Is it just me or does it feel that 2024 has not been a very good year in aviation safety? It seems that almost every month there’s news about some major crash or incident and then of course there was the whole fiasco with Boeing
The Boeing executives cut all safety standards and decided killing whistleblowers is cheaper. After years of Boeing lowering their safety standards the effects are now getting visible.
I know - but it has another decade with proper maintenance.
Blaming the manufacturer 15 years ago has come and passed- that aircraft has had thousands of basic inspections, and probably hundreds more replacement parts, in depth inspections and rectified faults. Probably the only thing still original is the frame and skin.
The design is in large part responsible for detecting failures. If Boeing designed the plane without redundant sensors or failsafes these things happen.
Whose fault it is cannot be concluded yet, but Boeing could be partially to blame. In the past everything had many failsafes but Boeing removed them to cut cost.

According to another poster its a 15 year old plane.
This ain’t a manufacturer issue.
At 15 years old a decently maintained plane is going to have like another decade in it. Maybe more. That’s not that high a number.

Hey, its the US! This Boeing fellow is innocent until.
Yes, it’s been the worst year since 2018 Incredibly, only two years before 2018 were actually better than 2024. https://mastodon.social/@Datagraver/113735310494361049
