Cockpit window crack forces ANA Boeing flight in Japan to turn back

[Weatherman2020]

Good thing Boeing hires based upon skin color and gender of the day instead of talent! Windows blowing out or cracking are mere side issues. Have to break a few eggs to make an omelette!

“A domestic All Nippon Airways (ANA) flight in Japan has returned to its departure airport after a crack was reported on the cockpit window during the flight. . . . The plane, a Boeing 737, landed back at Sapporo’s New Chitose airport at around 12:10 local time (3:10 GMT).”

Those windshields are thick, like twice or triple the thickness of your car, and the crack was just in the outer layer.

The 737 has been in production since 1966.

And in the last ten years crashes have been spiking and almost all have been attributed to Boeing.

Thus the FAA has finally stepped in and basically taken over Boeing. Now they need FAA approval to take a piss.

Just because it wasn’t a catastrophic failure doesn’t mean much except fewer lawsuits. An aborted flight is as good as a crash in the eyes of the FAA. I used to be on an aviation accident team for an aerospace company and it’s fun from the detective side of me but horrific on the paperwork side.

Since I don’t look at MSM I missed this one? A door blew out? I suppose no one sucked out as I would have heard that everywhere.

 

[whitehall]

Blown out cargo doors and cracks in windshields? WTF is going on?

The CEO of Boeing makes a lousy $22 million a year.

Maybe if he was paid a decent wage, he would see to it that the planes his company makes are up to par.
