The wheels of the Boeing go round and round . . .

Vinny Gambini: Well, how could you be sure you used 16 foot-pounds of torque?

Mona Lisa Vito: Because I used a Craftsman model 1019 Laboratory Edition Signature Series torque wrench. The kind used by Caltech high energy physicists. And NASA engineers.

Nothing more than usual. FR just reports on every glitch to build a narrative.

All it take is one high profile incident and every media outlet starts to looks for more stories.

There are limits and work arounds that allow aircraft to continue to fly until parts and technicians can meet up at a good location for repairs. That's how it works.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Fortunately, I started my business travel back in that era.

[OSHA]

I leave Sunday on Delta to LHR.

I watch Ice Pilots on the weather channel from time to time. The idea that all the bolts and screws are in place is laughable.

[muir_redwoods]

I don’t blame Boeing for something like this. This is obviously a maintenance issue.

♫ You picked a fine time to leave me loose wheel... ♫

The guy who was supposed to tighten the bolts on the tire was watching LeBron on his little TV. He wanted to see how many he waas going to drop on the Celtics. He needs to pay more attention. Probably issued a verbal......
