From the engineers or test pilots’ perspective when anything goes wrong in the early service of any new aircraft and nobody is hurt every such incident represents invaluable knowledge which will allow them to refine the design or procedures associated with it.

Such incidents are therefore to be welcomed not wailed about on the internet.

It may be hard on the commercial and PR folk but it leads in the long term to a really well sorted aircraft.
