Ethiopian Airlines crash



A Defense Department inspector general investigation has been launched to determine whether @ActingSecDef Shanahan violated ethics rules by promoting products made by my his former employer, Boeing, while serving in his current Pentagon role.

Anti-stall function error going off within 6 minutes? WTF! Engines will be at 100% making the climb to cruising altitude so the software perceives a stall even then?

Terrible, really really bad.
 
Wasn't this the story in fight club?

Fight club hussle is based on fact.

Ford accountants realised it was cheaper to compensate victims of their deadly product than halt production.

Funny old world

Probably be the safest planes to fly on in a few months. Boeing will be all over this if there is any hint of issue with one of their main products

It's a fundamental flight dynamics issue they tried to patch with a flight system.

Good luck with that one Boeing!

It's the angle of attack sensor that's caused the problem, the system thinks the aircraft is pitched too high and compensates for it, one sensor with no redundancy.
