Boeing is not the first software sourced plane crash.

“Air France Flight 296 was a chartered flight of a new Airbus A320-111 operated by Air France.[1] On 26 June 1988, it crashed while making a low pass over Mulhouse–Habsheim Airport “

Pilot says plane was low speed/altitude and the plane defaulted to landing protocol and would not accept increase power signals. Hit treetops and crashed.

Doesn’t seem possible that 31 years later software causes multiple fatality crashes. Space shuttle cost so much because of quadruple redundancy safety checks. Hubble had problems because of 6th grade level problem overlooked. Accidents should carry weight of human suffering when ascribing blame. If corporations deserve recognition as people then they should carry liability as people.

1. Is that the one where they were doing a touch and go?

That's what I remember, they had press and bigwigs on board and the company's top test pilots at the stick

They went to touch and go and the planes computer decided to take over and land the plane

In the forest beyond the runway

I'm pretty sure that's the one

Scary stuff and one of the reasons I don't fly

My best friend retired from Boeing on Dec 1st after 35 years with company

He didn't want to go to work feeling betrayed by the powers that be after the max nightmare

2. Right. The plane was in landing approach with wheels down.

Said they were supposed to come in for a low flyby. Plane defaulted to landing protocol and wouldn’t accept throttle up command. Seems if the plane made an autonomous decision to land their would have been support for landing runway.
