those idiots bringing their carryons while evacuating should be fucking banned from flying.

I want to know why Trump gave them contracts for next gen fighting gear when people have been dying to testify against them as whistle blowers because they cut corners. Their planes have been failing constantly for the last several years.

I recommend the channel below, very entertaining. Thing is, it takes a whole bunch of top tier specialists to make these winged coffins fly. If only one in the chain fails, it's over. Human errors occur often. So, if you lower the skills of the people involved in the aviation industry, it's recipe for disaster.

Hmm after some thought, they are a part of the military industrial complex, so I don't think they will ever see accountability.

Because Lockheed already got the F-35 and Grumman the Raider

Why is the video private?

Unfortunately the youtuber who posted it killed himself, according to eye witnesses he most probably hired the 2 buff guys in dark suits to hold him from this legs upside down and throw him off a balcony, pray for his family

Do people seriously still watch this clown? John Oliver isn't remotely accurate, factual, or even "in good faith". He's an unfunny condescending buffoon.
To be honest, very little people even know anything about aviation. The fact that half the posts in this thread are already bringing up the whistleblower bullshit (which makes no sense the second you look into it, there were like 50+ whistleblowers) and the "oh lol Airbus doesn't have this problem!" (yes they do) is pretty evident.
Its an unfortunate incident and I'm glad nobody got hurt, but like holy shit, can you buy into media sensationalism any harder? Its so blatantly obvious fearmongering.

i mean, you'd be more fucked if you die because you would rather grab you luggage than evacuate.I'm never leaving mine on a burning plane..
I'd be fucked without it

Did anyone die because of it?
Infact, can you point to an aircraft crash in the last 30 years where this was the sole cause of someone dying?
And what of medications?
I think it's somewhat appropriate, may as well hear about a plane wreck from a plane wreck of a show.

My bro that worked in Northrop now works at Lockheed. I found out today. He can't tell me much, though. The nature of the job.
My information mainly comes from reading about joint exercises, announcements and other informative resources about exotic breakthroughs and such.
I asked him about Boeing, his former employer... "leave it in the rearview. we're doing better things where I am working"
That said, I still don't think Boeing should get the contracts.

In procurement, especially in this kind of case, it's not about "doing better things"
And It never was.
This might have something to do with it. However for past incidents and disasters there still needs to be accountability.

Ok, this makes sense, now.
It's about perspective. Not my words or opinion. Apparently the pay is better, so there is that as well.
Also, while none of your business or mine, he was about to retire because of the forced closure. I think he networked a bit and landed this new gig to ride out a few more years because he really didn't want to retire, yet.

Read an article that had an ex-employee stating how the company quality nosedived for decades/years with shite management but kept winning contracts to move forward. The more incidents coming out the more I believe that ex-employee story.
Morons prioritizing their luggage over the lives of the other passengers are so dumb. That one guy fell and hurt his kid by trying to hold both his luggage and kid down the slide.

A short-term profit focused company that absolutely abandoned anything else that doesn't pay shareholders sounds like a pretty good explanation to me.

Dumbass people cant follow basic instructions to leave their luggage behind when evacuating, not knowing a sharp object could puncture the slide-raft. They were lucky this was a tiny fire outbreak because if it was anything bigger, it takes only 90 seconds for the plane to get engulfed in flames from the inside. Its infuriating to see how slow the evacuation is because of this. To those that think its "another Boeing", they had a mechanical failure in the landing gear, this has happened to literally any aircraft from landing to take-off. The video and news media are reporting this as a fire but pilots cant see a fire in their landing gear while taking off, the only reason there was a fire is because probably some of the wheels locked up and the grinding rubber against the tarmac caused friction and in the end caught on fire.
