I am not disagreeing on your summary of the current situation, Boeing reputation as I said before is in pieces. Boeing is not going to disappear, as airlines have little choice to still order new Boeing aircraft, as the market is dominated by the them and Airbus. Neither company can keep up with current demand and it would be impossible for Airbus to supply all aircraft on their own. Embraer, Bombardier and Comac are years/decades away from challenging that domination Each year both Airbus and Boeing produce a statistical analysis of commercial aviation accidents 1958 - 2023, the publications looks at all the data and also provides a review of the commercial aviation safety record evolution over the previous decades. https://www.airbus.com/en/newsroom/stories/2024-03-2023-a-year-with-no-fatal-accidents-in-commercial-aviation#:~:text=No fatal accidents and no,in safety over recent decades. https://www.boeing.com/content/dam/boeing/boeingdotcom/company/about_bca/pdf/statsum.pdf

Please explain what trauma you think they suffered. The passengers got a bit sweaty and delayed, the plane was not involved in an emergency and there was never any danger.

My post was just a basic overview. Commercial operators must follow a continuous inspection program approved by the countries aviation authority, such as; Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in the United States. Transport Canada Civil Aviation Directorate (TCCA) in Canada. European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) in EU. Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) in UK. Each aircraft operator prepares a Continuous Airworthiness Maintenance Program (CAMP) which includes both routine and detailed inspections, following national guidelines. Many following FAA standards. “The FAA directs that maintenance requirements be generated for each aircraft type in a Maintenance Review Board Report (MRBR), which is based on the analysis performed as outlined in ATA (Air transportation Association) "MSG-3 Operator/Manufacturer Scheduled Maintenance Development" document (MSG-3 is for Maintenance Steering Group – 3rd Task Force). Aircraft with MSG-3-derived maintenance programs employ usage parameters —such as flight hours, calendar time, or flight cycles—for each required maintenance task included in the MRBR. This allows for more flexibility in the scheduling of maintenance to minimise aircraft downtime.” https://www.easa.europa.eu/sites/default/files/dfu/ws_prod-g-doc-Events-2010-jan-19-Ref-9.-MRB-process.pdf All Thai airlines came close to a ban in 2015, but European aviation authorities decided not to place any restrictions on Thai airlines operating in Europe, saying they were convinced that Thai authorities are committed to rectifying safety shortcomings cited by the International Civil Aviation Organisation.(ICAO). In June 2015, ICAO had added Thailand to a list of 12 other nations found deficient in managing their airlines and ability to conduct air operator certifications. A week before the FAA had downgraded Thailand's aviation safety rating to "category 2," barring Thai airlines from establishing new services to the United States. Category 2 means a nation's civil aviation authority is deficient in one or more critical areas or that the country lacks laws and regulations needed to oversee airlines in line with international standards.

In your theory, i hope the burning was after death and not the cause. Post mortem investigation of the oesophagus, tongue, larynx, trachea, bronchi, and lungs, for soot and burns will determine how painful this poor souls last moment were.

Fully agree that currently Boeing’s reputation is in pieces, but we are currently seeing that every event involving a Boeing aircraft hits social media and the news immediately, and sometimes without considered opinion or expert insight, Boeing are blamed, even if is human error, airlines faults, maintenance issues. This incident was minor, with a short delay and the aircraft completed the flight after corrective action. FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) issues Airworthiness Directives, to all aircraft types. These are legally enforceable rules issued by in accordance with 14 CFR (Code of Federal Regulations) part 39 to correct an unsafe condition in a product. 14 CFR part 39 defines a product as an aircraft, aircraft engine, propeller, or appliance. A full searchable list of these directives can be found here. https://drs.faa.gov/browse The International Air Transport Association (IATA) recently stated that “ Flying is the safest mode of transport, with one accident for every 1.26 million flights. At this level of safety, on average a person would have to travel by air every day for 103,239 years to experience a fatal accident.” In 2023 there was only a single fatal accident involving a turboprop aircraft, which resulted in 72 fatalities. Yeti Airlines Flight 691, from Kathmandu to Pokhara in Nepal, on 15 January 2023, an ATR 72, from an Franco-Italian aircraft manufacturer For comparison’s sake, 158 people died in aviation accidents in 2022, with more than 65,000 dying on roads in the UK, US and EU in the same year.

Sorry, but you can, the human body does not spontaneous combust, and will not burst into flames without being ignited by an external heat/ignition source. The prevalent scientific explanation for spontaneous human combustion is known as the wick effect, which proposes that humans can act like candles do. The wick theory suggests that fat acts as a fuel source, and a human body is kept burning through its own fat after being ignited. Blankets and clothing, will act like a candle wick, and because hands and feet have less fat, they don't provide enough fuel to be entirely consumed by the burning.

Here are the details of Nok’s current fleet.

All aircraft have maintenance check periods and for the 737 I believe is as follows: A check – every 500 FH.(flight hours) Now known as a P1 check. B check – every 6 months. For modern aircraft this is now incorporated into A or C checks. C check – every 4-6,000 FH / 2-3 years. Now P8, P10 or P12 checks. D check – every 24-40,000 FH / 9-12 years. Typically a P48 check. D Checks involves comprehensive inspections and repairs of the entire aircraft. Technicians basically dismantle the airplane and put it back together. This check can take about three to six weeks and costs several millions of dollars. The aircraft in this minor incident, is leased, and the maintenance schedules, will be part of that lease agreement. https://wtruib.ru/boeing_737/amm/FLIGHT_CONTROLS/

Yes I noticed. 55555

As these are not reportable incidents for CAAT, information is limited. This appears to be more of a start up check list problem, something not right, rather than the reported engine failure. Looking at flight data, online, the same aircraft was eventually used for the flight.

Sorry funny.5555 I posted earlier information on a planes air conditioning works, engines, APU and ground cooling. The post got positive reactions. But it has now been deleted fully, because I called the old title, which has since been changed, irrelevant.

This aircraft has been with Nok Air, since 2014, and maybe a maintenance issue, nothing to do with the fact it was a Boeing. Do you really believe that only Boeing aircraft have issues?

This is the thread from Monday, which shows CAAT (Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand) asking about this flight.

Without seeing the body, it is impossible determine the extent of the burns, but the post mortem, should reveal some evidence of why only the head is burnt. Decomposition will have been helped by the heat. Many predacious and scavenger animals will have damaged the body, ants, insects, worms, flies, maggots rodents, birds, dogs,etc. There are also many recorded cases, where fire and burning is used to cover evidence, such as blunt force injuries. Burning itself, can cause reactions on the body, with the same characteristics of these types of injuries and will make the diagnostic interpretation, of cause of death, difficult. Hopefully the post mortem provides the answers.

The problem is the fire will continue to smoulder, as the chemicals/combustibles mix under the rubble/roof/earth/foam, will remain hot and when exposed to the air, may ignite again. If any of the waste chemicals have oxidising properties, meaning when heated they give off oxygen, they will still burn even when covered over, thus giving off smoke and when exposed, flames will again be visible. Responders will be involved in the ‘turning over and damping down’ stage, so flare ups can be expected as the site is cleared.

Agencies in Bangkok are now reported to be inspecting around 500,000 utility holes to ensure their safety. The MEA is also, inspecting all of their ‘tube wells’ in Bangkok, Nonthaburi, and Samut Prakarn and are considering introducing the use of ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) manhole covers for future projects to prevent theft. MEA's Assistant Governor Satit Pongsathonwiboon said today the UHPC covers have already been successfully deployed in a project on Chaiyaphruek road and that could be expanded. You can now report unsafe utility holes via the Traffy Fondue platform. https://www.traffy.in.th/

One analyst stated. “This is a major and unexpected new disclosure from Boeing. In an internal memo to all staff, Scott Stoker, 787 VP and GM said, several people have been violating company policies by not performing a required test but recording the work as having been completed. The word alleged is missing from my memo and Boeing have not delivered a single jet since April 12 of this year. Boeing, have had to go back and repeat the missing grounding and bonding test on all 787s, thus putting undelivered aircraft out of sequence and stalling all deliveries. Boeing said this problem does not affect any aircraft which is currently in service and they can continue to operate safely.“

Mr. Piya Pitutecha, President of the Rayong Provincial Administrative Organisation, explained that they are digging ponds to trap concentrated chemical run off, after extinguishing the fire at the Win Process factory. The ponds, which will be lined, are to trap concentrated chemical sludge. before the water overflows from the factory’s original wastewater storage ponds. It was revealed that after digging down to a depth of 5 metres, water was discovered, that had a dark black appearance, with a strong stench similar to engine oil. This is thought to be chemicals seeping underground, from the factory, that have accumulated over a long period of time. They are expected to dig to about 10 metres depth and a total of 3-4 of the ponds will be required to receive approximately 250,000 cubic feet of waste water. The excavation, hoped to be completed within 4 days in time for the upcoming rainy season. The soil removed is being used to reinforce the existing ponds on the site.

FAA is now, also investigating Boeing for apparent missed inspections on 787 Dreamliner. “Boeing “voluntarily informed us in April" that the plane maker may not have completed required inspections to confirm that there was adequate bonding and grounding where the wings join the carbon fiber fuselage on certain 787 jets.” https://www.npr.org/2024/05/06/1249432229/faa-investigation-boeing-787-dreamliner

Thai media update report, “This damage, was reported before Songkran. Suan Luang District led by Mr. Bancha Suebkrapan, District Director, coordinated with the Public Works Department, Bangkok. to take corrective action, to repair the bridge. Currently, about 50% of the bridge has been repaired, with temporary steel pillars being used and measures taken to reinforce the strength of the concrete pillars. The authority asked for cooperation to prohibit trucks from using the bridge, but cars and people can use as normal. The full repairs are expected to take approximately 60 days to complete.”

Thank you

Here, I have blown the picture up for you. The metal supports are the red posts, and are completely separate from the bamboo scaffolding.

Sorry, have no idea on the load capacity of these supports, or how damaged or corroded the original, reinforced concrete piers really are. As I said above, you would hope an assessment has been made by a structural engineer, for this temporary repair solution.
