№ 562.3: EXTRA! God And Boeing

How Boeing’s 737 MAX Failed
The plane’s safety systems, and how they were developed, are at the center of the aerospace giant’s unfolding crisis

WISHFUL THINK, March 29

There is no way of knowing
if God worked at Boeing
but, clearly, there are similarities.
Both treat engineering
as a veneering.
to cover up missing mortality.
If you spot a problem
rather than solve it
apply a quick fix
which does not resolve it.
This is why the world's such a hash
and also why a Boeing might crash.
