1. Boeing is a company that does not deserve to be in business.

The executive management of Boeing should be indicted for murder. F'ing greedmongers.

2. If corporations are people, this one should get the death penalty

3. And more...

~
The FAA has received at least 216 reports of AOA sensors failing or having to be repaired, replaced or adjusted since 2004, according to data from the FAA's Service Difficulty Reporting website.

Those reports, about one-fifth of which involve Boeing planes, include incidents in which AOA sensors were frozen, improperly installed, struck by lightning or even hit by flying birds. In some cases, faulty sensors led to stall warnings, forcing pilots to abort takeoffs or perform emergency landings.

Boeing relied on single sensor for 737 Max that had been flagged 216 times to FAA

4. Well what can you expect?

The government didn't exercise oversight on Boeing, leaving the poor company all alone and responsible for its own inspections and stuff. That costs money, in case you didn't know! And how is Boeing supposed to keep paying investors and its upper management folks if it's wasting a lot of money making sure safety equipment and sensors are all working properly? Maybe if the executives all got seven figure bonuses, Boeing would be able to do a better job making sure its planes don't kill people instead of transporting them safely from one airport to another? It's worth a try!

5. Greed, profit and power

They don't give a shit about people
