We tested Comac parts for FAA certification. When you've tested parts for decades you can pretty much nail down the cause of the failure be it design, process, materials, a combination and so forth.
Also the c919 is only certified in China. It can't fly in the US or Europe.
There is more that goes into an airplane than the people maintaining or assembling it, which can and does go afoul. There is the entire manufacturing process, how materials are sourced, processed, refined, machined/formed, heat treated, stress relieved, coated/plated, assembled, and the list goes on. That is a major factor why aircraft are so safe and if you think China's material and process controls are as rigorous as someone like Boeing or Airbus, it isn't. It has taken decades of actual aircraft manufacturing to get the formula right for those respective companies and they continue to evolve as time goes on and new information is learned.
Oh boy I just turned into one of those "well actually" guys. I wasn't trying to prove anything wrong. It got me interested in the 1906 eclipse and when I started looking into it things didn't quite line up. This post spurred my curiosity!
Do we really need to politicize this? It was a scientific study performed in the UK.
1,700 years later and camels are still assholes.
You can go to this FAA Link and view "Records of Accidents and Incidents. Takes a bit to learn to interpret the data but there are a lot of incidents. If I recall it includes both commercial and general aviation.
Edited because I can't English properly.
Does that mean 12 is the new toddler?
What a great image. You've got a guy on the far left eating elbow, the big beard guy with chipmunk teeth and the longest arm I've ever seen. Then when you look at the rest the crowd I don't think anyone's hands makes sense and I'm trying to make the T-shirt spell something but I just get Boabaneter?
I got through 7 minutes of the video while on toilet. After that I realized this is no different than what I left at the bottom of the porcelain bowl.
I was lead to believe we would get Ant Man.
Shit...my wife just thought of a bigger diamond I could buy her.
