    I’m really glad I’m not on their raggedy planes. Skipping failed safety certs and flying with broken components in the name of an pointless war is going to get passengers killed.

      Yeah it would really suck to have a door blown out or a cracked cockpit glass.

        The door is inexcusable, but cracked glass happens frequently to many airlines. The pane that cracked is the outer pane and usually occurs from frequent heating and cooling.

        In that article, the big ones were both engines failing simultaneously and the landing gear not deploying xD
