Tire falls off Boeing 777 United flight departing SFO, crushing several vehicles
abc7news.comSeems like for once Boeing wasn't at fault:
> John Cox, a retired pilot and professor of aviation safety at the University of Southern California, agreed. "I don't see any impact for Boeing as it was a United maintenance team that changed the tire," he said.
This could just be availability bias but man if it doesn't seem like Boeing has some sort of quality issue every other week.
Maintenance quality could be the next big aviation scandal. Offshore maintenance depots, outsourcing, etc. So much "normalization of deviance" in the name of cost optimization in safety-critical areas.
