- Comment on Security footage of Boeing repair before door-plug blowout was overwritten 9 months ago:
As someone who works in aircraft maintenance, I am actually shocked by this. Forget the video footage, that’s just a cheap-assed commercial camera somewhere in the rafters. But the paperwork?
As a repair station, we have to document every single step of every single task. If a mechanic does it, he signs that he has done it and an inspector checks and countersigns that he has done it correctly. For a single aircraft input, this is upwards of 50,000 signed task steps. We have to hand all that data to the customer when it is complete, and also keep it for a minimum of 7 years for most stuff, some things in perpetuity.
If Boeing couldn’t provide the exact names and dates involved within a 5 minute search, then someone has already found it and destroyed it.
- Comment on Why Paramount Didn’t Market ‘Mean Girls’ as a Musical: ‘People Tend to Treat’ Them ‘Differently’ 11 months ago:
This movie is not going to go well, regardless of marketing it as a musical or not.
My daughter is a total theatre kid, and a Mean Girls fan, so has actually been looking forward to this. However now the songs are coming out, they’ve changed them all compared to the actual musical. For the stage musical the songs are rock music, with heavily distorted guitars etc. But the songs that are being released from the movie are bad auto-tuned pop covers of those songs. She’s furious, and is unlikely to go see it now, even though she’s totally the target audience.
