Chai but that crash touch me o

It made me rethink about life
Maybe because Iv boarded Ethiopian airline sometime last year
May the souls of the lost dear ones rest in perfect peace amen�

I boarded Ethiopian Airline in 2017 with her beautiful air-hostess...I remember asking God for mercy all through the turbulence till we landed.God! how i hate to fly.

Other better country dey talk, Nigeria sef dey put mouth
The planes we have are even worse than Boeing planes. Mumu

just becos Nigeria is almost not functioning well, does not mean the people should be use as Guinea pigs for a faulty airline that need to be investigated..if you think less of yourself as a human being then you can board the airline with your family in it alone but Nigerians are humans beings and we also feel pain when we lost love ones to plane crash..Dana air line crash is still fresh in our memories..we are human beings and we deserve to know what is safe for us or not.Thank you.

Of course, we are not that sophisticated to buy new planes....

Ignorance is a disease Boeing is the company manufacturing airbus

You are the irreparably-ill ignorant fool.

Boeing merged with another American brand - McDonells Douglas and Embraer..

Airbus is purely European owned by EADS and they have no shared parent with Boeing.

But you are really stupid o.
A really big fool. Calling me ignorant when you are actually the misinformed dunce

Its obvious you don't fly regularly......

Airbus isn't German but pan European company headquartered in france

Anything European company, you should know that Germany should be the mastermind of such project, check the major share holders in Air Bus.

Air bus major parts is built in Germany and USA.

TheBoy1740:
If the Ethiopian Airways crash is similar to that of Lion Air (both of which were 737 max 8 planes) then it's more of a pilot error than the plane's. You see, Boeing installed a new security system that some of these pilots failed to learn, it's called MCAS. It was responsible for the Lion Air crash, all the pilots had to do to avoid the crash was to push two switches.

If it's the case for Ethiopian Airways, then it'll be cheaper to educate pilots on the new systems, especially the ones that have the "I've been flying 737s for years" attitude.

But if there's another fault, especially one that can be traced to all other 737 max 8s, then instant grounding is the right choice.

This is the reason why countries like USA and Canada have not grounded the plane yet.

Pilots don't just jump in a new plane and fly. This is not a car.. There's so much damage control reports out there now, trying to shift the blame from Boeing to the pilot. How can a new feature in a new plane be excluded from the flight manual? Is it the pilots fault that such critical information is not included in the flight manual? It's like a car manual failing to indicate that this car requires a specific type of gear oil. Will an engine knock be the drivers fault?
If it was an American plane will they even dare to blame the pilots?

smh....its a merger of many European aero manufacturing companies

With the ongoing "trade/tech war" between China and the US, I'm honestly not surprised.

that could be a contributing factor,but i'm pretty sure the max 8 is flawed,two major accidents in 5 months involving a plane this new,this odds don't just happen.

This is what is called "Cover Your Behind".

They are trying to shift the blame to those poor pilots. They know that they are going to be sued millions of dollars by all those people who have been affected by this avoidable tragedy.

Either way, Boeing is in hot soup.

Boeing Is Going To Update The Control Software On The 737 Max - After 2 Crashes Since October.

You see, Boeing installed a new security system that some of these pilots failed to learn, it's called MCAS. It is currently the most probable cause of the Lion Air crash, and if confirmed to be true, it'll mean all the pilots had to do to avoid the crash was to push two switches.

This is the reason why countries like USA and Canada have not grounded the plane yet.

In the Lion Air crash the pilots kept trying to pull the plane’s nose back up while the MCAS system kept pushing it down. At the end of the day automated system eventually won leading to the tragic crash. But could this be the same reason why the Eithopian Airline crashed? Was the AOA-sensing system that triggers the MCAS flawed or broken? Or could this be something that had nothing to do with this model of airplane, or these new automated systems?

I think it's too early for anyone to know that yet.

Pilots did not fail to learn it biko, it was not in the flying manual and Boeing never made mention of the upgrade. Pilots say they are not aware of any upgrade.

LaIabobo:
Airbus is the real deal.

Boeing is just a regular overhyped American shii.

Or just maybe, just maybe the pilots need to figure their shit out. Almost no crashes amongst large airlines are due to a faulty plane, it’s mostly pilot error

omoharry:
just becos Nigeria is almost not functioning well, does not mean the people should be use as Guinea pigs for a faulty airline that need to be investigated..if you think less of yourself as a human being then you can board the airline with your family in it alone but Nigerians are humans beings and we also feel pain when we lost love ones to plane crash..Dana air line crash is still fresh in our memories..we are human beings and we deserve to know what is safe for us or not.Thank you.

First of all, your argument would have be reasonable if you were not arguing from a standpoint of being a Nigerian, Nigerians for decades have been treated like Guinea pigs by our leaders and the citizens do nothing about it, nothing is wrong with the airplane, the pilot simply lost control of the plane and should have turned back to the airport it took off which is just 6mins away. If something major is actually wrong with the planes, America would be the first nation to ban and sanction the plane manufacturer, but they are in business currently in America unrestricted!When they buy planes as old as una grandfather in Nigeria what do you people say or do about it? Nothing! Imagine a plane's engine going out while its flying as the case of Dana! Anyways, My comment was not intended to demean the people of Nigeria, it's a mockery of people at helms of affairs in the country.

mofedamijo:

Its obvious you don't fly regularly......

Lol, I don't need to fly oga, the crashes we've had in Nigeria and their causes is enough to tell you what's in play in the Nigeria airline sector. Abi you don forget, how Dana airplane's shaky door fell off while landing in Abuja or wherever it landed just this past year, that one na plane?
Do I need to fly before I know what's going on Common airline, the useless country cannot run, dem dey comission pictures! Mumu country! Or maybe I didn't get what your response actually meant sha
