Really? The body isn’t even cold yet and you’re trying to figure out who to blame?
Sure, I’ll play along. Yes, it could have been defective Chinese steel. Or maybe the Russians hacked the engine. Or maybe the Muslims sabotaged it somehow. I think that covers the major boogeymen. Perhaps we should move on to the minor ones?
Yeah, I got ahead of it, by design. There’s not much to discuss with such a tragedy, so I decided to plug the PRC Chinese who are truly devious anyway. I’m not ashamed. Discuss the downside of Chinese steel, it’s legit to do that. We’ll see what NTSB comes up with.
But I stand by the claim that maintenance programs are required to replace parts precisely for reasons such as what possibly caused this, and yes defectively composed and tempered steel can cause a failure regardless.
Ditto that post..............
