Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
God I just can't over snowflakes who are hung up on a plane violently decompressing at 30k feet, what does your mommy come running when you have a bad dream at night too? The world is too sensitive and soft.
snowflakes these days can't handle a little ambient temperature of -40°
umm that's the temperature snowflakes handle best
No, if the worried were soft, we wouldn't be so worried about riding a fuselage straight down from 30,000 feet.
Yet another one for the "imagine the reporting if this happened in China" pile
I remember when the condo collapsed in surfside a few years back, they went out of their way to compare it to "shoddy chinese construction."
The fact that it happened in amerikkka and not china doesn't even stop them from doing yellow peril narrative
the west did this with the soviet union too
everything made by the ussr was supposedly shoddy and inferior and falling apart but they were simultaneously the great and scary red menance to the west
have these people heard of loctite?
You know how jeep wranglers have removable doors? It's not a defect, its a feature.
But really... this shit is kind of why I'm losing faith in everything... I never plan on taking a plane again if I can avoid it. Between the nightmare that is flying in general, and the nightmare of a whole being blown out the side of the plane while flying, I'm good... Honestly, I'll plan trips that I can drive to.
Capitalist innovation!
Didn't Boeing wasn't asking for skipping regulations with the FAA like a week or two ago?
Yeah, less than a week ago they were asking for multiple exceptions to this line of aircraft for different parts. The 737 Max line has been the most flawed and faulty commercial airliner ever built.
if the US government wants us to be confident that the 737 Max is safe, maybe they should buy one to replace Air Force One and fly Biden around on it
