@cottoncandiez8872 nuclear is cleaner than green energies? Sure, apart from all the nuclear waste and the nuclear reactor that has to be stored for thousands of years at the end of it's lifetime, apart from the significant costs the complex construction and engineering has, apart from all that

@qdaniele97 what’s even worse was not only was there no checks or redundancy but there were absolutely no checks and balances to the nose down input overrides MCAS was giving the plane. It didn’t take into account airspeed, altitude, rate of descent, contradictory pilot inputs or the number of times the MCAS system had overridden pilot inputs. It took absolutely no account of what the plane was doing, where it was and what the pilots were trying to do. It was the most stupid and dangerous piece of software ever to be put into an aeroplane, and it came about because Boeing sacked their avionics software engineers with over 30 years existence and outsourced all their software to an Indian offshore IT company with no experience in aerospace software engineering at all

@kirilmihaylov1934 that’s exactly true, what on earth makes you deny the truth? 😂

After that crap day at work i don't blame them, don't see any managers or owners there helping

@TheFagerlund you're assuming that everything we have now will remain in place for thousands of years. That's very unlikely

mcas should have been implemented with checks and balances such as: Monitoring altitude, rate of descent, and airspeed for deviations from expected values. Verifying pilot inputs align with safe parameters. Predicting flight paths to detect deviations from the intended profile. Comparing parameters to established limits. Setting autonomous behavior limits to prevent excessive interventions. Providing clear indications of system activity to pilots.

@KDill29 how do you look for something you have no idea it exists? Who is about to trawl the Canadian wilderness with a geiger counter just on the off chance there was a nuclear disaster there in the past they'd never heard of

@tankart3645 tried to sell a submarine to escobar

@rybaluc owners and managers are the ones responsible for the poor decision making that led to this disaster in the first place, but never take any of the responsibility and certainly don’t come anywhere near the place when there’s a radiation leak
3
@ImBarryScottCSS sure sure, let's keep the design simple by passing the complexity onto the operators, what could possibly go wrong. Ever heard of failsafe?
3
@fatdad64able there is no long term solution to nuclear waste, other than storing it for thousands of years.

@mojoblues66 don't lick your fingers after handling it or breathe too deeply up close
3
@TymexComputing unlike the U.K. where there are still 100s of residential buildings with the same cladding on and tenants are being told they need to pay £50k each to have it removed
3
@qzh00k you've obviously never been to any scrap metal or junk yards, I can assure you they don't all have radiation detectors at all and if they do they don't always use them

@tankart3645 if you were that desperate for food you’d just steal it. What’s the point in stealing radioactivity waste to sell for money to buy food when you could just steal the food?

People die in crowd crushes in the state of the art stadiums in the states? I’ve never heard of that before

@djpalindrome bingo. This exactly

Where’s it from

My take is that mcas should have been implemented with checks and balances such as: Monitoring altitude, rate of descent, and airspeed for deviations from expected values.

@tankart3645 if there was no food in the grocery stores what were they hoping to do, eat the radioactive waste?
1
@tankart3645 if you’re starving and need food you steal food. They didn’t need food, they were just some dumb grifters looking for a quick buck. Probably knew it was supposed to be dangerous but like a lot of people on the Internet these days, thought they knew better

@DeltaAssaultGaming they couldn’t make it fly by wire. The whole point of Mcas was to replicate the flying of traditional 737s by taking into account the difference in handling the bigger engines meant so they didn’t have to retrain pilots. If they’d made it fly by wire, it would have meant retraining pilots and this is the number one thing Boeing wanted to avoid. The seconds thing they wanted to avoid was paying Market rates for avionics software engineers, and when you pay peanuts you get monkeys

@NHarmonik too late

Have you done anything on all the lost nukes/ broken arrows the US has accidentally dropped? Or the red balloons in west Germany that almost caused ww3?

Sounds like every tv reality series ever

Given the preponderance of American rockets to blow up while launching I’m not looking forward to the day when the us starts strapping nuclear reactors on top of missiles
1
@Drizzit57 2 out of 4 blew up after rich it was scrapped, and the inbuilt rockets weren’t really reusable without massive refurbishment which resulted in a complete rebuild. It cost far more than the Russian program on which the USA relied for over 20 years after the space shuttle was cancelled.

@mlwakat Good job you weren't standing in front of them at the time

@ConstantlyDamaged an Aussie that drinks Earl grey 😂 what kind of okker are you? Drink ax real brew
1
@ConstantlyDamaged ha ha i wasn't talking about Victoria Bitter or other beer, I was talking about tetleys or Yorkshire tea or even pg tips, or assam. Earl grey is weak as piss and what middle class grandmothers drink with cake and cucumber sandwiches for afternoon tea 😂
1
@ConstantlyDamaged lol you're an aussie and are trying to teach me about tea? Never mind palettes, from a nation that thinks VB is bitter and new tooheys is even drinkable. You don't sound like a proper true dingle dell okker aussie to me mate
1
@ConstantlyDamaged good job, art is another thing Australians don't know much about, unless you're a native. Interestingly the auto correct spell checker was invented by an aussie

Estonians weren't blessed with much upstairs were they?

@zawwin1846 yeah, it’s fine to feed cows meat 🤨
1
Well the British government, regulators and farmers thought it was a great idea to feed them cows and sheeps brains, what could possibly go wrong?

@AndrewFremantle exactly

@MadScientist267 Epstein and the Lolita express was a conspiracy theory. The lab in wuhan was a conspiracy theory. JFK being assassinated by someone other than Lee Harvey Oswald acting on his own is a conspiracy theory

Pretty sure these reactors were designed to produce uranium that could be enriched to weapons grade

@MrSunrise- depends what istope it is

@jackfanning7952 well said

@missano3856 how much do you know about uranium mining? Or about depleted uranium? Or about long term costs of decommissioning and managing nuclear power stations and nuclear waste?
1
@qzh00k bit late by the time it goes to a major smelter, and what if it goes to a minor one? I bet there’s a ton of radioactive material floating around, the amount of nuclear tests done and nuclear waste produced in the states I guarantee there’s been incidents similar to this that have covered up. Why do you think cancer rates have rocketed upwards since the 50s? It’s no coincidence
1
Funny how this happened in South Korea not the North and that they kept the building open despite the obvious signs it was about to collapse. The guy who kept it open only got 7 years for over 500 deaths.

@mikoto7693 I won’t be flying on a max, or any new Boeing, for a long time. Their culture is to sacrifice safety for cost, and then hide any dangers to the public as much as they can. This culture hasn’t been changed, and will continue. There have been numerous problems with all Boeing’s made in the NC plant for starters. I gave no doubts there will be another crash and Boing will do their best to hide the real reasons behind it from the public.

Anyone in charge of a nuclear reactor is the person least suitable to do the job
