There is an issue as to why the pieces fell off, the a/c had a single system hydraulic failure on the previous flight which resulted in the loss of nose wheel steering. While this in itself is not a huge problem, the engineers did subsequently inspect the a/c and allegedly performed some work on one of the engines...........
Well that kind of human error happens and fortunately the aircraft has a degree of tolerance. Adding in the risk of another aircraft taking off striking it is another higher level risk.

So... I have lots of additional questions, but I'll let the NTSB handle it.
