A lot of that stuff is deeply hidden and it’s depot level maintenance where the non-destructive maintenance takes place, like X-Ray or Magnaflux tests looking for micro-cracks in the wing box and wing spars. That failure over St. Louis was extraordinary.

After looking up the event, I’m amazed the pilot survived.
