From yesterday (4/26) - looks like another failure of maintenance teams, leading to parts falling off airplanes.

Don’t blame Boeing...the poor maintenance of airlines today is catching up with them.

But the headline writers gotta get "Boeing" in there.

Absolutely. It points toward the Didn't Earn It (DEI) maintenance contractors that hire incompetent technicians, and then don't check their work.

The emergency slides are inside the doors/hatches, so they couldn’t “fall off” in the air.

I wonder if it was an "overwing" deployment emergency slide.

This picture shows a slide that's to the rear of the emergency hatch. Passengers would exit the emergency hatch over the wing, walk on the slide to the edge of the wing, and then slide down.

The slide that fell off was the right wing emergency exit slide, located on the wing outside the window emergency exit. Pretty big deal, actually, and it has happened before.

The Deep State still thinks there’s a chance Trump will get sidelined and Haley will get installed. Then when she runs they’ll use her time at Boeing to sink her campaign.
