Door blows out during ground test on Boeing 777X jet

This is how "diversity" ends up fucking you.

Structural test failures are very common. The A380 had its shares of them.

Yet this will give a bad image of Boeing in the general public's eyes considering all the problems they are having with the B737MAX they did not need this.

Better it happens now though than later when the aircraft has entered commercial passenger service.

Many will lose their jobs on this one.

JC everyone

the door didnt blow off a seal blew out, and for your information the body is made out of aluminum the same as the old model. the wings are the only section that is carbon fiber.

nobody is going to lose there jobs over this one, ask me how I know OH I work here.

this 777x was the fatigue model also, the very first model that will ever fly, it was built to be destroyed.

When you look at the amount invested to return money and energy wise peak oil already happened.

Hell if it wasn't for ripping off investors and going bankrupt on debt the US oil companies would have called it quits years ago.

This is exactly what got McDonnell Douglas bought out...cept they never fixed the problem and crashed a few planes. One even sucked out a row of passengers before it crashed. I would guess Boing Boing will try to ignore it too and roll the dice. Fixing problems is expensive.

People who live couped up in cities cannot fathom how much volume and hence, how many resources this fucking planet has. If you don't know it's a mind boggling amount.

Excellent.

I inaugurated both 787-8 and 787-9 with the respective inaugural airlines.

I was in Seattle for the remittance of the first 787 to Japanese carrier ANA. I still have my "We Fly First" delivery scarf. A treasure.

Bad karma for Boeing... or is it bad luck?

Door blows out during ground test on Boeing 777X jet

Boeing’s new widebody jet, the 777X, suffered a setback Thursday afternoon during a high-pressure stress test on the ground when one of the airplane’s cargo doors exploded outward.

One 777X employee working in a nearby bay at Boeing’s Everett plant said he heard “a loud boom and the ground shook.”

The accident happened to what’s called the “static test airplane,” one of the two airplanes in any new jet program that are built for ground testing only and will never fly. It was during the final test that must be passed as part of the airplane’s certification by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).

The failure of the door will require careful analysis to find out why it happened, and it may mean Boeing will have to replace the door and repeat the test.

Stress testing and pressure testing.

This is supposed to be the new Boeing lightweight all carbon fiber miracle long haul jet.

Can you imagine?

I am not denying your writing but... have you got a link on this with details from the constructor?

Thx.

Manufacturing in liberal shit hole cities is no different than manufacturing in China

Maybe Boeing should have hired people who go poo in the loo.

This is how "diversity" ends up fucking you.

Do they weld it?

Just keep your seatbelt on you pussy.

Omg!
Engineers are sabotaging boeing!
Carbon fiber is stronger than steel!
