The fact they took it to some testing facility to test for cyclic fatigue shows that they understood that it was an unknown in the design, decided to test it at a facility designed for exactly that, it failed so they redesigned presumably with a design to mitigate the failures of design one. They probably took design two through the same testing process, and presumably it passed or they wouldn't have paying guests in it.

This sounds like the engineering process going right.

Agreed. The only issue would be if they never re-tested the redesign, but that would be quite unreasonable and they would deserve the lawsuits.

No coincidence the company is in Everett. LinkedIn shows lots of people overlap with Boeing. Also the CEO built his own composite airplane while an undergrad at Princeton.

It's completely unclear how that is "no coincidence" or how that is at all relevant.

the joke, you see, is that there must be something in the water or other environmental factor in the area that causes gross negligence toward commercial vessels
