On: Airbus ran ‘massive’ bribery scheme to win orders

[gdy]

"Airbus is everything that is wrong with the corporate world."

But it makes planes that don't crash like Boeings.

Not exactly...

[zwirbl → sojournerc]

So both companies build planes that crash, with mostly similar rates as well The outliers in this list are the 747, the A310 and the 737MAX in ascending order

It doesn't say the reasons for the crashes, unfortunately.

Boeings look unsafe now but are Airbus really any safer? We are looking at a small sample of extreme events. And just generally, I would not put a great deal of confidence in a company run by politicians...that doesn't mean Boeing is great btw, just that it is probably less bad.
