March 26, 20242 yr Not sure if you would call it a door seal...I believe it was a problem with the seal between segments of the solid rocket boosters and how it responded to cold temperatures. Doug
March 26, 20242 yr To me the bottom line is that traveling on these problematic major passenger planes is still very much safer than going by automobile. And flights on these are probably going to be cheaper, and to me more attractive. After 9/11 ushered in a real bargain era for cheapskates like me (prices dropped due to low demand and fear). 5800X3D, RTX4070, 600 Watt, one or two 1440p 32" screens, 64 GB RAM, 4 TB PCle 3 NVMe, Warthog throttle, VKB NXT EVO stick, Honeycomb Alpha yoke, CH quad, 3 Logitech panels, 2 StreamDecks, Desktop Aviator Trim Panel.

The 737 Max-9 issue was caused by the failure to properly bolt the door plug in place, not really a failure of the seals. Edited March 27, 20242 yr by mwilk

April 2, 20242 yr The Challenger disaster was the first world event I heard about first online. I worked with a guy whose girlfriend had helped start an online outlet called The Source, and he heard about it there. He came running in the warehouse to tell us. The Challenger disaster was the major "flashbulb event" for that generation, like the Kennedy assassination was for us. I remember a lot of details about what was going on with both of these. For example, with the Kennedy assassination I remember what shirt I was wearing. With the Challenger disaster I remember where everyone in the room was standing. I don't think I'll be watching the movie either. Hook Larry Hookins Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of EarthAnd danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
