#where MD’s lack of culture safety spread to Boeing
Text
If watching dozens, if not hundreds, of videos about plane crashes have taught me anything, it’s that flying isn’t dangerous, it’s capitalism that’s dangerous
#disclaimer that flying is incredibly safe#and mile for mile driving is more dangerous#(and many airlines or plane manufacturers do have culture of safety)#it’d probably be better/more accurate to say profit incentives or smthn like that than ‘capitalism’#as similar things/scenarios obviously happen/happened in non-capitalist countries where the incentives were similar#but in capitalist societies those profit incentives are largely shaped by capitalism.#/the system of capitalism we have#the problem (under the capitalist system of incentives we have) when profit is more important/more considered than safety#in other systems it may be more that say efficiency or productivity is valued higher#but it’s still the same idea that there are other incentives#I’m just thinking about the DC-10 cargo doors thing#like#not only did they have the opportunity to learn from the incident over Windsor Ontario (in which no one died but all could’ve)#they fucking found out during testing#they knew this was a problem#and they did barely anything to fix it#and so you got that Turkish airlines flight#if there’s not a culture of safety—you’re just waiting for disaster#I think part of Boeing’s problem may have come with their acquisition of Mcdonnel Douglass#where MD’s lack of culture safety spread to Boeing#and that’s how you got Max#and it’s just the manufacturers#if the profit motives are right it can cause airlines to skimp on maintenance which—if it causes a crash#will often severely hurt or kill the airline completely on top of the potential for human impact#it’s not just incentives for profit but it’s also incentives for short time thinking
