mike carey Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 I think it's drawing a rather long bow to attribute all of these incidents involving Boeing aircraft to the manufacturer. A 767 operated by a freight carrier and an old model 737? I'd say operator error, maintenance practices or a less rigorous aviation regulator are more likely the proximate cause. + DynamicUno and + azdr0710 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ glutes Posted May 10 Author Share Posted May 10 And for today's Boeing incidents: 1. A Boeing 737 was forced to make an emergency landing just minutes after taking off Friday morning after issues with one of the plane’s wings — the latest blunder by the safety-scarred aerospace giant. The United Airlines flight — which was carrying 50 passengers — had just left Fukuoka Airport in Southern Japan at about 11:45 a.m. when the wing irregularities surfaced, according to The Sun. The plane swiftly turned around and headed back, the outlet said. https://nypost.com/2024/05/10/us-news/boeing-737-makes-emergency-landing-after-irregularity-with-wing-report/ An Air France Boeing 777-200ER had to divert to Montreal due to a burning smell in the cabin. The aircraft was operating flight AF21 between Los Angeles and Paris. The Boeing 777-300ER was reportedly plunged into darkness before the odor developed. An Air France spokesperson confirmed that the airline’s Boeing 777-200ER was forced to divert to Montreal, Canada after a burning smell appeared in the cabin. The aircraft was carrying 315 passengers and 13 crew members, including three pilots and ten cabin crew members. https://simpleflying.com/air-france-af21-los-angeles-paris-montreal-boeing-777/ Danny-Darko 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny-Darko Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 Multiple plane mishaps revive scrutiny on Boeing — RT World News ON.RT.COM A Boeing-made jet’s emergency in Japan follows two landing incidents in Türkiye and a crash in Senegal Multiple plane mishaps revive scrutiny on Boeing An emergency in Japan follows two landing incidents in Türkiye and a crash in Senegal Multiple plane mishaps revive scrutiny on Boeing A Corendon Airlines Boeing 737-800 at the Gazipasa airport in Turkiye, May 09, 2024. © Yunus Ugur/Anadolu One Boeing-made plane has crashed and three more have suffered technical problems this week, bringing renewed focus on the US aerospace giant’s production woes. A United Airlines 737-800 series passenger jet had to make an emergency landing about 40 minutes after takeoff on Friday. Flight UA166 from Fukuoka, Japan to Guam had reported a “problem with flaps.” In the early hours of Thursday, an Air Senegal 737-38J skidded off the runway during takeoff from the Blaise Diagne International Airport (AIBD) in Dakar, Senegal. There were 73 passengers and six crew on board the flight to Bamako, Mali. Eleven were injured in the incident, four of them seriously. On Wednesday afternoon, a Corendon Airlines Boeing 737-800 blew out a tire on its front landing gear upon arriving at the Gazipasa-Alanya Airport (GZP) in southern Türkiye. All 190 people on board were safely evacuated but the wheel hubs were heavily damaged, according to the airport authority. Boeing investigated over falsified plane recordsREAD MORE: Boeing investigated over falsified plane records Earlier that same day, a Boeing 767 had to make an emergency landing at Istanbul Airport (IST). Flight FX6238, operated by FedEx, arrived from Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG) but had to land “without opening the front landing gear due to a technical issue,” the Istanbul airport operator said in a statement. It took the airport a day to safely move the plane from Runway 16R, according to Istanbul Airport CEO Selahattin Bilgen. The series of problems came after the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announced it had opened an investigation into one of Boeing’s factories. Employees at a South Carolina facility making the Boeing 787 Dreamliner jet may have skipped mandatory inspections and falsified records, the agency said. The aerospace company has previously reported issues with the wide-body 787, blaming them on US sanctions against Russia that disrupted the production of a key component. Second Boeing whistleblower dies suddenlyREAD MORE: Second Boeing whistleblower dies suddenly Boeing took substantial losses in 2019-2020, after the FAA grounded all 737-MAX planes due to a string of fatal crashes. The agency eventually blamed the crashes on a combination of bad sensors and software problems and Boeing has insisted the planes were perfectly safe ever since. Leaked internal memos suggested otherwise, however. Two Boeing whistleblowers have turned up dead in the past three months. Joshua Dean, 45, died suddenly of antibiotic-resistant pneumonia on May 2. The former Spirit AeroSystems employee had raised the alarm over lax standards in the production of the 737-MAX. John Barnett, a former Boeing quality control manager, was found dead in March, just before he was due to testify in a whistleblower lawsuit against the company. The authorities ruled the incident a suicide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Few passengers truly listen and follow instruction. I've seen it my whole life flying around the world. Outside of the USA it's not uncommon to see some stand up and gather their overhead bags and start to move towards the front as soon as the wheels touch the runway and the plane is still slowing down! And some flight crews don't even care either! I guess because they are so used to it or their countryman's behavior. What surprised me most is that none of the ramp service trucks or seemed to have on hand a fire extinguisher!
