Boeing 737: Trump's government shutdown delayed fixes to airplane involved in multiple deadly crashes
Fatal Ethiopian Airlines crash follows multiple warnings from US pilots to Washington during shutdown of 'significantly reduced' oversight

Though the cause of the latest accident remains under investigation, the plane company said in a press conference on Tuesday it had been working on the update over “the past several months” to address a feature that reportedly caused one of its 737 MAX planes to nose-dive into the ocean last year, killing everyone on board. The two pilots on that Lion Air flight struggled to correct the issue as the plane plunged into the sea, according to investigators.

The fatal Ethiopian Airlines crash, which also killed all 157 passengers on the flight, followed the US government shutdown — the longest of its kind in American history — in which pilots warned Donald Trump and Congressional leadership that “certification and work on safety-related airworthiness directives” had been stalled by the federal closure.

A coalition of nearly 61,000 pilots wrote in multiple letters to the government during the shutdown that oversight at the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) had been “significantly reduced” or halted outright."

“There are also airline and aircraft manufacturing oversight activities that either stop or are significantly reduced,” the pilots association warned the White House in early January. “These safety and oversight inspections will potentially allow for the introduction of safety issues that put passengers and airline crews at risk.

Hey.
It sounds like you are a fan of fascism communism socialism.

Don't you know that companies drown in red tape and the BEST way to resolve any problem ever is to reduce the amount of regulatory oversight and regulations themselves?

Thanks Trump for getting rid of useless things that keep the public safe!

The Golden One just announced that US planes are grounded, too.

Pray. Pray for our president, and pray for our country. Tough times are coming that are going to be even worse. It is my prayer that we may all be ready (spiritually holy) so as not to miss out on the Rapture.

That’s only because there’s no place for them to fly to.

One with the gift of prophecy once said that each day puts us one day closer. Think about it.

Ok, when was the shutdown ended?

Why did they wait so long? If they thought is was a serious issue, the publically held companies could have grounded the planes or brought them in for maintenance anytime.

 

[ilovejcsog]

Would you sound the alarm with only one crash? The latest is only the second according to the news last night.

If there's money to made, why should they?

1) Of the exact same make
2) These are NEW planes not old ones.

Don't hold him responsible for anything! Don't hold him responsible for anything!

How about if we calmly examine the problem and find a fix for it?

Or should we keep looking for Obama's birth certificate?

I don't think anyone is calling for anything but what you say.

In the meantime, it may also be prudent to figure out not only WHAT but HOW the problem came to be and find solutions to that problem too.

I read with interest your link from FOX NEWS.

There is nothing in it that even remotely resembles the title of this thread.

Do you read the links before posting them? Because this one doesn’t speak about anything in the title.

1. I’m not the OP
2. Yes, you’re correct, I didn’t read the article, being more concerned that it met with official hislegacy’s stringent news vetting protocols,
3. While I generally enjoy being at the beck-and-call of random internet proof-demanders, its a HARD NEWS STORY, as such, the “source” isn’t near as important.
4. Oh! The “Trump blames...”, Yeah, that might be a thing I would have looked for if you made mention of that being your concern. Please complain better.
