supermike80 1,285 Posted March 11, 2019 Somehow Boeing must have pissed off CNN at some time. Their onslaught against the company after the 2 737 Max accidents sure seems like they have an ax to grind. CNN's headline MAJOR INTERNATIONAL AIRLINES GROUND 737 MAX 8 And when you read the article: Cayman airways Ethiopian Airlines Oh yeah....BIG Players there!

wiffleball 4,639 Posted March 11, 2019 Well, China and Indonesia are grounding all of theirs from all carriers. That's pretty big. Still, statistically, these two wrecks are a blip on the radar screen. Sort of like when I rolled a 37 on roulette. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

titans&bucs&bearsohmy! 2,745 Posted March 14, 2019 It's odd that most of these planes are in service in the US, Canada, Europe, China, etc. Yet the crashes happened in eithiopia and the Caymans. Almost makes you think it might just be a pilot issue or a maintenance issue. I dunno. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
