@TheMiamiBro @LiamHayneX @MenTourPilot The engines are not made by Boeing.

@LiamHayneX @MenTourPilot Boeing needs to be investigated yet again!

Sparks flew out of the No2 engine of this Atlas Air 747, as it took off from Miami.😱 Its crew brought it back safely. More info here: 👇 mentourpilot.com/incident-atlas…

@TheTravelAssist @Kris_H86 Not the engines

#BreakingNews: Last night, sparks and flames shot out of Atlas Air flight 95, a Boeing 747-8 after it departed from #Miami International Airport. The #plane circled back and landed with no injuries. #USA

Aircraft from the South African air carrier #AirLink crashed this afternoon at around 2:10 pm normal landing time at Pemba International Airport when trying to make another landing.

@Tsogang3 AGOA: 80% is export from SA to USA, 20% is import from USA to SA. The trade balance is thus 80/20 in South Africa's favour. Go research it.

Some educated idiot said AGOA is about exporting and not importing. What he smokes is a very strong import.

NHI will steal our right to private healthcare, its like making a law that you can only buy electricity from Eskom and then confiscating your rooftop solar, batteries and inverter you paid for while increasing your tax and then put you on severe load shedding.

15 years ago, flight 1549

@ShaneGreenhough @standbr123 @SimplyMegszcpt Wrong! It is a big factor.

@standbr123 @SimplyMegszcpt AGOA's positive influence is massively overstated. The automotive companies threatening to leave were doing so before this court case. There are lots of reasons to pull investment from SA, this court case is not one of them. Grow up and live in the real world.

@SikhulileT48876 @LibertarianZA Brics is a dead horse

@LibertarianZA Any sanctions to SA will fast track BRICS proceses, western countries should refrain from thinking they can sanction everyone.

South Africa is exhibiting the Dunning-Kruger effect in international politics. We think we’re leading the world fighting for just causes but in truth we’re way out of our depth, coming across as hypocritical supporters of terrorist, dictatorial regimes, and in the process souring relations with key trading partners and the entire western establishment.

@VusumuziWaZweli And how will yoi replace the 400 000 jobs that will be lost in South Africa?

@MCCCANM @SureFireSearle

There are switches which turn off the trim motors. They actually did pull them in the Ethiopian crash, but eventually turned them back on. The trim doesn’t return to normal, it just stops moving. There is a manual trim wheel, but at high speeds, it’s impossible to move due to force on the trim tabs

Harsh. Funny, but harsh

@AndWeavers @Mocha_Soul @kevin_ovenden See you are not aware, AGOA is not a trade agreement. It is a duty free trade arrangement regulated by US LAW, the AGOA act. 400 000 jobs in South Africa will be affected if we loose AGOA. 1 in 36 families in South africa benefit from general trade with the US.

@Mocha_Soul @kevin_ovenden They've already tried to chuck us out of AGOA. I think the South is pretty much ready to tell them where to shove their 'trade agreements' (various countries saying they won't permit lithium mining for export etc).

Do these people have any idea of the damage they are doing among the considerable middle ground globally? "Well, I'm boycotting multiracial post-apartheid South Africa because it is taking legal action against apartheid Israel." Please continue this self-destruction.

@Dean44559496 Happens a lot to all airliner brands, cannot blame Boeing for this one.

Another #Boeing ! They are crap at building airplanes, full stop ! If you wish to committ suicide, fly Boeing 😆 🤣 😂

@XxAliceAdamsxX @FAANews It is not an unsafe airframe. Thousands in the air right now doing fine. Shoddy workmanship the problem.

@FAANews It's an unsafe airframe by design. They didn't want to pay to requalify so they thought they could just compensate for the weight distribution with a software patch. Profits over peoples lives. Poor leadership.

The FAA will require Boeing to provide additional data before the agency approves an extensive and rigorous inspection and maintenance process for returning the 737-9 MAX aircraft to service. Read more at faa.gov/newsroom/safet….

Very good podcastt on the Boeing 737-900 door incident.

@WernerHuman18 Beslis

Die wêreld neem kennis. Mooi

@stewak2 @JTTsteve More installation problem likely. The engineering side is fine. These same door plugs in use for many years even way before the Max era. No problems till this incident came up. Even the Airbus 321 uses plug doors on some models.

@JTTsteve All true, but it’s suboptimal to depend on customer maintenance to identify and correct serious manufacturer defects.

As bad as things are for the moment for Boeing, as a flying passenger you can take solace in the fact that the vast majority of Boeing airliners have been through multiple scheduled checks since they left the factory. Checks that find and repair things like loose bolts.
