Crash of a 737 Max 8 in Ethopia, thoughts sought

[cleatus]

I was surprised by 1 drone photo of crash scene. No 1/4 of a mile long debris field. This plane nosed in and buried itself. Retrieval of parts via Cat excavator and front end loader to allow sifting of dirt. I'm guessing that the software has one little unanticipated feature that only occurs when various sensor inputs and pilot inputs cause the control system to think the best course of action is to roll over and lose elevation. I'm hoping for better informed opinions of possibilities from you. If anything like that comes to light, how the hell does Boeing announce a software update?

Nothing of any value to add but coincidentally I’m reading this on a Max 8

Why is Earth’s axis shifting?
Humanity has now burned enough fossil fuel to tip the planet slightly. Karl Kruszelnicki explains.

It's because of climate change.

Also remember the Earth is now long over-due (over 100,000 years) when the Earth suddenly stops spinning and then starts spinning again in the opposite direction.

Apocalypse coming soon...kind of like a bad Mark Wahlberg movie.

It was better when pilots actually had to fly the planes ...

Of course, only Donald Trump could possibly know the reason why these planes are falling from the sky.

The Happening was a real bad movie.

I wonder when the head of the FAA is going to comment?



OH, thats right, we havent had one for 14 months because Trump is trying to place one of his campaign managers in the position and it's too much for even the Republicans to go along with.

One of the most jaw dropping tweets he's made imo.

Edit: why am I trapped in this quote!?!?

Pushing back from the gate now on a max 8. Maybe you’ll all finally get your wish

You sure about that?? Only ask because the US announced earlier today they were ordering all 737 Max 8 and 9s grounded

The Chinese making sure their embedded tech is working.

Thanks Obama.
