The little mini-stock quotes the Wall Street Journal puts inside their articles after ever mention of a publicly traded company shows Boeing up 0.61 percent as of 11:51 AM EDT on Friday, possibly on the news in one of those stories: Preliminary data from the ongoing investigation indicates that last month’s horrific crash of Air India Flight 171 immediately after takeoff from the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport in Ahmedabad, killing 260 people, was not due to any technical fault in the design of the 787 Dreamliner, but that switches controlling fuel flow to the jet’s two engines were turned off by someone – maybe the crew – which lead to the catastrophic loss of lift.
The disaster being Boeing’s fault would’ve been the last fucking thing they needed at this point.
