Boeing’s
Max 8 (The Coffin Maker)
It’s
quite frugal on the fuel
Boeing’s
plane, the Max 8
Renamed
the “coffin maker”
After
crashing twice of late
With
its complicated software
And its
balance all awry
Time
for it be dismantled
With a
tear from either eye
Chorus
Can we disregard “persuasion”
Will an upgrade do the trick?
Some admit to cutting corners
And consequently feeling sick
When a plane is prone to stalling
And its sensors can’t be trusted
Then a better plane is needed
Than a turkey that is busted
We need a plane without software to fix a fault
Plus a patch for when the pilot feels distraught.
2
It relies a lot on sensors
And software that is hidden
In the worst case scenario
Pilot input is forbidden
When the sensors lose position
Then the software serves a lie
And the people smell a coffin
That is flying in the sky
Chorus
Mad Max is entertaining
After buying snacks to eat
The violence cannot hurt you
From the safety of your seat
But the Max 8 is for flying
Hidden software helps it out
With input from two sensors
(Clever stuff without a doubt)
Save for two planes that became metallic coffins
To be ignored by Boeing’s latest software boffins.

Boeing knew the Max 8
Was in fact a bitch to fly
It required a programmer
To stop it stalling in the sky
So software was provided
And some sensors hid away
And hey presto, the illusion
That this plane is all okay
Chorus
Can we disregard “persuasion”
Will an upgrade do the trick?
Some admit to cutting corners
And consequently feeling sick
When a plane is prone to stalling
And its sensors can’t be trusted
Then a better plane is needed
Than a turkey that is busted
We need a plane without software to fix a fault
Plus a patch for when the pilot feels distraught.
4
Boeing made heaps money
With new orders flooding in
No mention of the software
Like it was a rubbish bin
Many pilots have been speaking
Of their problems with this plane
Can we trust its software update
Not to fall from grace again?
Chorus
Mad Max is entertaining
After buying snacks to eat
The violence cannot hurt you
From the safety of your seat
But the Max 8 is for flying
Hidden software helps it out
With input from two sensors
(Clever stuff without a doubt)
Save for two planes that became metallic coffins
To be ignored by Boeing’s latest software boffins.
The
End
