At least in this instance, it looks like it was something that was totally unrelated. An infection that the guy had, pneumonia as well.Good grief...
Right.At least in this instance, it looks like it was something that was totally unrelated. An infection that the guy had, pneumonia as well.
The other aspect of this is that DOJ is reportedly consulting with the families of those killed in the Lion Air and Ethiopian crashes, and IIRC they were unhappy with the original settlement forced on them by DOJ through the deferred prosecution agreement. So it potentially opens up legal action from the families, not just DOJ.DOJ has submitted to a Texas Judge that they believe Boeing did violate its 2021 plea bargain by not improving MAX safety and quality inspections as they pledged to do.
For a prior incident of overflow leading to disastrous results through a circuitous path, see Ariane Flight V88 and the loss of the first Ariane 5. A conversion (64 bit floating point to 16 bit signed integer) overflowed because the code was designed for Ariane 4 (and wasn't even needed on Ariane 5), ran for longer than designed for on Ariane 5, generating larger values than expected that then caused the overflow, that overflow threw an exception, both inertial units dropped out because of the exception, and the diagnostic message from one of them was executed as if it was a flight command....Great news but I don't quite understand how wrong data could be returned as a result of an overflow.
The server program should either send a false flag or accurate results.

Boeing's decline basically started when the engineers stopped running the company.If academical degrees are the thing to judge a person's suitability for a function in corporate governance, I would much prefer somebody with a degree in Business Administration than one with a degree in engineering. And no, I certainly don't want anyone with just an MBA tinkering on a nuclear reactor.
Everyone to their own trade.
Also going to see some short term layoffs as they kick out the people sweeping things under the rug...The dramatically increased use of the reporting tool is a good thing, from bottom to top they need to return to a culture that looks for problems to solve and rewards those who find them as well as those who fix them. It's going to be short-term ugly as the stuff previously swept under the rug is dragged back out into the daylight, but it needs to happen to get Boeing where it needs to be.
Well the CEO is already goingAlso going to see some short term layoffs as they kick out the people sweeping things under the rug...
Yeah, no great loss in either case.Well the CEO is already going
