The Turbulent History Of All Of Boeing's Disasters
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 жов 2024
- It's no secret that flying can be stressful, but some travel stories sound like nightmares compared to minor inconveniences like long lines and delayed flights. Over the years, multiple airlines have found themselves in hot water for how they treated passengers, especially in the age of social media and viral videos. These incidents include a senior citizen being dragged off a United flight, Delta kicking an entire family off a plane, and Boeing's CEO stepping down after a series of accidents, some of which resulted in human fatalities.

Boeing used to be run by engineers. It was known for quality and treating its employees well. Things really started falling apart after the merger when they switched over to being run by businessmen rather than engineers. Even back then, their employees were predicting that this wasn’t going to end well. Who could’ve predicted that prioritizing profits over safety would ever end poorly?!?!
NOW ITS ALL DIVERSITY HIRES
There's a great netflix documentary covering this, pretty terrifying. My grandfather in law was a rocket engineer there from the 50's to the 90's. Getting any interesting info out of him is like pulling teeth though
To be fair, businessmen should be involved to help the engineers make good financial decisions, but agreed that the engineers should ultimately be in charge.
Not all businessmen are evil. It just depends on if they have the right long-term, sustainable perspective or not. The job isn't evil, how they perform that job is what makes the difference.
@@CAG83 I think its more the current business culture than an individuals outlook. If a company is public the CEO has a fiduciary duty to do what's best for the shareholders and can be sued if a shareholder doesn't think they are. Shareholders are sold on the idea of endless growth and want to see the number going up quarter after quarter no matter what. Not only can you be sued but if a major shareholder decides to pull out the stock will crash which makes other shareholders pull out. For these reasons modern ceo's have to focus on short term growth and tend to let the companies long term health fall by the way side. Even a CEO that wants to focus long term will likely be forced into making dumb short term decisions.
@@nateb4543What kind of rocks? Igneous?
"Was highly respected". Respect takes a lifetime to earn and just moments to he lost and Boeing has exemplified that truth.
Before merger with McDonnell Douglas, Boeing's focus was on quality. But after the merger McDonnell Douglas' culture of profit over quality became part of Boeing's management ethos.
9:42 I will never understand companies retaliating against employees, for bringing up quality issues.
Shareholders. Speaking out that on issues that cost money to fix takes away from shareholders trying to make a quick buck.
I like this narrator 🙂 We can't always have the original guy. *If we can't have OG this one good*
Yeah, he's good! Love our OG and hope he sticks around, but I like this guy a lot.
Definitely better than that other nasally narrator
The reason why companies, even huge companies with an insane monopoly over the market such a Boeing, do things like this is simple: Greed. The more planes you can push in a short period of time = more money, and its all funnelled to the very top. Sad reality we live in where earning more money, even when they have more than enough, is worth more than the safety of all of their passengers.
Boeing is far from a monopoly. The vast majority of their problems come from outsourcing to foreign countries like India. The amount of foreign employees with fake credentials in that company is astounding.
It’s in cases like these that social media is actually really good. They can’t hide anymore, the word spreads like wildfire.?
It makes me sick and have zero faith left in humanity.
It's greed, but more importantly it's short-sighted. It's possible to be greedy but still be smart enough to realize that "cutting corners" when making airplanes is going to backfire on you in the end lol.
Ultimately they're trying to increase shareholder value. Having the company's reputation ruined is a great way to tank the stocks.
I like this narrator. He is easy to listen to and has a very pleasant voice and cadence.
this is the preferred alternate narrator.
I like him too; he can take over from the irritating female on Weird History Food any time, as well!
This is the same company that designed and built the BUFF (B-52). That iconic aircraft is older than many of the pilots flying it. The GRANDPA BUFF is forever. Changing topography for over 75 years.
DuPont, super weird history.
Worked at the place where Black Water movie was based. It's a joke. Ruined the land and people's lives.
Welp, if this channel suddenly gone, we know why...
😂😂😂
Lol
That's why they had this narrator instead of the other guy
The voice is gone
😅
Please do The History on Airbus
"The only two places in the world that had airports back then"
Gander : Am I a joke to you?
Okay. So... If i ever fly... DON'T fly on a Boeing... lol
The 737 was my favorite plane, but I won't set foot on a 737 MAX. Try Airbus or Embraer, they are really great planes.
If it's Boeing, I'm not going!!
Seems like Boeing flew a little too close to the sun...
Stock photo of a brake job on a car?
I was thinking the same!! 😂
It's the perfect picture to use to showcase their techs have no idea what they're doing lmao 😂
Face it. The average viewer probably isn't going to know any better.
My grandfather and my grandmother both worked for Boeing in the 60's and 70's. They are both gone now, but they would be so embarrassed and disappointed if they were still alive and could see what has become of that company now.
Well not as good as our original guy but better than the other sub guy
It all vaguely reminds me of the firestone tires scandal in the 90s, except if the cars with those tires were each carrying hundreds more passengers
Hey interesting subject. Thanks for sharing.
This is what happens when a company outsources too much. Especially to India. My brother recently retired from Boeing and he says it’s far worse than what’s being told.
these decisions to cut corners are being made by white Americans based in the US. hope you don't fly on a Boeing anytime soon
Excellent host/narrator
absolute garbage compared to the real narrator but way better than anything else they've tried
Being a native to Seattle, a lot of people, including myself were pissed off when they decided to move a major part of the company to South Carolina several years back. It was done to reduce costs, and the jobs created/filled there were by my estimation, done by a “sub-Boeing standard” work pool. A lot of experienced, longtime employees here lost their jobs. You get what you pay for…
Sometime back in the 70s, Benny Hill (anyone remember HIM?) did a routine about flying which contained:
"And they said, welcome aboard this Boeing airplane. What kind of name is that for an airplane? Sounds like a piece fell off...you know, 'Boing!'"
Seems it ain't just the Simpsons who predict the future...
I now have Yackety Sax playing in my head as Benny chases stewardesses up and down the aisle. 😂
It's been nice knowing you John History the 2nd
I hear this in Tom Blank's voice. His inflection is what makes wierd history work. *sighs*
What about the space capsule stuck in space? Forgot to mention that.
Could you do a video about the Tenerife disaster?
How about looking at AT&T?
A backup narrator we can get behind. Good job new guy!
Great (newish) narrator!
I see why you guys went with the other narrator....very wise move
The trolls about the narrator need to get over themselves, and either deal with the requirements for multiple narrators. Or go find another channel to watch.
Having four or five narrators is a bit uncommon. People prefer consistency and familiarity.
What requirements? How much time does it take to record 10-20 minutes of audio once a week?
@@owenross7470 it takes a bit of work. Look it up .-.
Or the whiners who can’t handle reading other people’s opinions should pour themselves a tall glass of shut the fuck up juice, pull up their pampers and get on with it. There, I fixed it for you🙄🤦🏾♀️
I like this narrator! Along with the original and the female! Completely abhor the other male one!
Your delivery is so much better than before! Your take on a campy, light voice ruined the previous videos. Please keep the same delivery and let the script do the comedy
I think it's the Ember voice from chatgpt.
It's a different narrator
I had to stop and look up the current usage of 747s that were all over the airlines when I was a kid! Only a handful are still around and they're no longer manufactured!
Yeah when I hear the company "Boeing" I just think "Isn't that the company that's planes keep crashing?"
A+ video!
LOVE IT! Very eye-opening and thought-provoking!
Thanks for sharing.
I accidentally click the notification and its my first time I watch your channel since two or tree years.
No wonder why they had the backup narrator for this one
Narrator the 3rd! 🤜🤛
8:12 "We need an inspection image. We're talking about Boeing"...eh how about a guy changing brake pads on a car? "PERFECT"
Corporate indifference kills.
good narrator, instead of the first option. This one is similar to OG one
I can't say for certain and it may just be me, but this narrator sounds quite a bit like the "Ember" voice from ChatGPT.
Boeing, with the help of the FAA, simply warning about the MCAS problem was the moment they truly broke my heart. Of course, it all starts back with that McDonell Douglas merger.
Amazon. My husband worked for them. They are SUPER shady.
My husband worked for Amazon too. They are shady as F, but they were pretty good about my husband's mental needs.
I always said my kids are smarter than😊. When my son got to college for being an electrical engineer on a six hour interview with boeing. My son said thank you for the interview but no thank you.🤔
Yes, Boeing has been having serious issues. That said, planes from every major manufacturer declare emergencies on a daily basis.
10:06 Riiiiiiiiiiigt... That's what they WANT you to think!
For me, it was how old Boeing is. It's over 100 years old!
Boeing was the largest employer in my hometown of Wichita, KS, after they bought out a local company called Stearman in 1927...until they left in the early 2000s.
The Kaydet mentioned at the beginning was really a Stearman plane.
Competition in the airline industry seems lacking as long as Boeing is around.
Orville Wright thought the airplane would mean the end of war. After the dropping of the atomic bomb, he thought the plane and the bomb would bring an end to war.
Boeing made furniture? Were they sturdy?
"Bowing"

No seriously 😂
You ought to create a video titled: "The History of the Weird History UA-cam Channel".
This company really has some big troubles and explaining.
No such thing as “coincidence”.
“If it’s a Boeing, I’m not going”! 😅
Boeing hitman got to the The narrator before he released the video and they had to get a new guy 😭
Well, now you have to update your community of your safety daily...
Right???
Nothing is surprising with a company with zero moral value
Boeing isn’t to blame for the engine issues that’s on the airline maintenance and engine companies
Monsanto
My cousin has been a long time QC inspector for Boeing for many years. If you knew him like I do, you'd understand why I wouldn't let him do a QC inspection on a claw hammer. The guy is a moron.
Boeing's quality control problems extended way back into the 2000's. On the 737 NG's (next generation), which include the -600 -700 -800 and -900 series 737's, it was found that workers were making alterations to parts and areas in order to make sure they aligned properly. A Turkish Airlines 737 NG that crashed in 2009. Although the aircraft crashed due to pilot error and an equipment error, the aircraft broke up on impact in an odd manor that shouldn't have happened.
Still the wrong voice. Better, but not best.
But those deaths had nothing to do with what those men said about Boeing...
Mr. Hands was a Boeing employee. R.I.P.
Pretty sad that a whole video can be made compiling their problems in recent history
Btw, what's the weird part?
Boeing is becoming the modern day McDonnell-Douglas
I’ve never been comfortable flying in a plane whose company name sounds like a mechanical failure.
Boeing's stock plummeted harder than their planes
How sad the bottom line is always the top priority
And sure the whistleblowers deaths are just a coincidence considering the company admitting to retaliating against employees...
2nd!
Yes, I have no life.
they use to be great. today they SUCK!
That they are still solvent and allowed to be open for business.
These days Boeing can get a flying vehicle to take off but they've lost the art of landing it again! If it's aimed at the I.S.S that is. 📡🚀
Greedy will fix later nothing going on😢😢😢😢😢
There's no procedure to disable MCAS, it's impossible to disable. What the pilots in the second crash did was disable the trim elevator.
Says 31 billion lost, but shows 33 billion
Get your facts straight
Who is this new guy💀
Think you better do your fact checks better... In 1958 there where ALOT of airports around the world😂
I know! 😹 maybe he meant that back in the day we had more “airfields” and not the modern airport that we know today?
@@mst3kanita That would just make it way worse😅
We already had a couple in norway at that time..
Google airports in 1958...
How about Pfizer? Also, the company that made the MMR vaccine.
And we never heard from you again
What the hell is this whose voice is this
Narrator doing alot better
It's a different narrator
They now prioritize DEI and it shows. I wonder when they'll minecraft me like the whistleblowers for this comment
Boing 47
Get this worm out . He dosnt sound the same . We can tell
I'm going to watch the videos:
x What It Was Like During The Golden Age Of Flying (1st Recommendation, 2nd time watching)
x What Happened During the Golden Age of Hijackings (2nd Recommendation, second time watching)
x All the Features We Know About On Air Force One
x How Juliane Koepcke Survived A Plane Crash And 11 Days Alone In The Amazon
x The Fastest Commercial Plane Ever Ended in A Blaze of Tragedy
Love the channel, but gotta unsubscribe after hearing you come to Boeings defense.Acting like the timing of the whistleblowers deaths was a coincidence is laughable.
Eating ANOTHER Weird History Halloween Candy!
Eating Andes Chocolates (Creme De Menthe)*†...while watching this Weird History video!
The title of this video reminds me of the Andes plane crash in the movies Alive and Society of the Snow!
* Inspired by the Weird History videos about The Miracle of the Andes!

Wrong narrator voice...
Yeah, he’s doing an impression of the one good narrator guy (the only videos I bother watching on this channel and their Weird Food History channel).
Dude seriously? One guy can’t record every single video on this large channel. You and 200 other people comment this same thing every video. Get over it already.
Just give the narrator voice wingeing a rest, will you. If you don't like it, then don't watch the f***ing video. Easy as that.
@@Katinahat293Hi🙂
@@Brad-ic4bpI didn’t know there was a Weird Food History Channel. Thanks
I don’t like this narrator as much. He isn’t bad at all, just not as interesting to listen to.
First like😀
My friend died in the 1989 Iowa cornfield crash. The plane was built by McDonnell. McDonnell merged with Boieng in 1997.
Like Tom Blank, but not Tom Blank. I request the original voiceover master. No Mr. Blank, no views or likes from me.
Fire this guy , he doesn't have a good narrator voice, need one I can fall asleep to, like the other guy.
