A Little History
Doubters of the behaviour of Boeing/McDonnell-Douglas or whatever they´re calling themselves this year might like to obtain a copy of "Destination Disaster-The Rise and Fall of the DC-10" or carry out appropriate web research.
There they will discover evidence of the (alleged) falsification of factory records relating to modification of the DC10s cargo door latching systems, 1 airframe being the March 1974 THY disaster at Ermenonville out of Paris CDG killing hundreds.
Then go to bed and take your flight tomorrow, either as SLF or crew, safe in the knowledge that it could never happen again nor does big business behave in this apalling manner.
I seem to recall the early 747s were guilty of trying to fall apart at the junction of the fat bit at the front and the rest of the fuselage aft of frame#wotever.
Deja vu springs to mind as we try to pretend the "Titanic" will never happen again because we have the "procedures, quality systems, structures, supervisory processes etc" and a plethora of managementspeak bollox to prevent disaster.
Ultimately it´s the beancounters and the "bottom line" wallahs who reign supreme over safety. The NG issue sounds like the next episode of "The Tombstone Imperative", whether or not we can sleep easy with that thought!
