The Turbulent History Of All Of Boeing's Disasters

  • 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?!?!

      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.

    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.

    • @kevinwebster7868

      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 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.

    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.

      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.

    I don’t like this narrator as much. He isn’t bad at all, just not as interesting to listen to.

    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.
