Boeing 777X - What's the Difference?

I was in the Boeing Everett Factory waiting for the Boeing 777-9 first take-off. However, due to strong wind and inclement weather, the first flight was to be postponed by 2 days.
The Boeing 777-9, registration N779XW, finally took off on 25th January 2020 at 10:09, under the command of Captain Van Chaney. It flew in the air for 3 hours and 51 minutes before returning to land at Boeing Field at 14:00.
This video shares with you all the things you need to know about the B777x. The orders from the nine customers around the world, the specifics, the cockpit, the cabin design and the test record of the Boeing 777x. The Boeing 777x is powered by the GE9X engine, which recently set a world record of generating 134,000 lbs of thrust.

Would appreciate if you could do an updated review of the accidents after a full report gets finalized. And find out what happened or didn’t happen in the cockpit.

Instead he got to meet Glenn Farley, our local news aviation expert who ended up interviewing my son for the news!!!

[@kyekyeeminah8734]

@ON YOUR ASS , how could the pilots be blamed when Boeing admitted that they didn't inform the foreign customers as the simulator training would have made the plane more expensive to buyers? I've followed this case closely because I worked briefly for a company that provided parts for Boeing planes here in the States. I can't say much due to it confidentiality reasons but the deceased pilots are not to blame. Boeing concealed information from them.

[@kyekyeeminah8734]

@ON YOUR ASS , how would the pilots train for the new system when the seller of the aircraft didn't make them aware? If you buy a new product without a manual wouldn't you assume it works the same way as similar ones you used in the past? The fact that no US pilots did not crash was just the luck of the draw. If they kept flying the max 8 it was bound to happen sooner or later unless Boeing conveniently trained US pilots in flight simulators while telling other foreign buyers no new training was required. With the way you're talking you should have been at the Senate hearing defending Boeing as you seem to know more than the CEO who was fired for gross incompetence.🤦‍♂️🤔
