I sincerely doubt many people will remember anything about this five years from now. There have been dozens of crashes involving various models of the 737 series, and the vast majority of the population could not name a single incident.
As soon as this is out of the news cycle, everyone will forget.
- graeme 7y agoThat means "737 Max" is the one name people remember as a threat.
- glofish 7y agothey will rename the plane, almost certainly
- cm2187 7y agoThe majority of the population probably can't even tell a B737 from an A320.
- natch 7y agoI think that has changed now, at least for 737 MAX. We people who did not care before are now hyper alert about which aircraft we are going to be on.
- calcifer 7y ago> dozens of crashes That's wrong by an order of magnitude. 737 series had a total of 478 incidents, 213 of which is resulted in hull loss [1]. [1] https://aviation-safety.net/database/types/Boeing-737-series/index https://aviation-safety.net/database/types/Boeing-737-series...

- nrb 7y agoTo be fair, the vast majority of those are not "crashes" in the sense that the parent post describes.
- Swenrekcah 7y agoBut unlike the others, the max has been grounded for almost a year. It’s not just a news cycle, there are people who have never given two thoughts about the aircraft they fly on that now remember “that max plane” or “that 7-something plane” or even just boeing as being the one that keeps crashing. I fully expect websites to pop up that will take a flight number as input and tell people if there is a MAX plane involved. They won’t shake this one off easily.
