The accident of this Boeing plane is really terrifying. I remember that on May 9, a Boeing 737-300 plane at Senegalese Capital Airport rushed out of the runway like a wild horse as soon as it took off.
78 passengers and crew, the mood at that moment is estimated to be more exciting than a roller coaster. Fortunately, the captain was calm enough to evacuate urgently, and although 11 people were injured, a greater tragedy was finally avoided.
However, this is not the first time that the Boeing 737-300 has had problems. In the 24 years from 1990 to 2014, it caused 20 major accidents and lost 714 lives.
It's scary to think about it, this safety record is simply not flattering. Especially in the 1992 Guilin air disaster, 141 people were killed, it was our own family's business, and the heartache at that time is still fresh in my memory.
Let's talk about the same day on May 9, the Boeing 737-800 in Antalya Province, Turkey, landed with a flat tire and a deformed landing gear. Although there were no fatalities this time, the problem of the landing gear has raised a big question mark about Boeing's safety.
Moreover, this 737-800 is not a fuel-efficient lamp, from 2006 to 2016, 11 major accidents in 10 years, hundreds of people died. In the Ethiopian Airlines case in 2010, 83 people were killed, and in the Air India case in the same year, 158 people were killed, this number makes people's hearts hairy.
As for the Boeing 787-9, on March 12, 2024, on the way from Australia to New Zealand, it suddenly made a sharp landing, injuring more than 50 passengers. As soon as this incident came out, the newspapers in New Zealand said that it was a "technical" problem, but Boeing did not give a clear explanation.
Seriously, Boeing's series of accidents really makes people have to think about it. Airplanes, that is a matter of human life, how can safety be sloppy? Look at these data, these accidents, which is not shocking? Which one doesn't make people feel uneasy?
Aviation safety is a big global issue, and it concerns everyone's life. No matter which country's aircraft, no matter which company's aircraft, safety always comes first.
This is a concern for every country, every airline, every aircraft manufacturer, and even every passenger. Boeing, as a giant in the global aviation industry, should shoulder this responsibility.
If there is a problem, we must face it squarely and solve it. You can't just think about profit and ignore security. After all, safety is the most basic need for passengers. Without security, everything else is empty talk.
