BREAKING: A Boeing 777 in Russia Seeks Emergency Landing Due to the Engine!

Wow! There must be a disgruntled Maintenance engineer working for Boeing or something. This is crazy stuff.

This has got to be a hacker!

Boeing is a woke company.

Boeing doesn't do maintenance, airliners have their own crews. And even if they did, they wouldn't do it on the engines which are built by either GE, Pratt & Whitney or Rolls-Royce, depending on the customer's preference.

How? Airliners control computers are not hooked up to the internet in any way.

There were always planes having things happen and declaring an "Emergency".

Engines quit now and then ... but as long as they don't BLOW UP, like the one flying out of Denver did, usually the plane just continues on or finds an alternate field without anybody outside of the passengers knowing anything happened.

I was on a twin engine United jet once that lost an engine about an hour after we left and we just turned back to where we started from (big maintenance hub for the airline at that airport) ... but alas we had to fly around for another 40 minutes after we retraced our route so as to burn off enough fuel so we were light enough to land. Great sightseeing trip since they took the plane down to just a couple of thousand feet about the ground for that extra 40 minutes since jets burn fuel a LOT quicker when they are down low.

NO BIG DEAL!! The most exciting thing was all the fire department crash trucks awaiting our landing!!

Friend who was an airline pilot (now retired) lost an engine over the mid Atlantic ... they just continued on to London. and the people in the back were no wiser.

Flying is the safest way to travel ... just be sure you are flying a US/Canadian, major European flag carrier, or Japan, China, or Emirates. Those airlines have the best pilots.

777's Definitely can be hacked.

There's been a couple presentations about it at defcon over the years...

Also I believe that the engines they use also call home so have some sort of uplink setup.

Just like Dominion voting machines....

Air travel is being sabotaged?
Curious and curiouser.

HARD RIGHT RUDDER!

#5 for Boeing

Meanwhile in Russia ...

No doubt, COVID started it.

Has there been a stuxnet/flame v3.0 yet? Where is the former GLP'r TheReturn ? They was all about no more air travel threads around 2020 or 2021 iirc.

All of Boeings engines are online 24/7

People are so fucking stupid, if a engine in your car blows up it must be the manufacturer right?

Fuck Off

Yeah they gave my bonus to special interest groups last september. garbage company.

It’s hydrogen sulfide not engines

Pratt & Whitney fans are having little cracks til it fails. Cost airlines a couple million. Did yall think laying off airlines folks wasn't gonna cause problems. Airlines are a lot more than pilots. Hell being a pilot is one of the easy jobs. Planes almost fly themselves. Its the below wing folks who are critical.
