From UFOs to psychic powers and government conspiracies history is riddled with unexplained events.

You can turn back now or learn the stuff they don't want you to know.

A production of I-Heart Radio. Hello, welcome back to the show. My name is Matt. My name is Noel. They call me Ben.

We're joined as always with our super producer Paul Mission Control Decent.

Most importantly, you are you, you are here.

That makes this the stuff they don't want you to know.

I was thinking we begin tonight's episode an update on disappearing planes with a lovely piece of

correspondence we received from fatigue and flying. Weirdly enough, I don't want to say it's in defensive Boeing, but I think it's a good

entry point for us. Fatigue to fly and says, how do you all? I am fatigued and flying here. I'm way behind unfortunately but catching up.

I want to make sure something's clear here. Do not conflate airline maintenance issues

with Boeing failures. The real stuff they don't want you to know is there's been an uptick in airline maintenance issues to the point I'm getting stories from captains regarding flagrant disregard of maintenance at a certain airline.

Yet the airlines can publicly turn around and blame Boeing. Things

like a wheel falling off. That's a maintenance issue, not a Boeing issue. I would not be

surprised to see an FAA investigation by the end of the year keep the

dirty side down fatigued flying.

I don't know that expression but I think I like it.

I mean that makes sense these planes go through so much wear and tear and they're not

like guaranteed to be impenetrable you know you have to change the oil on your car

and that's not the responsibility of your car's manufacturer is it you know

got to get new tires rotate your tires and all of that it makes sense that would be kind of an easy

scapegoat you know again not in defensive blowing.

They definitely made some serious oopsies,
