Either Boeing is serious about systems safety or it isn't They let profit motive trump engineering concerns and hundreds paid with their lives. Finding nuance to defend the corporate player that killed hundreds of innocents is disgusting.
- WalterBright 4y agoThe errors in the MCAS system design did not save Boeing any money. > Finding nuance to defend the corporate player that killed hundreds of innocents is disgusting. I did not defend Boeing. Besides, do you want airliners to be safe or not? If you want to fly safely, you've got to address all factors in a crash, including pilot error.
- namaria 4y agoThey obviously hid a new system from view to avoid retraining, when the aerodynamics and automated behavior had changed substantially. It was motivated by profit and cost so many lives. It's pretty horrible and I cannot comprehend why you'd defend it in any way. Yeah plane crashes are complex and should be studied in detail. No that doesn't mean in this case corporate greed didn't play a decisive role. Cute false dichotomy tho.
