Feels pretty organic to me. Things falling off planes and whistleblowers alleging coverup generate organic interest


Things falling off planes just as we’re starting to forget the terror rollercoasters to which they subjected hundreds of people before their death. Organic indeed.


Maybe it is to some extent but I'm seeing a more general pattern wrt commercial air travel coverage. There's the turbulence stories and the "near collision" stories. It's possible every aspect of the air travel system is breaking down in real-time I suppose. But it's also possible there is some sort of agenda at work and its promoters are leveraging anything they can find.

Please tell us more.



The only ones I can see who would stand to win in such a conspiracy would be Airbus, but they were already winning with or without Boeing.


I don't know that a canonical conspiracy is required. I could imagine an emergent symbiosis of different parties. Eg. The media likes clicks and some NGOs don't like air travel. I'm not saying this is the case just that it might be slightly more complex than what it appears on face.
