Symmetra Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 Quote Yet another fleet of Boeing airplanes was found to have a potentially disastrous flaw — one that could set the entire aircraft ablaze. The aircraft manufacturer discovered that its 777 liners have poor electrical insulation near its fuel tank, according to a proposed rule the Federal Aviation Administration posted in March. "This condition, if not addressed, could result in an ignition source inside the fuel tank and subsequent fire or explosion," the Airworthiness Directives note states. Not the damn plane could randomly explode mid flight . And Boeing lazy ass leaving it to the airlines to fix. I hate them. https://nypost.com/2024/05/22/us-news/boeing-777-plane-fuel-tanks-could-explode-due-to-electrical-flaw/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airbus fortunately has more airplanes being used by airline companies as of 2023 (13.6k vs 10.2k Boeing planes) but some airlines and countries almost exclusively use Boeing. Hopefully this changes, or Boeing gets nationalized which would make their safety standards much more rigid as being government-owned would take the profit-driven cost-cutting measures out of the equation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Planes are statistically safer than cars. But if you don't wanna book a flight that's your choice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
