To be fair, the 737 NG fiasco that preceded it isn't well known and it's unknowable how many excess deaths it caused or will cause because there are planes flying around with substandard structural components.

It's hard to take the article seriously, when it claims pictures of 737s breaking from same points as evidence of substandard components. There will be always weakest points in the fuselage, which give away first when you crash the plane. I think the Turkish airlines in particular stayed intact surprisingly well, considering how it was stalled and fell like a rock.
