Challenger: The Final Flight (Netflix)
https://youtu.be/ILAeVAgqFV4Excellent 4-parter about the Challenger shuttle disaster. I think it should be required viewing for anyone at Boeing. It’s a cautionary tale about how cutting corners.
For many Gen-Xers and Xennials like me this was our “where were you?” moment...like Race remembering where he was when Lincoln was assassinated.

I sometims wonder how terrifying it was for @RaceBannon during the bubonic plague. This is why he laughs off Covid. The Vid is the Black Deaths bitch.

I get that the Challenger disaster has more of a burned-in-memory significance, but Boeing definitely outdid this with the 737 MAX killing 346 people.Doog_de_Jour said:

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/737-max-crashes-killed-346-were-horrific-culmination-failures-boeing-n1240192DeFazio said the House committee chose to release the report following its 18-month investigation to “spotlight not only on the broken safety culture at Boeing but also the gaps in the regulatory system at the FAA that allowed this fatally-flawed plane into service.”
The committee's statement said its 239-page report, with more than 70 investigative findings, reveals “repeated and serious failures” by both Boeing and the FAA.
The report claims that Boeing made “extensive efforts to cut costs” due to financial pressure and refused to slow its 737 Max production line, jeopardizing safety. -
go back a little further and a repair to a pressure bulkhead on the tail section of a JAL 747 killed more.
The details of that are disgusting. I knew some folks involved in that one. -

What I remember of the Challenger going down was the inappropriate jokes that came out. You do not want to be working in an engineering department when tragedy strikes.
Similar to the humor on this site.
#TooSoon? is what I remember. -
Ha! Good catch. For my side hustle (you know, when I’m not at the brothel), I do a lot of proofreading and writing...so it makes zero sense I miss that kind of shit, but here we are.1to392831weretaken said:
