Faulty software (2 plane crashes after they went into nose dives) and now an emergency exist blew out during take-off.
No, Metal Brain, I didn’t look up how many doors the plane has…
Anyhoo… seemingly there’s been a whole string of 737 problems:
However, since the 737 Max came back into service, there have been a number of high profile problems with the programme, including electrical faults and quality control issues.
Safety campaigners have also expressed concern about the number of reported malfunctions aboard aircraft that have gone into service.
In December, Boeing called on airlines to inspect rudders on their aeroplanes, after a bolt was found to be missing on one aircraft. It said it was acting "out of an abundance of caution".

How come one accident with a Concorde had the whole fleet scrapped? And so many faults with this Boeing and they keep getting sent back up in the air?
I guess it’s all part of the thrill of travelling…

It's a crap shoot when you get on a jet of any kind, passenger, fighter jet, whatever, they ALL can crash. To be fair, the 737's had undergone a real revamping after those two crashed and the newer ones are a lot safer. This latest episode could have been a lot worse for instance if someone had been in that seat next to the emergency exit door that blew. Several hundred of them are now grounded till they see if there are any weaknesses inherent in the design of those emergency exit doors.
Myself, I don't like flying, the whole experience is rattling to me, from the TAKE OFF YOUR SHOES AND BELT bullshyte to waiting in long lines at the airport then getting charged an arm and a leg if you have baggage, the whole thing stinks to me.
They are packed like sardines inside, hundreds of people jammed together.
I once had a flight in a military jet from Thailand and that was the worse flight I ever survived🙂 This was a time when smoking was allowed and EVERYONE on board except me was a smoker. There was so much cigarette smoke the air was literally smoky looking down the isle, and when I activated the overhead air the little jets made a clearly visible shaft of somewhat purer air coming down and I had my neck pinned up to breathe in that little shaft of air. That flight was 24 fukking hours and nobody told those asssholes to put out the smokes.
When I was in the USAF, I took a free jet flight home and I was the only passenger on a C130 cargo jet. So I am in the area with some very hard seats and the heat went out, so they let me complete the flight in the only area with heat, the pilots cab.
What a flight! little or no insulation in the main cabin, it was well below zero there.
Another flight from hell.
@shavixmir saidWell in fact the Concord was a very old bird, and revamping was economically out of any consideration.
