YAHOO!!! TRUMP GROUNDS The Boeing 737 MAX!!! (Bravo Trump!) Black Boxes Sent to France for Analysis! I sent a scathing letter to Trump this morning, telling him he needs to step in, since the FAA has obviously caved.  Maybe he got it?  Or maybe Great Minds think alike.  I don't care which, I am so relieved Trump jumped in and forced this "call".  He did the right thing! YAHOO!!!  TRUMP GROUNDS The Boeing 737 MAX!!!  (Bravo Trump!)  Black Boxes Sent to France for Analysis! God Bless Trump, no more suicide missions BEFORE the plane gets grounded! Trump GROUNDS Boeing 737 Max planes - effective immediately - after U.S. was left as only country in the world still flying them after Ethiopia disaster https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6805505/Trump-grounds-Boeing-737-Max-planes-effectively-immediately-crash.html This is from the Daily Mail article linked above: ....The FAA said almost an hour later in a statement that conflicted with both Trump's and Muilenburg's version of events that it was 'ordering the temporary grounding' of the Boeing Max airplanes.   It said, 'The agency made this decision as a result of the data gathering process and new evidence collected at the site and analyzed today.' The site evidence in coordination with new satellite data available just this morning 'led to the decision,' according to the statement the FAA sent out after Boeing and Trump got in front the announcement. Investigators will continue to review flight data recorders and cockpit data recorders as it assesses the safety of the planes, the FAA asserted. The agency's official order grounding the planes hinted at similarities that 'warrant further investigation of the possibility of a shared cause for the two incidents that needs to be better understood and addressed.'  It further posits that the Max 8 and 9 planes are nearly identical. Accordingly, the FAA said all it was grounding all 737 Max flights until further notice. UPDATE: There is suppose to be a Briefing announcement from the FAA this afternoon, but I haven't been able to locate the speech yet.  I did find this post: FAA Statement on Boeing 737 Max https://www.faa.gov/news/updates/?newsId=93206 Boeing Grounds 737 MAX: Boeing & Airline Statements https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6yWZwcO93t0 JUST IN: Canada grounds Boeing 737 Max too. https://twitter.com/CNN/status/1105867396814987264 FAA too compromised to do the job? France Is Asked to Review Black Boxes From Crash: 737 Max Update https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-03-13/ethiopian-jet-s-black-boxes-will-go-to-europe-737-max-update Why are black boxes being sent to FRANCE???   Answer?   Our FAA is too incompetent and too much of a lapdog, not a watch dog.  FAA defers to Boeing decision on everything, so there really have been zero checks and balances, since Boeing mgmt had FAA "under their thumb".  So now the French Airbus Engineers will take an honest look and examine all the evidence, and no doubt find that the plane also started breaking up in the air, BEFORE it crashed, per multiple eye witness accounts on the ground.  What else could they SEE via Satellite and on the ground that changed everything? If you read the whistle blower comments I suggested, you will see FAA is also at fault. In the last fatal crash, it was determined that the FAA inspectors were too incompetent to be able to test Boeing's planes before the planes were sold. That says a mouthful.  They didn't use those exact words, but that was what was inferred.  FAA inspectors are not as qualified as Boeing Engineers (apparently), so FAA just defers to Boeing for all decisions.  Get it?  That means FAA is useless as a watch dog.  No wonder the rest of the world is completely ignoring FAA's advice, and grounding ALL Boeing 737 Max's period! In the last investigation, they also, of course, faulted the pilots, (pilot error) because the pilots should have known that Boeing had this recurring FATAL PROBLEM of pitot valve error readings AND Fatal Software Problems immediately sending auto pilot into an uncontrollable nose dive! I say IF Boeing had not done such a crappy job with the plane design initially AND if the FAA was halfway competent, this plane would never have been sold to a customer with such serious and fatal design problems! IBM CEO Sheds Political Correctness: Explains The Root Cause of Boeing's Problems, from Experience (Hope Boeing CEO is listening) https://voat.co/v/GreatAwakening/3092773 NO ONE knows FOR SURE what happened to the Indonesian Flight that went down 4 months ago.  The plane was only in the air for 8 minutes, and it was early in the morning and the plane crashed into the ocean.  No one saw it go down.  How do they know that plane wasn't breaking apart in the air too?  The pilots were too busy trying to manually over ride the FLAW in the plane to take a nose dive needlessly (poor engineering).   This time we have multiple eye witnesses who saw this plane go down, people used to seeing and hearing planes taking off over their fields and homes.  They heard the the unusual sounds of groaning metal (structural failure) and they saw items fall from the plane (clothing, papers/letters from the cargo hold, etc.)  They saw smoke (from debris hitting engines). They did not hear an explosion until the plane hit the ground.....and again the plane made a nose dive into the ground as happened in Indonesia, information that would be captured by the black boxes.  Question: Do Black Boxes have sensors to know that the plane is suffering structural failure too??? Given all this evidence, I would say a lot more is going on than just that software glitch!  The plane came apart in the air!  Pilots were too busy trying to keep the nose up in the air to notice anything else that might be going on.  This plane crashed after just 6 minutes in the air, not much time to notice anything but the nose dive crisis at hand. We have Boeing Insiders, Whistleblowers complaining that NONconforming parts were being used in their planes construction.  Nonconforming parts should have been rejected and discarded NOT USED anyway! Can nonconforming parts used to build the structure of plane cause it to break apart under stress?  You bet! Whistle blowers also noted 25% of the oxygen masks were tested and found BROKEN.  They too should have been rejected and discarded.  But what happened?  They were installed even though they were known to be broken....into Boeing 787 Dreamliners!  So that means, 25% of the passengers in an emergency where Oxygen masks are needed, will die because their oxygen mask did not work!  Boeing management knew about it and did nothing.  FAA was notified. Did the FAA do any independent testing on the planes known to have defective oxygen masks?  No.  They just took the word of Boeing management that these Whistle Blowers are all crazy and should be disregarded. Its the "tone at the top" that drives a company to produce EXCELLENCE and PERFECTION or shoddy work.  And to keep these planes flying after TWO fatal crashes, is unconscionable.  The Boeing CEO needs to be fired!
