It's not that the planes developed a safety problem - it's that we learned that the wires being that close is a bad idea and that all planes built after we realized that should not make the same mistake.
No, I didn't. That's what Boeing claims by attempting to extrapolate the safety record of a plane built under previous Boeing management who had safety as priority one to the safety record of the current plane built under Boeing/McDonnell management that prioritized money over safety.
The problem is that the previous wiring might be safe given that all the surrounding systems are also built to the same safety standard as the previous 737. Unfortunately, we have plenty of evidence that the surrounding systems probably are not built to the same standard.
In addition, the airplanes responsible for this rule coming into being didn't have a safety problem either--until they suddenly did.
