#2The plane seems like the pinto of planes, by the time Boeing works it all out they will have lost all trust.

s/Pinto/Corvair/ Ralph Nader, who has a horse in this race, should write a new book Unsafe at Any Altitude.

#5How is it even still legal to operate 737 Max after all its failures? Is Boeing lobbying or something?

#7Accounts on twitter claiming to have been on the airplane recounted that the aircraft went off the runway first, and that the gear failure, if there was one, happened after the plane left the runway.
"737 Max suffers landing gear failure" is a sexy headline but it may be prudent to wait for a bit more information before jumping to too many conclusions - just because Boeing is fresh in everyone's minds. Wild speculation is inevitable under present circumstances but it doesn't necessarily need to happen here.
Not that Twitter is a great source of reliable information, but, well, nowhere else is either when it comes to something that happened like 2 hours ago.

#8> Video footage captured the moment when the tire from the Boeing 777-200 came off the rear landing gear seconds after the plane took off.
> Records show the plane was delivered from Boeing to United 22 years ago.
This is a 20-year old 777, not a 737 MAX. Where did the title change come from?

#9Why not spinoff the maintenance and responsibility of 737 MAX to Foeing and keep the profitable ones on Boeing?
Management is being reckless with shareholder value by not doing that.

I think this is a separate incident, also from this week. Gonna need an app to keep up with this company.
