They just fall off when unpowered.

Because if they didn't have human form they, by definition, wouldn't be humanoids ? :)

I have this, even with a single fry at the start of a meal. Starchy or dry food in general. I'm about to get hiccup from that fry, then I down a half glass of water and I'm good for the rest of the meal.

Yeah the 777X. Weird, the 777 is so successful.

Exactly. I flew the 777 for a living. It's a tank. Extremely reliable, flies like a dream, plenty of power. I haven't flown the new generation 777 though and you can bet it's not as safe. Nothing Boeing makes now is.

I used to be a "if it's not Boeing I'm not going" pilot. I feel stupid now.

Airlines suffer the exact same problem. Greed. Boeing doesn't make the engines. GE does (or Pratt and Whitney). They are very reliable engines too. If they start failing in a specific airline, it's a maintenance problem.

Edit: also as comments started, this could be nothing but normal issues, haven't read the article. I stopped reading at "engine issues, including tyre falling off..." What??

There's a guy, Isaac Newton, he's 57. Ask him about his ~~second~~ third law, hopefully he came up with it already.

I steer gigantic metal birds pulled by armies of horses carrying dozens of people, to the antipodes... in less than one day... using dead animal juice.
