Another Boeing airplane just crashed at an airport in South Korea's Muan County upon landing, after its landing gear malfunctioned. Boeing plane's landing gears have been facing problems after they were allowed to fly with the ending of COVID restrictions. The plane was reported to be a Boeing 737-800. The plane carried 175 passengers and 6 crew members, that took off from Thailand. Latest report puts the death toll at 67, with casualties rising.
That was not the only bad news for Boeing ending a disastrous 2024. Another plane, also a Boeing 737-800, crashed landed at Torp Airport in Norway, with no casualties reported. It skidded on its belly, the cause of which was not disclosed.
The destruction of Boeing is happening right before our eyes. Airlines are unhappy with Boeing's inability to deliver planes that are desperately needed to cater to travel demands. On the other hand, Boeing is trying desperately to solve inherent problems with its quality control now under scrutiny by the FAA. Airbus is undoubtedly benefitting from Boeing's trouble, and these two crashes adds another layer of doubt in the minds of passengers and airlines distrust of Boeing. But getting rid of inherent prejudice is difficult for some after decades of brainwashing, just like the mindset of those who did not visit China and basing their judgements on what is reported on MSM without having been there or trying it out.
Meanwhile, China's Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China Ltd, (small they call it) is doing well supplying planes for its domestic carriers. Some airlines, frustrated with all the delays in taking delivery of planes from Boeing, are said to be moving to secure planes from China's COMAC, which is a small step and a big leap for aviation. The USA and the West will try to put hurdles behind the certification of China's COMAC planes for the international market. Let them continue to do so, by neglecting its own plane maker slowly going down the gutter.

It seems that the onus of the crash and ongoing investigation is now centered on the Muan Airport, the Airline and its leaders and the wall. Nothing is wrong with the plane landing without its landing gear not functioning. Boeing is another too big to fail USA company and cannot be targeted. The fact is that if the crash is proven to be a fault of the plane's landing gear, compensation is going to be costly. I do not know whether there are limits to that, but reputation wise it is going to cost Boeing dearly in its floundering reputation.
Now this is not the only occasion that Boeing landing gears have malfunctioned. That belly landing in Torp Airport, Norway was also because of the same landing gear malfunctioning. There was no bird strike damaging the landing gears to blame on. What is the explanation? And this is not the only other incident. Not long ago, a plane tire flew off a Boeing plane after take-off at Los Angeles International Airport. And they kept claiming that China is making junks. What about Boeing?
With one of the plane's black boxes sent to the USA for squeezing out information, how far can we be certain they are upfront? Will the information be sanitized to save Boeing's reputation? You bet!
There is an ongoing outcry from travelers that tells the whole story - 'If it is Boeing, I am not going'. That had better be the motto of the flying public. It is their life that they are gambling with.
Ah neh lah.
They are barking up the wrong tree. The source of the causes of the Boeing disasters is the Indians.
I hope SIA is doing their due diligence in checking all their Boeing plane. Also don't behave like the complacent attitude of SMRT management. I foresee more Boeing plane problem for 2025..hope no more innocent live are lost (for self serving politician, it ok).
Indian fake engineers and technicians will bring down Boeing and other American aviation related companies, including NASA.
NASA already shown its failure to bring back the two stranded astronauts. Elon Musk's SpaceX was hyped up to be the fallback rescue mission, but basically failed to live up to its reputation, now extending the rescue mission to March instead of January. Putin must be having a good laugh behind his desk.
I guess SpaceX also have many Indians among its ranks. But Elon Musk needs cheaper workers not only for SpaceX but for Tesla as well. Therefore, Trump's deporting of Indian workers must be causing Musk some sleep. And the irony is Musk now has an Indian deputy appointed by Trump helping him as well. All is bad and it will end badly.
Oops, I am confused as to who is the President-elect and who is the real President on January 20th. Well, USA is always ready for electing one and getting one free, LOL. Doesn't matter, does it?
UAss Flag half mast for that Peanut Ex Presidnet that passed away for 30 days.
Clashed with Dotard's InArghartion!
He extremely angry no good Fong Sui!
Maybe sentenced on Jan 10 alreday going to Mar Lagu Resorts liao!
UAss Flag half mast the next Four Years as collaspse soonest.
Cheers
Now June NOT March.
Another Boeing 787 had landing gear trouble before taking off at Melbourne Airport with 300 passengers on board. Two wheels collided and exploded. Luckily the plane had not yet taken off.
Boeing is in deep trouble. It needs to recall all Boeing aircraft, ground them and do a thorough investigation on their landing gears before another deadly crash happens. The American civil aviation authority would act blur and not do anything like the previous crashes until China stop Boeing from flying into China. Only then that they took action.
All responsible airlines must immediately stop flying Boeing aircraft. If not they will be held responsible for negligence if the airline's Boeing aircraft crashes and kill more people.
ICAO must act immediately. It is the only responsible thing to do.
Boeing subcontract software engineering to India at $9 per hour, slightly above the minimum wage of $7.50. You pay peanuts, you get monkeys. Indian software is now controlling how the aircraft flies and operation of its landing gears.
Another grounding of Boeing aircrafts worldwide will undoubtedly destroy Boeing for sure. They will make sure this does not happen by pretending that crashes have nothing to do with Boeings shortcomings. People are not that stupid. The buzzword now trending is - 'If it is Boeing, I am not going'.
What Trump might do if the world boycotts Boeing is threatening tariffs on them if they do not force its citizens to fly Boeing. This is Trump's way of thinking. Do not think this is a joke.
