   Lmao this shit show keeps getting worse, dude dug his own grave, reburied it while inside the coffin, all before Poseidon could send him to the salty depths.
   
   This entire, entirely avoidable disaster, is the epitome of boomer corner cutting taken to a lethal extreme.

     @Shadowman311 Supposedly he told that journo “Yeah, we get a great deal on our CF because it’s outside the ‘use by’ date for aeronautical use” and they said “wait, isn’t this WAY more demanding?” and he said “ah, the dates don’t matter, Boeing is conservative”

     Notable that boeing washed their hands of it, and I don’t buy the idea he bought it from them. Given the frequency of dreamliner screw-ups, I don’t find it too farfetched for him to have purchased some CF from a subcontractor and name-dropped the big guys for the cachet. Boeing doesn’t mess with shit from no-name backyard tinkerers, their sales agents barely care to answer the phone for a single narrowbody order.

     @James10550088 @Amalek_Respector @Shadowman311 honestly this, plus this Stockton guy is really the epitome of everything wrong with the modern retard techbro shit.
     
     "I've got technology so don't need to heed the lessons of those old white farts from the past, lets make a plastic sub with sharp edges, controlled by a wireless controller because why not add extra points of failure just to avoid one fucking wire, I don't want no stupid status checks just have that shit in the background, providing the user with feedback is nerd shit"

     @Shadowman311 I do think some people are weirdly obsessed with this thing for the wrong reasons, if you’re using this as a way to argue why high skilled whites are still needed in the labour force and need to be respected; that’s a good narrative to push. But i don’t get the narrative of just shitting on them for being rich and successful, i have no doubt their wealth wasn’t earned honestly and was likely obtained with anti-white means, but i don’t see enough people honing in on that and just enjoying their deaths over lots of resentment built over several years (which is fine, every human being acts this way so it’s not that shocking)

     @Amalek_Respector @Shadowman311 Personally, I really enjoy analyzing engineering mishaps and this one is phenomenally dumb at pretty much every level.

     @rlier23 @Amalek_Respector @Shadowman311 The only passenger I feel bad for is the teenager, he was the only one who shouldn’t have been experienced enough to see a retarded system when he saw it.

     The rest of them, though? They should have seen it coming to some extent. Take a welder, a farmer, any man who worked with his hands and show him that dinky retard sub and he’d laugh in your face. He’s got experience with force, he’s got vague memories of what was required of deep sea exploration over the last century, he can extrapolate the essential idea: You don’t know what you’re doing.

     The fact all those wealthy guys hopped right on means they lived a life divorced from reality, they’ve spent their lives inside a bubble of veal-life. Soft, safe, and low-stakes. And those veal deer decided they had a right to prance in some of the world’s most unforgiving terrain.
