A sleep-deprived new father of twins and his co-pilot are accused allowing their airliner with 159 people on board to veer off course after they both fell asleep for nearly 30 minutes in the cockpit midair, officials in Indonesia said.

PBS Newshour Report

Boeing remains on the hot seat over questions about its production processes. The head of the National Transportation Safety Board told lawmakers her investigators still don’t know who worked on the door panel that blew out of an Alaska Airlines flight. Meanwhile, NYT reported Boeing and a key supplier failed a number of audits. Aviation correspondent Miles O’Brien spoke on what went wrong.

as long as humans or human programed AI or even AI programed AI that originally came from humans are around, bad things will happen.

and even far in the future when AI is probably all that is around things will happen just because nothing and no intelligence is ever perfect; and as the old saying goes
*hit happens

so its up to everyone to chose to take the risk or not

? Didn't watch all of them, but they all seem like human error issues.

And what was I talking about? Human weaknesses and problems will be a fact for a very long time
The ones wanting more things controlled by computers are going to be disapointed

Boeing faces new FAA probe over 787 Dreamliner inspections, falsified records

https://www.france24.com/en/america...-787-dreamliner-inspections-falsified-records

"The FAA is investigating whether Boeing completed the inspections and whether company employees may have falsified aircraft records," the agency said. "At the same time, Boeing is reinspecting all 787 airplanes still within the production system and must also create a plan to address the in-service fleet."

The issue surfaced after a Boeing employee observed an "irregularity" and raised the issue with a supervisor who elevated it further.

"We quickly reviewed the matter and learned that several people had been violating company policies by not performing a required test, but recording the work as having been completed," Scott Stocker, head of the Boeing 787 program, said in an email to staff.

"We promptly informed our regulator about what we learned and are taking swift and serious corrective action with multiple teammates," said Stocker, adding that engineering staff determined that the issues does not pose an immediate safety of flight risk.

Always seeing folks write about conspiracy theories here. Surprised no one has brought up that the two whistleblowers against Boeing have both suddenly died.

And yet the fact remains that one has a higher odds of dying in a car on the way to the airport than in a plane crash......
