They do have them. It only takes a hand held electronic device, and a minute at most to test and determine the alloy composition of metal. We use them all of the time in industrial construction and maintenance. The idea that this happened and no one knew about it is laughable. They don't want us flying. That explains a lot.
You do not get to outsource suppliers to save money and then blame those suppliers when you have issues. The vendor/builder/prime owns the product and is ultimately responsible.
Imagine if this was to happen to a Chinese company, d amount of condemnation n ridicule from d Western media would be unimaginable. Such is d double standard of d West.
Welcome to America, land of the free!!! Except freedom applies only to the fascist U$ govt and corporations....they are free to do whatever they want. Ordinary Americans are just collateral damages.
US government on Tik-Tok: "Must ban immediately. Threat to national security!" US government on Boeing: "Meh, we get there when we get there. It's just people traveling in these flying machines that might fail"
US government on DJI: "Boeing messed up, but look... we're gonna ban Chinese drones for national security!" US first responders and aerial photographers: "Wtf...? Don't throw us under the bus."
Boeing actuaries calculated that it will be cheaper to pay out the lawsuits and penalties for accidents than it is to recall, disassemble and replace the counterfeit parts. It's just business.
@@KOZMOuvBORG Oh look at that, corruption and moral bankrupt behavior is a standardized practice for the monopoly’s behind the scenes, I’m sure that’ll turn out well.
there will be 0 consequences from all of this, the FAA and Boeing will 'investigate' and wait until all the incidents fade into the backround, and then it is back to business
Don't forget that aircraft landing gears require mostly titanium components and the US banned the import of that metal from one of the world's biggest producer....Russia!
RIP engineering. The SR71 was built when there was no computers around and now with all the technology at our disposal we can't tell if we are using the right alloys for critical components.
I did some further digging. Cheaper titanium was being sold to one of Boeing's suppliers (as well as many other suppliers) as a counterfeit of the more premium/trusted Chinese supplier Baoji Titanium. This, of course, brings with it a lot of QA concerns.
Could it be that the titanium is real but that it has come from a frowned-upon-by-Washington country with documents saying it came from somewhere else?
@@OutOfNamesToChoose Baoji Titanium later confirmed that it had not supplied the titanium. The origin of the titanium remains unclear. “Baoji Titanium doesn’t know about the company and has no business dealing with this company,” the firm said in a statement to The New York Times.
@@OutOfNamesToChoose Yes, you had to bring China in it. Whats the matter with you? Boeing gets most of its titanium from Canadian companies...dah! I guess your house is dirty and that is because of China! China haters are all over America.
majority of the titanium are produced in Russia. if you sanction Russia after Crimea, of course you have to get sussy titanium... also the Max that fell was operated by Indonesian, not Malaysian, and they could have saved the 2nd plane if they were more honest about the issue.
Cost-Cutting in all manufacturing industry is now a common standard across the board! If Quality becomes in conflict with production process, convenience of meeting production target comes first! Its all about the money!💰
love it. nurse in Medford Oregon was switching tap water with fentanyl i was in the hospital while she was working.. Boing swapping metals. love it .i flew on that plane type. starting to feel nervous.
@@tripplefives1402But brand new Tesla steering wheel came out during driving, yap it’s not falling apart but ‘hand out a part’ only. At least, Tesla admitted about their failure which is better than Boeing.
@@wsi1917 Never heard of that one, just that the little plastic cover on the accelerator and brake pedals was coming unglued and getting stuck behind the dash. That and self driving not being perfect. But that's nothing compared to your average new car troubles. New Mercedes for example can't make it 3 months without breaking down.
This is all deliberate. If it weren't, you would not be hearing about it. Notice that all of these many different issues coincide with the push to get everyone to stop traveling as much. It's not a coincidence people. They are trying, and doing a great job might I add, to dissuade us from flying. I don't know about you, but it's working great for me !
1. I am expecting this to be pinned on China... somehow. 2. It appears that Regulations and the strict following of said regulations is actually necessary and very important, who would have thought?
The part of the issue that might have contributed here was... Boeing was using lots of Russian Titanium and Titanium parts machined in Russia. Which became more problematic after 2022.
"Thank you for flying Sothwest Airlines. We will be departing the gate at 10:15 am. We will fly at 32,000 ft with clear weather and damned sure hoping that our wings and engines do not make their own departure before our arrival"
You say fly Airbus, but the report you read also said that the A220 is effected by the same issue with Spirit Aero systems (previously apart of Boeing)
2019 to 2023... it just mean the company don't careless about the safety of their plane. after 2 crashes and lots of investigation. nothing have changed.
The U.S. aerospace company Boeing, Airbus's chief rival, pursued a starkly different track in 2022 when it announced it would stop buying Russian titanium, ending a decades-long relationship with VSMPO and derailing a multimillion-dollar joint venture that had been announced just months before.
Boeing manager: new titanium supplier is only priced 20% of existing suppliers, sounds too good to bd trud Boeing bosses: sounds good install them, more profit for us
Its more likley grade of Titanium, not "fake". Metalurgy is complex, but there are testing standards in machine industry. Every lot is and must be tested.
Titanium has some very different physical properties. It might not even be "strength" that is the problem. There was a "Forge in Fire" episode that made them create weapons from titanium. It's a good watch to see how weird it is compared to steel.
