bigjsl , 1 month ago @arstechnica like engines, planes have two wings, so if one falls off there is always the other one to keep the plane in the air.

WagesOf , 1 month ago @arstechnica so the whole fleet is grounded for complete recertification now? The FAA becomes responsible for any accidents at this point if they don't take action.

artemesia , 1 month ago @arstechnica Why does boeing's executive management still have a job? Meanwhile, boeing has lost $1.5 bil so far on their crewed spaceflight vehicle, starliner. Though to be fair this week's scrub was due to the Atlas rocket, which is ULA, not boeing.
