You do know that the 737 fuselage isn't actually made by Boeing, right? Hasn't been for about 20 years (it's made by Spirit in Wichita).
I wonder how many aircraft flying around today
can go down a 50 ft. embankment without breaking the fuselage...
Hull loss accident rates (through 2018):
737NG (-6/7/8/900) - hull loss 0.19, fatal hull loss 0.08
A320 series (A318/19/20/21) - hull loss 0.19, fatal hull loss 0.09
(numbers are per million departures)
Now, those numbers have probably changed in the last couple years, but are you honestly suggesting that an aircraft that has been in service for over two decades somehow became inherently unsafe in the last two years?
