Episode Transcript
So John Oliver on his HBO show, I didn't see this,
but I saw a clip on YouTube.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
This is kind of funny.
Speaker 3 (00:06):
Boe CEO Dave Calhoun was quick to take responsibility's saying
Boeing is accountable, but when pressed on exactly what had
taken place, had an odd response.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
How did an unsafe airplane fly in the first place?
Speaker 4 (00:19):
Because a quality escape occurred?
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Can you explain what is a quality escape?
Speaker 4 (00:26):
I think that's for description of what people are finding
in their inspections, anything that could potentially contribute to an accident.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
What quality didn't escape a part of the plane did?
That's a terrible answer when you asked how an unsafe
plane flew in the first place. We need more information
than essentially the plane was unsafe. Yeah, everybody knows that
there's a hole in.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
The side of it.
Speaker 5 (00:55):
But I can't believe with the pr disaster Boeing is
in maybe the worst one I've ever seen from major
American company. He didn't have something better to than some
wrote corporate speak, a quality escape occurred?
Speaker 2 (01:13):
What the hell?
Speaker 6 (01:16):
I think that's a great example of if you're in
a position like that, find somebody who you know will
tell you the truth. Somebody comes to me and says,
we're thinking of calling this a quality escape, Joe, what
do you think I would tell him?
Speaker 2 (01:32):
That's terrible. I'll tell you what I think.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
I think late night comics are going to mock us
over that phrase.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
That's what I think is gonna happen.
Speaker 6 (01:41):
I think that is hilariously stupid, Sir, A quality Are
you kidding me?
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Are you pulling this a joke? Right? Are you a jackass?
Say you're a jackass, sir. I would be.
Speaker 6 (01:53):
I'm willing to go to work for any major corporation
and fulfill that role.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Yeah, a quality escape. Great, A quality escape occurred. I
think that is clear.
Speaker 6 (02:04):
What that's not even orwellian because Orwell at least gave
credit to our would be oppressors that they would be
reasonably good at their jobs.
