Boeing Plane Accident Yet Again

In the article Boeing tells pilots to check seats after Latam plane incident, it has been revealed that this week, another Boeing plane issue has arised. The 787 Dreamliner plane suddenly dropped on a Latam Airlines flight, causing 50 people to be hurt. The incident occurred after a flight attendant accidentally hit a button on the pilots seat that caused him to hit controls and soon send the plane’s nose down. Passengers were thrown against the roof of the plane, causing people to think that this could’ve been the end of their lives. Latam has been investigating ever since this accident and has concluded that pilots have to check their seats before take off.

Latam says the incident involved a Boeing 787 Dreamliner

One can assume that this in fact will have an impact on the international business industry, especially since this is our way of getting to places all over the world. Less and less people are more likely to not want to fly after seeing these failures time and time again, causing sales and profits to drop. Boeing is a main supplier for airline companies so it could be possible that companies won’t trust Boeing as much anymore due to wanting their customers to be safe, not to mention also wanting their money to go to good spending.

The affect of this drop will most definitely have an impact on not only the business world, but average consumers. Just a couple months ago, I wrote my last blog on Boeing as well and how they weren’t having a good start to their year, and now I am back writing about them. I wish this wasn’t the case and now that makes me more worried about our safety if just a simple accident can send a plane down, causing passengers to receive major head injuries. Taken that this was an accident on a flight attendant’s part, the plane itself doesn’t take full blame, but at this rate what else are we to assume with everything that has been going on with Boeing? Overall, I do hope that Boeing steps it up soon and figures out what they are doing wrong and how to fix it. I hope that all passengers are safe and healthy now, and I truly hope I won’t have to be writing about this company again.

    I think it’s really interesting that Boeing has been having a tough year of accidents. They were really respected before this, but I agree that all these events happening in a short amount of time must have a serious impact on international business affairs.

      It’s definitely interesting to see how many mishaps have been happening to Boeing recently. I also like the way you described the article. This is making me a little worried about air travel from now on. With the examples of accidents of different kinds, what is to say that I am safe flying on a plane again?
