  1. How I know this is an old man site.
    Guy finds an excuse to obviously post pictures of the pump shed he built with a half-dozen photos. 
    Me, looking the photos in depth:

  2. There's blowout panels in the door to equalize pressure during a rapid or explosive decompression. The door flying open seems improbable and certainly isn't in the flight manual. Of course, the fact that MCAS existed wasn't initially in the manual either. Frankly, if I can't control it, don't add shit my brain has to remember.

    Pretty good technical breakdown of what NTSB has found and told the public so far, delivered by an aircraft mechanic. Some harrowing details that were new to me: the cockpit door blew open when the door came off, the pilots headsets got sucked off their heads and blown out of the plane along with their fuckin emergency checklists, and that the (now found) door is missing one of its guides. It's very possible that the plug door was missing lock bolts AND structural bolts. Oh yeah and the cockpit door blowing open is officially a feature and not a bug - they just forgot to include that detail in the manual. I wonder what else Boeing omitted from the manual. 
     
    I'm very glad I flew a 90s era 737-900er home today and not a Boeing plane made within the last decade

    That 900er has the same plug.
