What's the current thinking on Vince Weldon's "danger danger" alarms? He's anything but a crackpot - worked on the 727 flap system, Apollo CSM engine thrust structure, and Shuttle structures - IOW he knows structures! However Boeing fired him, and there is the possibility that he was just being old and cranky - however I have the utmost faith in engineers, and he's been a good one. What say ye?
Mr. Weldon Boeing's M. Jacquet? Oui? Non? Peut-etre?
