@Gargron Fucking Boeing indeed...

@Gargron it's good to see that you're ok!

@Gargron Holy God! I'm glad you and everyone else are okay.

@Gargron

Luckily, most airframe have an APU to backup hydraulic failures but that is the last layer of defense for this type of failure.

So glad you are safe!

@Gargron hoo boy

@Gargron Glad to hear you‘re ok!

@Gargron
Holy shit. Time for that entire fleet to be grounded worldwide.

Glad you're OK.

@Gargron Boeing aircraft?

@Gargron Oh shite, glad you’re OK! The asshole CEO already stepped down, but that doesn’t fix this whole mess.

I want off Mr. Boeing’s wild ride.

@Gargron can't be pleasant

@Gargron Might have also been a maintenance issue. Even if Boeing had no flaws, a lot of those systems need to be kept maintained

@Gargron What flight? Not seeing this incident in the Aviation Safety Network database yet: https://aviation-safety.net/

@Gargron Did they really use the words „Don‘t panic“?

@Gargron damn bro. Safe travels (...starting now)!

@Gargron Holy shit. I'm glad y'all landed safe! :o

@Gargron i hope you're not getting towed outside the environment

@Gargron Glad to know you and the other passengers are safe! Maybe the Mastodon plushie you had with you brought you some good luck?

@Gargron “My ‘don’t panic’ pilot’s uniform is raising a lot of questions that should be answered by my uniform.”

@Gargron At least you came down safely enough to be annoyed about it. Hydraulics failure is always a dire situation for the flight crew.

@Gargron
Ykes, lucky escape. I'm amazed they still have planes in the air at this point (as in I'm surprised they haven't been forced to ground them all, not that they all fell out of the sky. Although...)

@Gargron You may want to drop a short note to Simon at avherald.com.

@Gargron You do realized that jets are designed with multiple redundant hydraulic systems so that this isn't as big of a deal as you try to make it.

@Gargron like when they say “calm down”. Glad to know you’re fine.

@Gargron "don't panic" is just about the worst thing to say if you don't want someone to panic. incidentally great if you want them to panic

@Gargron Wooo, that happened to me in 2021.

@Gargron I'd rather hear that than this tbh...

@Gargron 😱😱😱😱

@Gargron

What model aircraft?

@Gargron

"The hydraulic system broke"

"A" hydraulic system broke. Civilian transports are designed with three. Yes, it's an emergency and they are required to land at first opportunity, but it's not an "OMG we're going to die!" situation. They train for that.

I say this as one who wants the top 346 execs at boeing fired, one for each of the people their deadly-as-designed 737 maxes killed.

@Gargron The question would be "which one?", since most planes have something like three hydraulic systems, and all important control surfaces can be moved by more than one of them. The answer is probably hidden in that "now being towed", because it likely means that they lost the one which controls the on-ground steering; someone who knows the details of that plane model can tell by that which hydraulic system broke.

@Gargron glad you’re safe

@Gargron Thats Boeing for you.
