This is making the news since it's another Boeing issue, but it seems like any issue with a 757 at this point would be from improper maintenance, right?

And we’ve now reached the stage where the media is using Boeing for clickbait. Hopefully no actual news about Boeing comes out because people will not be paying attention.

> Wheels falling off planes is "actual news."
Yes, on AV Herald. Planes break quite regularly, AV Herald has no shortage of things to write about. It's not worthy of the evening news, and especially unworthy of Hacker News. But "Boeing" drives clicks here too, because it tickles the inner monkey of a lot of people.

What I do not understand is the corner cutting. Why not lobby instead for a standardized QA by law for all plane producers. Costs that apply to all equally become invisible to the market?

There's always stuff happening in the world of flight - It's occasionally interesting to peruse the Aviation Herald (https://avherald.com/) to see just what's happened recently.

The Boeing rot surely have spread to the after market org. to.
Boeing could very well wreck old good designs. Like, why assume it isn't the case?
No, its done by the airline or a contractor.
We've now reached the stage where accusations of clickbait became just as meaningless as accusations of fake news.

The media always uses nearly everything for clickbait.
Also this is a maintenance issue?
