And their planes made with scrap parts are still flying around.

Edit: A lot of new .world users showing up with ChatGPT responses about how this was a conspiracy, reminds me of an article i read this week.

Well. It is a conspiracy. A conspiracy theory, even! I have a very compelling theory that Boeing conspired to kill that guy.

Just because it’s a conspiracy (we allege that people conspired to do something bad) theory (we don’t have absolute, provable-before-a-judge-and-jury hard evidence) doesn’t mean that it’s false. Also daily reminder that the CIA purposefully adopted the term “conspiracy theory” to convince the public to dismiss allegations that they secretly did something bad by associating them with Bigfoot and aliens. At the same time as they were secretly drugging random members of the public with LSD and watching them freak out and fall out of windows.

It’s a very plausible conspiracy theory. I think it warrants way more investigation than it got.

It’s not that difficult. Just takes some extra time.

Just fly an airline that doesn’t use Boeing that much like Frontier, Avelo, Hawaiian Airlines, JetBlue, Spirit.
