Boeing is down 15 points or so in the premarket today.

Not good news for shareholders at all.

Its pretty bad for the crash victims as well.

 

[BackAgain]

Why is this “Boeing” news?

If I’m driving a Ford car and it crashes, is that “Ford” news?

Another crock of shit thread headline from Eileen.

Yea, I sure hope the victims on that flight were not shareholders.

Fords are generally reliable. There is a big question mark over Boeing products with a scare almost every week.

 

[JGalt]

It's India, so it was probably a 20 seater plane with 220 clung to the outside.

Well this certainly will put a dent in the number of H1B visas being issued.

More people die in car crashes than airline crashes. Your fallacious “logic” would have you screeching about Ford or GM or Honda or Kia etc etc etc.

You’re a fraud and a dope.

Somehow, this is Trump's fault.

Ive walked away from car smashes. Nobody walks away when the plane goes down. Why are you acting so dumb. Show some respect you sad fuck.

Doesn’t address the fact that more people die by car accidents than by plane crashes.

You are being mindless, yet again, taint.

This may not be the reason. Different nations may have different safety standards. In our nation, litigation causes better safety standards for the most part. Not a good way to die.

I wouldn't be surprised if negligence is to blame. They are probably the worst airline in the world.

Most likely the reason, for some reason this airplane lost power on takeoff, he could not climb but his wings were level, it was not a control issue, I'm guessing the engines were not getting fuel

I doesn't look like an aerodynamic stall, it looks like it glided without thrust into the ground.

You wonder if the pre-flight checklist was done properly, sometimes pilots forget to turn things on, that plane was completely stuffed full of fuel for a flight from India to England. The fireball must have been massive.

 

[ShahdagMountains]

what about the people on the ground?

A doctors’ hostel.

Birds killing both engines right at takeoff would do the same thing. The NYC flight was at a much higher altitude when they sucked some geese.

Good point. Also a quite likely reason, at least the bird strike will show up on video at such a low altitude.
