Holy shit. Thanks @pluralistic now I don't want to fly anymore 😱
Boeing's 787 "Dreamliner" is manufactured ... in a non-union shop in Charleston, South Carolina. At that shop, there is a cage full of defective parts that have been pulled from production because they are not airworthy.
Ah this is a return to traditional US manufacturing. In the good old days (1980s) when my father worked in the valley for a big, three letter company starting with G and ending with E, received parts from Fairchild or other component manufacturers, they’d test them all in a large on site facility.
Why? Because in those days, it was standard practice to mix 10% known failed parts into any shipment.
@Jennifer@pluralistic YIKES! It's fitting that Material Review Segregation Area shares its abbreviation with a deadly hard to treat infection: "Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus."
@5ciFiGirl@artlung@Jennifer@pluralistic@alex I would wait until we're up to at least three guys suicided before I start considering the possibility of it being enemy action. Yeah, definitely three.
