first, the engine on the 737 max was too close to the ground so they moved it higher towards the windows which is just fine and dandy except it would cause the plane to point too far up during take off and cause a stall aka start falling out of the sky. so instead of taking the time to re-engineer the new plane Boeing decided to cut some corners instead (money money money) and add a software system called the MCAS which automatically forces the nose down if the plane begins to stall. this software was extremely faulty however with incorrect readings and was extremely dangerous because it could control of the entire plane and make it go nose down without the pilot’s awareness. and since Boeing also didnt want to spend the money on re-training the pilots they elected not to tell pilots about this new system at all. so can you imagine being a pilot flying a plane that suddenly starts to fucking dive bomb out of nowhere?? because that’s what happened in these two crashes - after take off the plane would receive faulty data and begin to dive towards the ground. the pilots had no clue that this software even existed and was controlling the plane. and since the pilots had no idea what was happening or how to fix it, this software caused them to ultimately crash and kill themselves and all passengers on board

exactly. and the reason that this huge design and software flaw was able to go under the radar is that Boeing and the FAA have an extremely close relationship ($$$) and the FAA actually allowed Boeing to do its own certification check which is extremely unethical when you’re dealing with the safety of millions and millions of lives. it makes you wonder what else slips through the cracks 

PLEASE ALWAYS TRY AND BE AWARE OF THE AIRCRAFT YOU WILL BE FLYING ON 

so… i propose a theory. happy feet and mad max take place in the same universe, but in different timelines. in the good timeline (the happy feet canon), mumble convinces the humans to stop destroying the earth using the power of dance. this leads into happy feet 2. in the bad timeline (the mad max canon), mumble fails to convince the humans. the penguin colony dies out, humans destroy the earth, and the mad max movies happen a few thousand years after happy feet 1.

They actually take place in the same timeline. The Mad Max post apocalyptic desert is canonically set in Australia, so it’s possible that Antarctica and the rest of the world might still be intact (although still affected by global climate change) while Australia is plunged into a never ending heat wave that dries out the country. So while the rest of the world is being inspired by this Dan of penguin, the Australians are making some cool ass cars and calling themselves Immortan Joe and shit. The satellite seen in Fury Road would probably still be functional, sending shows to the rest of the world while Australia is trying to cope with the post apocalyptic reality it lives in.

I made a thing.  Happy pride 🏳️‍🌈
