Years earlier, she had asked a boss if he would let his children fly on a plane with the litany of flaws and non-conformances he was urging her to “pencil-whip”: “Cindy, none of these planes are staying in America, they’re all going overseas,” he retorted, much to her horror.
Boeing is straight fucking scum, but that was the strangest plane crash I’ve ever seen. (LOL, like I’m an export.) The truth will out.
i’ve seen one, where the plane stalled after taking off and then kinda went backwards, then dove frontal again. if i remember correctly, unsecured cargo was suspected. it fell like a leaf.

Thanks for sharing this.
Aside from the promotional material in the video, it’s nice to see something that shows the raw footage instead of some talking heads babbling over an edited cut.
I remember that, if I remember correctly, it was a tank, and they suddenly had a massive CoG shift to the back of the aircraft, causing the plane to pitch up and stall.
Ya it was military equipment that was not secured appropriately.
That is crazy, it looked like CGI.
a game glitching.
Yeah… The article is conflating power failure with engine failure. It was a very odd plane crash, and it didn’t appear that they had power failure. It looks like they lost thrust on both engines, which is really rare in multiengine aircraft.
It seemed to take forever to start to rotate and the nose was pointed up the whole time. I would have expected to see the nose point down to prevent a stall.
Had they gotten high enough to even be able to nose down though?
Yep, another Boeing mystery crash where everything stopped working at once.
I’m kinda suspicious that the critical moments weren’t actually missing from Jeju Air’s black boxes when they were delivered to the US.
The 787 has backup power for black boxes while the 737 uses an outdated design that does not, so there shouldn’t be missing data hopefully.
Good. They might be more intact, too, given how it sounds like this plane landed.
I don’t know much about the deep details of either plane, but as I understand it there is a backup power system on the 737, albeit not one for the black boxes themselves. The indications were it just failed as well, at the same time.
