Open page. Look for the word "Boeing". Find it almost instantly. Be surprised.
Wait, not that last one.
It's a 15 year old plane, at that point it's more about the airline maintenance program and pilots rather than who made it.
15 years is nothing and it's probably the plane of theseus at that point
an average commercial plane is easily used for 20 years, and depending on the model can go for nearly twice as long.
Wasn't the problem with the blown put door for example that the official Boeing maintenance contractors just didn't fix it right? Or was that not "maintenance" but rather "retrofitting"?
I honestly don't quite remember.
They're saying there was a bird strike as they were coming in to land. Boeing may not be a factor on this one.
Not what article is saying. Plane was ordered to a runway to avoid bird strikes. Landing gear failed to fully come down. Pilot did declare mayday 2 minutes before touching down, so seems to have had the opportunity to abort landing, or jettison fuel, which would not normally be full enough on landing to burn everyone.
How do birds take out planes?
I remember watching modern marvels and they were showing jet engines being tested by firing frozen chickens into them and they didn't even blink.
Bird strike took out the landing gear?
