Boeing door investigation

[John T Smith]

After all the reading I did before deciding to fly to Vegas in March I decided to find out what is happening with the (criminal?) investigation into the door falling off... seems that the Keystone Kops were in charge at Boeing... nobody knows who did what

Boeing says the proper work order may have ever been done... so the work wasn't done
AND Boeing was punished for sharing private information on the door investigation

its crazy, this world we live in today... how many could have died because of the negligence of a greedy corporation. boeing used to be superior in quality, until the engineers who who were at helm of it were chucked, and replaced with accountants who dont know (dont care?) a thing of what goes into building a safe, high quality plane.

Boeing is a hot mess!  They vehemently insisted that Starliner spacecraft was safe.  But the entire project has been mired in multiple delays, helium leaks and un-fixable propulsion & thruster problems.  Amid concerns for the crew's safety, NASA finally decided to bring back Starliner autonomously.  It will undock from ISS on Sept 6.  The stranded 2-person crew will remain on ISS & hitch a ride back on SpaceX Dragon in February — extending their 8-day mission to 8 months.  😝
