Please don't forget that I am an extremely racist idiot who also has terrible opinions about the Culture series.

Warning in question was a warning of a disagreement between AoA sensors. In the context of these crashes and the behavior of MCAS, that's noise.

People are insanely dumb and actually evacuating anything quickly is pretty much impossible without tons and tons of training.

I have watched grown-rear end adults just stare agape at the loud blinky thing like they have never heard a loving fire alarm before, and then argue with me about whether they need to leave.

I was in a hotel room, passed out from a long night of partying when the fire alarm was pulled by some douchebag for no reason. I remember trying to figure out what to do, and just pacing around the room and half-doing things (putting on clothes, grabbing my wallet, etc.) but never really completing any action. I finally grabbed a pillow and held it over the strobe/horn and was able to gather my thoughts and get out.

I think of myself as a smart person who knows what to do in emergencies, but if that building had actually been on fire I might not have made it out alive.

Last time we had a fire alarm at work, we mostly just spent our time wondering what the gently caress it was(our building has like five different alarms for theft, doors being opened that should be left closed, etc. and half the time they go off it's because of a fault or just because someone who was MEANT to open the door didn't bother/remember disabling the alarm first. To make it doubly confusing, the fire-alarm is preceded by a coded message for the employees so they can prepare to usher out the customers which is very similar to ANOTHER coded message we get over the PA system every couple of days, and thus everyone thought it was just someone mangling that code). Then when someone actually hauled rear end down the building telling us it was a fire alarm, everyone calmly picked up their stuff and went out the main doors rather than using any of the intended emergency exits or leaving their stuff where it was.

We would absolutely all die horribly if it was an actual fire.

I think the feature splat that got them was they had an add-on AOA instrument. The software was supposed to take votes from 2 standard or 3 enhanced, but the software was hosed up and only took votes when you had all 3 instruments. This is them copping to saying yeah it supposed to logically take votes from 2 without the upgrade to add the 3rd instrument.

Im not sure, but here’s the press release


Boeing press release posted:

The Boeing design requirements for the 737 MAX included the AOA Disagree alert as a standard, standalone feature, in keeping with Boeing’s fundamental design philosophy of retaining commonality with the 737NG. In 2017, within several months after beginning 737 MAX deliveries, engineers at Boeing identified that the 737 MAX display system software did not correctly meet the AOA Disagree alert requirements. The software delivered to Boeing linked the AOA Disagree alert to the AOA indicator, which is an optional feature on the MAX and the NG. Accordingly, the software activated the AOA Disagree alert only if an airline opted for the AOA indicator.

Haha yeah it's even sillier than it being redundant instruments like I thought, sounds like it was a display they wanted you to buy and the indicator was linked to it's DLC purchase.

I haven't seen anything leading to a home run hanging of specific management yet. So far everything seems to be in the margins of a FMEA around the newer flight envelope management. There's probably a cadre of engineers yelling "I told you we should have just taught them the new envelope! I told you so!"

Probably some fines and a middle management reshuffle at this point. Gonna need another bombshell for them to start touching anyone above a VP level except maybe a program manager who made the decision to focus on the flight envelope cheats to expand the market without requiring extra training on new flight characteristics.

Your workplace would benefit well from the studies on planes, nuclear power plants, etc. that talk about minimizing the number of warning signs that are given. There's a serious concern in high-risk fields about the tendency to put a light, alarm, or other warning for everything that could possibly need an alert because of the possibility of a cascading series of warnings creating an overwhelming array of noise and flashing lights.

It’s not just an overwhelming amount of noise that is an issue. When everything has an alarm, it will just turn into background noise when they are going off constantly. I work in a control room environment, and the amount of alarms we get (not audible, just computer visual alarms) seems to be increasing daily. There are a lot of useless alarms that come in that can mask an important alarm, or at least delay recognition of it.

I still don't get how that tree got so bad. Does the power company just never inspect its lines to see if trees are growing into them? if so, do they just not bother trimming? Also, how did it take that long for the power lines to finally start a fire like that? Trees don't just grow overnight.

There was some new construction completed near my house a year or two ago along my route to the train station where they planted trees directly under the power lines. Like not even an inch to the side, right smack dab under the hanging lines. Every time I walk by I think "you imbeciles; you absolute morons"

Everyone dropped their stuff and booked it to any available exit. Rally point? Forgotten. Fire exits? Ignored.

Pretty close. If the building wasn't half empty and the exits were crowded, people would have absolutely been in a mindset to start tossing chairs or vaulting, Costanza-style over the slower people.
