loma,
The part smashed a window on a vehicle. What would be the result of a human interface? Landing in a highly populated urban area? Couple that with a history of failures with apparently no sucess.
The reality is the number of instances where the panels have come off. It appears that sometime multiples in a single day, at ONE airport. According to mx personnel, this has been a problem for some time.
Liability, coupled with history of failure. Had the panel injured the occupants of the vehicle, either physically or mentally, the investigation would find that this was a known, recuring issue, that Boeing was very well aware of, and decided, for whatever reason, not to remedy, but simply to fix on occurance.
That equals $$$$$$$
