CNBC News Segment Video (NYT Mag reporter on Boeing Max: Accidents caused by crews in both cases): September 20, 2019
William Langewiesche, The New York Times Magazine reporter, joins CNBC's "Closing Bell" to discuss his story in the magazine, "What really brought down the Boeing 737 Max?" (www.cnbc.com) المزيد...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
As a retired federal aircraft mechanic (C5-A/B, B-52 , C-130) I read that the author has flown some planes in the past. Don't know the type or years of experience. He has his opinion and since the investigation is only partially complete His opinion may differ greatly from yours. Let's keep POLITICS out of this. Political differences will solve NO problems brought up in these reviews.

Do some homework and tell us how many Langewiesche's there are that are AV writers, let alone author of a book and title that still rings with the old crowd. Did you get the part about lift, weight, thrust and drag yet!
Does this non qualified author have certifiable proof that the trim wheel was in fact “running away”? The trim wheel moves for all normal operations also so there would be no need or reason to use the cutout switches especially since Boeing did not put the band aid system it designed that never should have happened to overcome a center of gravity issue from Boeing stretching the airplane too far instead of starting all over with a blank slate and a new model. This MCAS band aid fix was NEVER put in the flight manual or disclosed to the pilots! Also, the creed of aviation and aerospace is redundancy and this after thought fix had only one source and it failed and gave bad info to the airplane and its pilots. This was a design flaw and a systemic strategy error by Boeing and it will cost them over 20 Billion in the end. A brand new model should have been designed instead of trying to make too many derivations of a 40 year old airplane and creating geometry issues by stretching it too far and then having to make band aid fixes to overcome this issue and the larger more powerful engines.
