United 767 trashed by hangar fire suppression system (w/ pix)

Irony (noun) The use of words to express something other than and especially the opposite of the literal meaning.

Just saying…. 😎

Indeed, and may I be the first to congratulate the makers of the fire suppressant system. There’s barely a scorch mark to be seen on that 767 ! 😉

Indeed, agree completely.

I’m guessing very few members of this forum have ever seen firsthand how little holds one in? Essentially, there are a few clips to hold them in the correct spot and cabin pressure does the rest. It doesn’t take much force at all pushing the other way to eject them. The DC-9 didn’t even have the little clips BTW, the window seal alone held them in the hole, they were a bear to install correctly.

Oh yes! I remember changing an MD-80somethingorother PAX window about twenty years ago. It was a swine! I seem to remember it took two of us all night to change about three. God knows how they managed to sell so many of the things.

Sometimes it is quite hard to express irony and sarcasm through a forum, but I would have thought the “smilie” would have aided with the intent. 🙂

I got it, Matt. It seemed fairly obvious to me! 😀

BTW all pressurized aircrafts windows are designed to resist loads of pressure pushing them out but not as much pushing them in, so the displacement of the windows is not suprising.

How did Boeings quality have any bearing on this incident? It just happened to a Boeing standing in the way. What would worry me is what would that water pressure have done to me if I had been working on that 767?

Totally irresponsible, inaccurate and possibly libellous comment, has no place in this forum.:(

seems like Boeing planes are increasingly losing quality

Well, you’ve certainly convinced me with the force of your closely-reasoned argument…. :rolleyes:

seems like Boeing planes are increasingly losing quality

Why do you say that?

In a word…ouch!:D

Three times in three weeks, there’s got be something wrong with it.

Am I right to assume UA are taking legal action against the firm responsible for the installation of the fire suppression system?

That’s quite some repair list at the bottom of the article…

Now that’s how you clean a plane…take notice Air France!!!

The water cannon takes out the windows and a foreman pulls the window blinds down to do what?!:D:D
