Flawed analysis, failed oversight: How Boeing, FAA certified suspect 737 MAX flight control system

[Pressure]

The Market grounded the planes for passenger safety, Boeing ran to government for help keeping them in the air...

If you consider the market to be every other country's governments then sure. Pressure from the government regulator market forced the FAAs hand comrade :Krembron:

Regulations lead to accountability

The fact you can look at our government and say this tells me all I need to know.

Corporations can be trusted with our safety and best interest. That always works out.

And this is why the conservative pipe dream of less government, and let the companies regulate themselves, is a bad idea. That’s not saying that government is any better. Especially in a case like this where Boeing has such a cozy relationship with the government. It took a number of countries to ground the plane, before the US government decided to follow suit. Even though this fatal flaw was known.

Government is clearly better.

I trust the Koch brother to do whats best for their bottom line... and no matter how hard leftist try to spin it, killing people aint good for business, or ones freedom... unless you insert government


Has anyone from Boeing been arrested yet?

 

[ColdSlither]

Again, Boeing would be fully liable if self regulated... I doubt any real harm comes to their fat cats under state regulators.
In fact I doubt anyone goes to jail.

With the amount of money they're tossing around

Oil spill still leaking into the Gulf of Mexico 15 years later

Port Eads, La. — In 2004, Hurricane Ivanplowed across the Gulf of Mexico and triggered an oil spill that is still leaking. It's the longest continuous oil spill in American history.

Captain Rick Jiannuzzi took CBS News to where the Taylor oil rig once stood.

"Wherever it looks smooth, that's all the sheen," he said.

From the air, that sheen is visible for miles and you can even see it from space. Fifteen miles out, you can also smell it.

In 2004, Hurricane Ivan destroyed the MC20 oil platform operated by Taylor Energy. The company has spent over $400 million working alongside the U.S. Coast Guard to contain and clean up the spill which Taylor estimates has been leaking at a rate of about ten gallons a day for years.

But Florida State oceanographer and oil spill expert Ian MacDonald, who has studied the site for the government using underwater technology, thinks the leak is closer to 96 barrels a day. MacDonald convinced the Coast Guard that more oil is leaking than previously thought.

"We're talking about coming up on half a million barrels of oil," he said. "What's happening now is the Coast Guard and the government is saying wait a minute, we're going to take charge because we think that you're underestimating the amount of oil."

In a statement to CBS News, the company said, "Taylor Energy is raising the alarm about the junk science the Coast Guard is now using to justify activities that could destabilize the site."

The Coast Guard is now working with a private contractor to cap the well and will demand Taylor Energy pay the bill. But the fight over the spill has moved from the Gulf to a courtroom because Taylor has pursued legal action to block the containment.

Until the leak is stopped and the courtroom battle ends, we won't know how the spill will affect the marshlands or the fish and wildlife.

Government is clearly better.

It doesn’t even have to be the government. It can be a independent organization to do the inspections. Regardless, the company having a say in anything is a conflict of interest.

There was some clown on Bloomberg just now saying it may have been due to pilots not understanding the systems. They cut him off pretty quickly though.
