I'll take "Obvious Cover-ups" for $500, Alex.
Who had “Boeing leverages their too-big-to-fail status to cover up gross negligence and murder” on their worst timeline bingo card?
It's not like I thought Boeing were one of the "good guys," but this is all blowing my mind.
Pretty terrifying Doc on NF about Boeing called Downfall: The Case Against Boeing
We could eliminate 90% of air travel if business people could use zoom and email.
So if you don't have any records then you can't prove it was done properly and the assumption should be on the fault of Boeing.
Nationalize Boeing
That's not their way, you must respect local culture.
The way over there is to give big moneys to Boeing, in this case 'for quality assurance', but pretend to forget to attach meaningful strings. Then Boeing must use all of that money for stock buybacks, as custom dictates. Anything other than that would be considered impolite. As a further sign of respect and gratitude Boeing can also fire a few % of their workforce.
As is tradition.
Boeing murdered the whistleblower!
That's why they had to kill the whistle blower, he knew where the video was
He was in the middle of the testimony when he died. That is a more likely reason.
He quit Boeing long before the accident aircraft was built and delivered to the airline, let alone repaired.
Obviously he was saving the really damning info for after they suicided him.
Woopsie!
South Park “we’re sorry” image goes here
I can’t speak for their specific regulations, but setting that data retention to only 24 hours because you don’t want to have evidence of culpability stored for a long time is a good way to go.
As someone who works in aircraft maintenance, I am actually shocked by this. Forget the video footage, that’s just a cheap-assed commercial camera somewhere in the rafters. But the paperwork?
As a repair station, we have to document every single step of every single task. If a mechanic does it, he signs that he has done it and an inspector checks and countersigns that he has done it correctly. For a single aircraft input, this is upwards of 50,000 signed task steps. We have to hand all that data to the customer when it is complete, and also keep it for a minimum of 7 years for most stuff, some things in perpetuity.
If Boeing couldn’t provide the exact names and dates involved within a 5 minute search, then someone has already found it and destroyed it.
When does the FAA start grounding 737's or all Boeing planes?
Boeing is collapsing from internal rot, really sad to see
No, no, no - its their planes that do that.
The company is considered successful only by this one metric apparently:
Not sad at all. Fuck the war crime industrial complex.
And they'll get away with it because they've got a serious amount of lobbying power.
CCTV cameras have a surprisingly short recording time before they record over themselves. With cheap disk storage, you'd think they could record for weeks and weeks before overwriting.
For large corporations, keeping recordings for a long period is common.
I was at Sprint retail back in 2010 when information was leaked by a coworker at my retail store. The internal security team that came to the store less than a week after the leak, had recordings from the cameras 6 months prior that they were referencing when talking to all of us.
A small business may only be keeping camera recordings for maybe a month on a local DVR, but a corporation with their own data centers are going to keep those a lot longer. ESPECIALLY a government contractor where the logging requirements are much more stringent.
There is even a line of hard drives specifically made cheap and dense for security footage.
Their stock is basically moving sideways since the extreme low at the start of the pandemic and the stock is basically going down since the 737 MAX grounding in March 2019. Boeing is in crisis mode for 5 years now
