in space

IS-33e was supposed to last for 15 years.

Seems Boeing just sucks at building everything these days. I'm glad the C-suites got their millions while driving the company into the ground. It's the top 1% way. (I'm so sick and tired of the ultra rich in this country.)

If all that isn't enough it seems that the new labor contract has been voted down.

This is a long video, but very interesting. Basically the scenario presented is this. You just took off in a Boeing 737 Max. A large bird is sucked into the left engine. The pilots are dead in less than one minute.

In today's video, we take a look at two reports that have uncovered a dangerous design flaw that is risking the lives of pilots, passengers and crew.

WHAT is going on? And more importantly, WHAT is being done to prevent future incidents?

The identity of whistleblowers has been withheld from this video. The FAA and Boeing were contacted for comment.

Hey, a GOOD story involving a Boeing airliner! Though it was more quick thinking by the pilot.

Having worked in aerospace with so many design checks and QCs all working to ensure nothing goes wrong starting in design and through final assembly checks, this is simply unfathomable unless there is sabotage.
