Appeal # 5.
US Congress, Department of Transportation, Federal Aviation Administration, International Air Transportation Association, Boeing –
What are you waiting for to do what’s right?
– Scrap all the Boeing 737 Max and 787 Dreamliner airplanes before more people die in these ticking time-bombs in the air.
The plane’s black-box shows that the pilots saw fuel supply shut down. Both experienced pilots, young and happy, did not cause the shutdown. One engine tried to resend fuel multiple times and the engine did not restart.
Scrap the airplanes based on the troublesome defect-laden manufacturing process?
What will it take for you to do what’s right?
How many more have to die?

Headline: “Why did he cut off?”: What the report on the Air India Flight 171 crash found
