On May 26th, it was reported that on May 23rd, an American Airlines Boeing 737 aircraft bound for Costa Rica experienced a power failure at Miami Airport, leading passengers to disembark twice and be stranded in the sweltering cabin for over an hour.

During the lengthy wait, passengers were informed of the aircraft's power issues and had to switch to another plane to continue their journey. The flight was ultimately delayed for five hours before taking off.

Some passengers reported that after boarding for the second time, the cabin temperature rose abnormally to an uncomfortable 35 degrees Celsius.

In response, American Airlines has stated that they will conduct a thorough investigation into the incident to ensure the safety and comfort of passengers.

Not long ago, Singapore Airlines flight SQ321 from London to Singapore also encountered severe turbulence, forcing an emergency landing at Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok, Thailand, resulting in one fatality and 30 injuries.

In recent years, the frequent quality issues and accidents involving Boeing aircraft have raised widespread concerns. In April alone this year, Boeing aircraft have been involved in multiple incidents, intensifying the controversy over their quality.

As a result, Boeing's stock price has been continuously declining, with a cumulative drop of nearly 30% since the beginning of the year, causing a market capitalization loss of about 400 billion RMB. This market performance undoubtedly reflects serious doubts in the market regarding the quality of Boeing's products and its competitiveness. s_a8d9cf5d7eb24aa0a4233986e0c0352a.jpg
