  • True, as it says in the wikipedia I linked. But is has nothing do to with the 787. This could happen to any plane and in fact does happen on many planes in the past and future. A drop because of airpocket and turbulence are very common.

  • Trump was a wakeup call for me back then. As a teenager in the 90s I always thought that the US has a robust democratic system with a strong militaristic core/underbelly/deepstate that would never compromise the stand of the US. I thought that some three letter agency would always have a plan for everything already drawn up and that action behind the scenes would be taken to ensure the stability and actionability of the states by always being one step ahead of the adversary. For the first Trump year I thought it would be a controlled trick of one of the agencies to trick china/russia into a trap. It must be. The US killed people in other countries around the world to make the US get out on top. No way that bought ads on Facebook can get unrecognized by these agencies to subvert millions.

    My worldview about the US today is absolutely shattered. I do not believe that any three letter agency in the US is capable of steering or controlling anything. That Russia and China are able to influence so many people without any agency confronting these efforts was a wake up call for me. And that there is a chance that trump might have a second term is downright devastating for my assurance in the US. As a child I thought about moving to the US one day. I would have taken the risk of getting shot or struggling with bad healthcare. But now that the believe in the protective stable leading system is gone... what is left? Unleashed capitalism and rampant racism? I can find this everywhere in the world.

    My personal american dream is long over.

  • I can only see three incidents with 787 on wikipedia:

    • 2013 Boeing 787 Dreamliner grounding
    • 2024 TCAS incident over Somalia
    • LATAM Airlines Flight 800

    This does not looks like a repeating pattern. The Flight 800 was a 300ft drop midair with around 30 to 40 people hitting the ceiling of the cabin and landing in Auckland without further problems. This does not sound 787 related. Just keep your seatbelts on.

    The 2024 TCAS incident reads like a near collision based on miscommunication by air traffic control. Not related to the 787 series.

    And well the 2013 787 grounding was based on lithium-ion batteries problems and has now been fixed (?).

    I would say relax and keep your seatbelts buckled (disregarding what airframe you are on).

  • Dont forget the last paragraph:

    One more note about the shot … Kate is seated, as 10-year-old Prince George stands behind his mother. So, for those of you who have BBL on your “What’s up with Kate” bingo cards … we can’t rule it out. Just sayin’ …

    All you need to know.
