We'll have to wait for a full analysis first. However, Boeing is known for having lackluster quality control that has led to accidents in the past. If the company is indeed responsible for the crash, I fear that the current UD regime will likely do everything within its power to shield it from consequences.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Good luck. To this day, the Indian government hasn't been able to hold Union Carbide, another American company, for the tragedy in Bhopal in 1984. They will fail with Boeing too. India is too weakened by corruption to do anything meaningful in the world. Indians do okay abroad but their own country drags them down.
Given how long this plane was in service (over 10 years), it's going to be harder to prove fault is on Boeing here.
My guess is that it was an actual accident with no one really at fault, or it was some issue with maintenance on the aircraft. But I'm not aerospace engineer.
This is the second time I'm reading this kind of logic (about service time).
10 years is nothing for an aircraft. This is almost the best span during its lifetime – when you have the experience with both the model and the particular unit.
To quote Airbus:
As commercial aircraft spend 30-plus years in operational service, Airbus takes the long-term view in accompanying the aircraft it produces throughout their lifetime – enabling operators to maximise performance and minimise costs, while also contributing to the overall sustainability of air transportation.
30-plus. Not less than 10.
It could be bad maintenance, for sure. But it could also be just Boeing again.
10+ years is firmly in the territory of where the condition of an airplane depends on the quality of airline maintenance. Now, it could of course still be a catastrophic problem (or a sequence of problems) that has been there since Boeing built the plane and didn’t make itself known in the millions of flights conducted on the 1200+ 787s flying for almost 15 years now… we’ll have to wait and see. CVR and FDR should give clear answers.
The whole thing is just really weird. Something like that should not be possible, even on a Boeing plane.
I have a feeling they may not like what they find
Are they going to find a dead whistleblower? 😄
they were trapped haunting the boeing space shuttle.
I can’t rule anything out at this point in this timeline.
