  • To everyone saying it is not an Boeing issue:

    We simply don’t know that,yet. It could be a maintenance issue with whoever Southwest contracted. From someone fucking up closing the engine cover properly to the use of counterfeit parts (actually a larger issue than most people know - it has brought down airliners in the past).

    It also could be an issue with actual Boeing certified spare parts or maintenance protocols- Something breakers earlier than expected,some spare parts are not as good as expected, the procedure is overly complicated,etc.

    And of course it still could be an issue with actual Boeing works - something is built badly and now, after thousands of hours finally kicks the bucket - there have been cases where repairs brought down airliners decades after them being down (badly),the same is absolutely possible for engineering or assembly mishaps. If that is the case Boeing would be really fucked.

    Anyways: There is a reason NTSB reports take months to years until they are finished. It is ridiculous how many people “know” what the reason for this was.


  • Utter garbage. Period.

    I travel around 60k km per year, a fair share of it by train and have travelled about two thirds of the European countries by train.

    And I have the luxury to use the Austrian, Swiss, French, Italian systems on a monthly basis - each of them is far far better.

    Trains are the superior travel system. And if you are lucky you have an urban train system that works decently. But both long range as well as freight are a dumpster fire.






  • Dude. I just pointed out that these guys are a lesser known part of the conflict that also deserves some attention. That doesn’t change anything about the situation of Palestinians at all.

    But unlike ideological keyboard warriors like you I do actual aid work (and have done so in Palestina) - and, as basically anyone doing so, have experienced the multiple layers the conflict has.

    What you are doing is not helping Palestina one single bit. It does nothing besides turning people away from the Palestinian cause and from Palestinian victims. So either you are a very good Israeli shill or a very bad one for the Palestinian cause.


  • Yeah, came here to ask that,too.

    They are literally the poorest souls in that shitshow (and that does not mean any hostage deserved it, it’s just a race to the bottom)- some underpaid farm hands, just trying to help their families get by, citiziens of a country which has little chance to pressure Hamas much while their death would mean a massive blow to israels economy (because it would lead to most Thais leaving very likely) and a small victory for the Hamas as the Thais are not well viewed upon by Palestinians as the jobs they now have had been done by them. From their point of view, Israel would have been unable to make obtaining work permits for Palestinians so much harder without the Thais willing to do the jobs.
