Boeing 767 smashes into runway as the FedEx plane makes emergency landing without a nose gear in Turkey

Shocking footage showed the moment the plane attempted an emergency landing, smashing down into the runway and scraping its nose along the concrete

In Turkey, a Boeing 767 cargo plane operated by FedEx crash-landed due to landing gear failure after departing from Paris' Charles de Gaulle airport.

Shocking footage captured the emergency landing, showing the plane scraping along the runway with sparks and smoke billowing. Thankfully, no injuries were reported, and the crew evacuated safely.

This incident adds to Boeing's troubles, as the company faces scrutiny over safety issues, quality control problems, and the deaths of two whistleblowers.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is investigating Boeing following falsified inspection records at a South Carolina plant. A worker's report of irregularities led to a review, revealing policy violations in recording completed tests.

Boeing's challenges extend to previous incidents like a door plug blowing out of a 737 Max jet and the grounding of Max jets after fatal crashes in 2018 and 2019. Families of crash victims seek justice, pushing for criminal fraud charges against Boeing.

Efforts are underway to tow the plane off the runway, while investigations into the accident continue at Istanbul Airport in Istanbul, Turkiye on May 08, 2024

Moreover, two whistleblowers, Joshua Dean and John Barnett, faced adversity. Dean, who questioned standards at Spirit AeroSystems, was fired and later passed away from an illness, while Barnett's death, initially deemed suicide, raised questions among his acquaintances.

These events have impacted Boeing's stock prices and raised concerns about safety practices within the aerospace industry.
