China Airlines

"And incidentally is also a timely reminder to avoid ever booking a flight on China Airlines again"

As I understand it, the China Airlines fire was caused when a loose slat fairing bolt pierced the slat-can which caused the fuel leak. This turned out to be a problem caused by poor production build at Boeing, and resulted in an Alert Service Bulletin being issued affecting B737-NG operators worldwide.

I don't think China Airlines were culpable in any way?
