Some thoughts
What we appear to know :
-low hr low cycle aircraft
-low pressure differential
-no passenger (fumbling) next to the door
-escape door blown out (photos from in and outside needed to know what went with it)…
What we do not exactly know in this thread or ever:
-the exact configuration(s) of a deactivated door and its mounting and cabin interior… (which includes the way it was designed AND engineered)…
-which configuration actually was in place ..
-the manufacturing and installation procedures, and if these have been changed much, and if there is a difference between the MAX 8,9,10,7…
- if procedures where followed (parts required, tooling required, could procedure be followed… did they (need) to force anything to install…)
The loss of Safety Culture and level of QC/QA standards at Boeing will take years to rebuild (consultants often use 10 years for that) … investigation in this failure may shed a light on if Boeing (and FAA) have really started with this process.
