Oh, I got the Clark and Dawe reference. But if you think the front falling off isn't typical for Boeing, you haven't been paying attention for the last few years.
I was never afraid to fly … until the latest generation of Boeing jets. I know that statistically the risk is still very low, but when it turns out I'm going to fly on a Dreamliner, I'm always somewhat stressed.
Have to admit, I agree. I know there is a lot of sensationalism out there, but there are serious reasons to take issue with Boeing's output, especially newer models.
It's not like I'm refusing to fly on Boeing and I think that's generally an overreaction... but there is a slight, very slight relief when I see my flight is scheduled with an Airbus.
Well, the 767 Max is fucking scary, everything about that aircraft is a mess. But on a technical level, the 787 "dreamliner' is a whole different story. There were some real innovations with that aircraft, it's doing a lot right.
That said, there could certainly be some new issues with it that I'm not aware of. But at least, the last I heard, it was still a really good example of modern aerospace tech.

Yeah, that’s not very typical, I’d like to make that point!

For Boeing? More typical than one might hope.

If it's Boeing...I'm not going.

At this point I wouldn’t trust Boeing to make a safe can opener.

What, you want to open the plane up with a Boeing opener? No need for that, the door plugs pop out on their own. For your convenience.

Holy shit.
This thing collapsed at the gate, before passengers were on board.
A collapse on takeoff or landing could have killed everyone on board.
