Boeing

But the sell-off went wider.

The same CNBC piece says Thursday's selling pressure was just so intense that it spread to other parts of the market, knocking Boeing down 2%, Nike down 2%, JP Morgan down 4%, and Caterpillar down 6%.

Remember Evercore analyst Amit Daryanani arguing that Apple would be safe since it's not an AI hyperscaler? Apple was down five and a third or one and a half percent, ending the day at 344 and change.

Even at that though, you got to kind of figure that Darianani's right.

I drew these pictures.

And through a series of synchronicities, I met somebody who helped me figure out that this was the Boeing facility.

And it was very synchronistic how it happened.

I knew it was a Boeing facility as soon as he said it.

He's a delivery driver that delivers to different bases, not just military, but he happens to deliver to Boeing facilities.

And when I told him about this story, he mentioned something about a Boeing facility.

And I was like, oh my God, it was a Boeing building.

I remember now.

Like every day, multiple times a day, they're releasing something new.

They're, you know, this executive order, they're doing this and, But what I see is that they're releasing lots of new technologies rapidly, Lockheed, Boeing, all the main ones, and especially these unmanned aircraft that are using very advanced technologies.

And I think by coming forward and saying that we have... reverse engineered extraterrestrial craft it's giving them a free pass to start rolling out these new craft using that reverse engineered technology and well we would be none the wiser that it was it's actually alien tech we're looking at but now they're now they're like we've told them we told them we have downed ufos we told them there's reverse engineering programs that's all they need to know Here's all these new craft.

Here's how we're going to space now.

The new designs include economy and premium economy seats with more reclining and legroom, business class seats with sliding privacy doors, and first class suites featuring what SIA says will be the largest double bed in commercial aviation.

The new products will be rolled out progressively from the second half of next year, starting with the airline's new Boeing 777-9 fleet and refurbished Airbus A350-900 aircraft.

And finally, former Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak is one step closer to serving the rest of his prison sentence under house arrest, after his party paid a required fine of 50 million ringgit, or about 12.3 million Singapore dollars.

UMNO said it completed the payment following a fundraising campaign.

One was...

in Quantico with Boeing personnel, Marines embarked and Boeing personnel on the aircraft as well.

And that had an oil leak within the nacelle, which caught on fire while they were conducting what was effectively a, they were coming into land to do a demonstration in front of my understanding, members of Congress.

So there are a lot of people who are going to see this as kind of the first demonstration of the aircraft itself.

The airline announced that it is investing more than S$2 billion in these all-new first-class, business class, premium economy and economy class seats, which are a key part of SIA's elevated end-to-end travel experience.

The new cabin products will be progressively introduced from the second half of 2027 on the airline's 41 retrofitted Airbus A350-900 long-haul and ultra-long-range aircraft, as well as its new Boeing 777-9 fleet.

The upgrades form the centrepiece of SIA's broader push to enhance its travel experience and will also include other improvements such as the upgrade of its Criswell Entertainment Systems, new in-flight amenities, new and refreshed in-flight dishes and beverage offerings, high-speed connectivity and upgraded airport lounges.

According to SIA, the new cabin designs were informed by research involving more than 5,000 frequent travellers, customers, staff and industry experts worldwide.

It's not because the weather gets too bad, but because of a small chain of decisions inside the cockpit on what was otherwise an ordinary day.

Now there's this report that Boeing puts out and if you read it, one of the first things you notice is that this kind of accident, this controlled flight into terrain thing is responsible for about one in every five crashes in aviation history.

One in five.

From a plane that was working fine, flown by a crew that was trained on a day that was mostly normal.

The crew was running late.

They were in a hurry and somebody typed one wrong letter into the navigation's computer system.

One letter and a perfectly good Boeing flew into a mountain.

This is another case of Thai Airways 311.

He would be taking over from the captain at a later stage of the journey.

aircraft they were flying was an 11-year-old Boeing 757.

The 757 was a modern aircraft in 1996 and it had an excellent safety record.

However, this particular plane had been on the ground at Puerto Plata for the 20 days before the flight, and in that time it had developed a critical weakness.

At just after half past 11 local time, flight 301 pushed back from the gate at Puerto Plata, and the 176 passengers settled in for the long journey.

As it was nighttime, the crew would have to rely entirely on their instruments to chart their course out north over the Atlantic.

As advanced an aircraft as the Boeing 757 was, the most important instruments in the cockpit were still the most basic ones.

These were the ADI, or Attitude Direction Indicator, which showed the pilots the plane's position relative to the horizon, as in whether the plane is pitching up or down, and whether it's turning left or right.

The flag carrier says it has invested over 2 billion Singapore dollars in its next-generation long-haul first class, business class, premium economy class, and economy class cabin products as part of the move.

The products will be rolled out progressively from the second half of 2027 on the airline's 41 retrofitted Airbus A350-900 long haul and ultra-long-range aircraft, as well as on its new Boeing 777-9 aircraft.

And I had the chance to find out all about the new offerings in a media briefing held ahead of the launch at the SIA Training Center, where I also spoke with Lee Lik Hsin, Chief Commercial Officer of Singapore Airlines.

And here's what you can expect on some SIA flights next year.

From new cabin products, enhanced dining offerings, and even upgraded airport lounges, the new SIA experience covers all parts of a traveler's journey.

On the hard product front, its all new Boeing 777-9s will feature all four new cabin products, namely first class, business class, premium economy class, and economy class.

Its 41 retrofitted A350-900 long haul and A350-900 ultra-long-range aircraft, meanwhile, will be equipped with new business class seats.

The first class cabin will also be introduced on its A350-900 ultra-long-range fleet for the first time.
