If the jet was more closely scrutinized in October perhaps this would not have occurred today. These jets are at the most three years old. Boeing is a very important company to the USA and the focus can only help the company.
I find a three year old jet falling out of the sky twice in 8 months very upsetting. How could it happen?
There are, of course, the issues with the jet itself, but, also to be considered and reviewed are the preparations of the pilots. Jets are becoming more techi in nature and are the pilots properly trained with enough time with the jet to carry out successful flights.
There is also the flight plans and the weather the jet was facing. Recently, far below the sky, a cruise ship was struck by high winds. There were injuries because it is estimated the ship leaned up to 45 degrees from it's upright sailing position. So, the idea there could have been strong winds or turbulent weather is realistic.
The NTSB should have at least a preliminary report from the October jet crash.
So, we need to get this right and in respect of those lost both in October and today, I will defer these hours to honor their lives.
Good night.
