Why the hell is there a wall so close to the runway????

tingermaster.bsky.social•61 days ago

Probably to control jet blast hitting something behind it. I believe the jet went off the runway?

Bird strike?

That's the report. Bird lodged in landing gear.

This looks very bad for Boeing

Why? Plane was sold 15 years ago, model has no issues.

Except for the fact it crashed you mean.

And this on top of ths other issues surrounding the company and its practices.

No I understand crash. Just pretty clear this isn’t a BA issue. Yes BA challenged in design and production recently. Just don’t conflate. Bad look

How do you know? The crash has yet to be investigated.

How much does Boeing pay for you to run damage control?

gatorjosh.bsky.social•61 days ago

Much is already out. Granted choices of pilots under dire circumstance not clear. But with surviving crew, passengers calling family before crash, visual accounts all point to engine issues, hydraulic loss and limited time to manually lower landing gear. All comes back to birds.
