Brook Brook 50 people were hurt on that commercial flight heading to Auckland earlier this morning.
a spokesman told the 23450e68d, dream liner suffered what is being called a technical issue mid-flight causing a strong movement.
most passengers suffering minor injuries with one person in serious condition. the flight was headed to Santiago Chele from Sydney Australia and it was diverted back to Auckland, New Zealand.
it normally stops and lands without incident. this is just the latest in a series of technical and mechanical mishaps on boring aircraft.
including a tire following off a flight during takeoff and a plane that went off the runway in Houston just last week.
on top of heavy scrutiny for issues with quality control, Boeing is also under a new criminal investigation related to the incident where the door plug on a commercial jet
operated by Alaska Airlines blew off mid-flight. this was not the only issue with a Boeing jet today.
United Airlines flight going from Sydney to San Francisco diverted back to Australia after another mid-air emergency on a Boeing 777.
mechanical issue being blamed for diverting that flight back to Sydney airport. no injuries were reported as the plane landed there safely.
but, no word on either of today’s incidents yet from being. and the cause of both of those issues is under investigation.

>> Will: let’s bring in former FAA head Billie Nolan no context. I neither wanted to be ghiivelg nor hyperventilate about all these airline troubles.
I would love to ask you this. every summer we do stories on shark attacks and every summer we remember shark attacks aren’t actually on the rise.
but they are not something that we should be dismissive of, how seriously should we take the mounting number of stories we hear from trouble in the skies?
you look at a whiteboard and there is nothing on it and put one dot and two dots on and you are drawn to that, right?
I can say categorically that globally aviation, commercial aviation is as safe as it has ever been and certainly the safest any time you see an uptick incident it’s an opportunity for us as
stakeholders within the global arrow pace system to say what’s going on?
look at that via safety management systems as we think of these investigations. if you look at these latest 3, 4, and 5 incidents, none of them appear to be related.
with you, still, you do a deep dive into that I expect that from being. you will certainly see from the FAA. and also see from the National Transportation Safety Board.
as we learn more and get to the bottom of these investigations, it’s time to ask ourselves if is there anything that we should be doing differently either as an airline or as an OEM or from the f.a.a.’s perspective.
lawrence: Billy, I take Will’s point. And probably true Pete Buttigieg said the same thing on our channel planes from the safest means of transportation.
I get that as someone who is on a plane pretty much every other day, it seems like I’m hearing more and more stories about these crashes. help put our minds at ease.
I know the numbers are the numbers. why are we hearing it more often now?
now, there haven’t been any crashes per se we have had some incidents, runway excursions where the United plane is off of the runway this one seems pretty horrifying at the moment
when you experience that kind of a drop and talked about as a technical issue. the beauty of how far we have advanced is that you have got great systems on board that can record all kinds of data.
this is an opportunity for both LA TAN and the regulatory agency to say what happened here?
at a micro level, it’s always a good opportunity to say as we have said we are in one of the safest periods in the history of flying.
Brian:
that’s true but boring has got huge problems when they lose the paperwork with those plugs and those doors, and they just say yeah, we don’t know where it is, and then we find
out more things are going wrong, people get a little upset by the lack of accountability.
what I would expect from Boeing and I think you heard it from Secretary Pete Buttigieg and also heard it from Administrator Whitaker, right?
the expectation is that Being continues and look through the lens of its safety management system and ensure hey, what are we seeing?
safety and quality are what I think of as the social license to operate, right?
so my expectation is that bowing will get to the bottom of what they need to do to fix the quality pieces.
