9 News: A Qantas flight from Townsville to Brisbane dropped thousands of metres in a few minutes due to a depressurisation issue. 
QF1871 departed at 8.50am today Sep 17, 24) but, about 20 minutes into the flight, the pilot soon received an indication alerting them to an issue.

Tried searching if QF 1871 was a Boeing, out of curiosity, but in a bunch of similar stories, it's not disclosed who made it.

Pilot announcement: Just to keep you in the loop, passing about 29,000 feet we lost pressurisation.

The pilot then executed an emergency descent to the nearest airport.

Just to keep the public in the loop, why did the plane lose pressurization? Why is the media keeping the maker a secret?

AI systems entail a lot of inter-dependent moving parts to make up a virtually driverless airplane. All working well, it might be brilliant, but if one of those parts goes AWOL, it has potential to crash the whole show, literally if it's a plane - which has already happened.

There appears to be a link between what's going on with Boeing & the rise of AI in general. A key part of this is that no-one is ever held responsible - which is asking for trouble. At that point, there's no way back.
