In case people are clicking just to check, yes it was a Boeing, 737-800

Another Boeing mishap? Why am I not surprised. I’m beginning to believe all Boeing aircraft should be grounded, and then dismantled.

A 747 converted into a house could be pretty sick

Boeing doesn't make engines.

Also, this is a nine-year-old plane. It has had at least one total tear down by Southwest.
