Another day brings another harrowing tale involving a Boeing aircraft as planes seem to be disintegrating right before our very eyes. The most recent incident occurred early on Friday when a Delta flight bound for Los Angeles was forced to return to JFK Airport after an emergency slide fell off the plane following takeoff! It’s almost impossible to peruse the safety manual in such circumstances as the actual item you would use during emergencies is floating back down towards the ground outside your window. Fortunately, everyone onboard made it safely back to New York thanks partly to crew members reporting a ‘vibration’, which prompted pilots to notice that an emergency chute had detached from the aircraft. An investigation into what went wrong has been launched.
This latest mishap is just one in a series of frightening incidents involving Boeing planes, causing many passengers to feel deeply uneasy about travelling on these jetliners. In recent months alone there have been numerous harrowing occurrences that somehow managed not to result in any fatalities – such as an emergency window malfunction which nearly sucked people out due to poor engineering work within the aircraft itself.
Incredibly, Boeing reported six flight issues over a ten-day period last month. This is precisely what passengers do not want to hear when they are 30,000 feet in the air and entirely at the mercy of mere inches worth of material encased by jet fuel. The FAA’s January audit into Boeing aircraft found that the manufacturer failed dozens of inspections as well as having a staggering ninety-seven incidents of noncompliance during this same period alone!
In short, in light of these facts we urge Boeing to stop risking people’s lives and finally solve this alarming conundrum once and for all. This message rings loud and clear for everyone who boards a plane – please sort out your issues as soon as possible so that our safety is no longer at stake!
