Readers would do well to remember this also applies to all the people who were 100% sure it was MCAS related before the wreckage even stopped smoldering.
- JshWright 8y agoI don't think anyone claimed to be 100% certain that was the cause (feel free to correct me if that's wrong). Given the obvious similarities between the two incidents (same phase of flight, same apparent pitch control problems, known issue that would result in that behavior, etc), I don't think it was unreasonable for people to point out the likely connection.
- peteradio 8y agoNo points for being correct? Why play the game then!!
- sseth 8y agoHowever since Boeing is a multi-billion dollar corporation perfectly capable of defending itself, I think it is best if HN readers focus on defending the dead pilots who unfortunately are not in the same position. I am pretty sure any mistaken criticism of Boeing will be swiftly responded to and corrected at HN or elsewhere by Boeing's PR lackeys.
