We trust the science which says that air pressure over the leading edge of a wing can support a giant passenger plane across thousands of miles of sky.
We trust that the design which shapes the plane matches the needs of this mysterious science.
We trust that the aircraft's manufacturer follows this meticulous design to the very letter.
And we trust that the official regulatory agencies have fulfilled their side of the bargain by monitoring and policing every step of that process - from drawing board to airport runway.

Yusuf Ak: Apparently some of the boeing planes we're only 8 years old. The manufacturing process according to the documentary is seriously flawed. Sometimes we degrade the status of Eastern countries, namely our home countries and compare them to the western ones. This documentary proves that there is no reason to inflate the reputation of the west. Because they are corrupt just as well as some of the Eastern countries.

Yusuf Ak: The difference is, they dominate the world in every aspect.
Yusuf Ak 'Air travel is a question of trust.
We trust the science which says that air pressure over the leading edge of a wing can support a giant passenger plane across thousands of miles of sky.
We trust that the design which shapes the plane matches the needs of this mysterious science.
We trust that the aircraft's manufacturer follows this meticulous design to the very letter.
And we trust that the official regulatory agencies have fulfilled their side of the bargain by monitoring and policing every step of that process - from drawing board to airport runway.
But what happens if that trust is shaken?'
