So does the jail cell...a whole concrete bench.

Carbon neutral until the wind dies down and they start the diesel.

It's not an overall failure, it's a testing destruction fail, this happens with most aircraft tested. All this is a slow media day and looking for an angle on a story.

Five islands in the Arctic ocean, never before recorded by man, released from permaice coverage. Polynesian islands slowly disappearing under water, needing evacuation, trying to blame a government that will pay for it. The real reason for denial, no-one wants to pay!

That's 1% shy of 150% of real load expectations.

They can't dump it as that would mean replacing with all new software to negate the flight problems. New software means possibly new faults. Biggest drama is getting the patches passed not just by FAA but all international air authorities who, I'll bet, have a different opinion on what's right.

Testing done at 1.5 times any expected situation seems unlikely to be overly threatening in normal flight use. The main need to test above and beyond is to factor in fatigue and degradation over the planes lifespan. Australian Standards for lifting equipment is 2X the rating listed for it, i.e. a trolley jack rated at 1500kg is tested at 3000kg. Over time wear and tear will lessen its capability so a wear test factor has to be used. Also there is the idiot factor on people using them for what they're not designed for, not saying pilots would do this with airliners obviously though.

Greta Fakeberg and her puppet masters, the question is, who really are they funded by?

As to reading, your grammar needs work. Her speeches are obviously written for her and well rehearsed. Caught off the cuff, boarding the boat back to Europe, she sounded like any self absorbed teen who seemed immensely intimidated by half a dozen journalists without a clue what to say. Hardly a mindset activist.

Maybe the FBI could use some drones in the area to catch this turkey.
