The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is investigating a Delta Air Lines flight after pressurization issues caused some passengers to say they suffered ruptured eardrums and nosebleeds and forced the plane to turn around.
On Sunday, the flight, a Boeing 737-900, was traveling from Salt Lake City, Utah, to Portland, Oregon, when it was forced to make an emergency landing back in Salt Lake City due to pressurization issues.
Speaking to KSLTV, one passenger, Caryn Allen, said she looked over and noticed her husband was leaning forward in his seat and had both of his hands over his ears. Allen then noticed other passengers in pain too, saying: “I looked about a row behind me over on the other side of the aisle and there was a gentleman that clearly had a very bad bloody nose and people were trying to help him.”
Yeah, but I assume the entire plane isn’t running the original 24 year old parts.
You can install new shit correctly, but if that shit was made by Boeing, then every time shit got replaced it likely got replaced with worse shit.
Eventually all the good Boeing shit gets replaced by okay shit and that gets maintained with mediocre shit.
Eventually some shit breaks and the backup shit is also shit so the shitty redundancies don’t actually do shit because Boeing has been non-stop shitting for decades, and then all the shit finally hits the fan and that is currently where Boeing is at.
There’s a ton of shit and a lot of fans, so we’ll be seeing this same stories play out for a long time
The shit tides are rising, Randy. And they’re not gonna recede anytime soon…
The point is, if this was a design flaw inherent to the design of the aircraft, it would have shown up earlier than 24 years later on a single plane.
