I’d be curious to hear from our resident pilots on this one regarding if there are certain allowances for X number of bolts to be missing while retaining integrity of that part of the plane etc. … surely there’s redundancy built into the design.
I've watched enough plane disasters shows on smithsonian channel to know that every part and piece is needed. Watched one where the bolts that were replaced on some part were a different thread spacing, and it eventually led to the plane crashing down.
FAA and air flight now is truly a gamble. This sort of shite should have been spotted by the pilot and maintenance crews before and after every flight.
Not to mention the diversity requirements that ensure the least qualified will be putting several tons of metal in the sky.

I’m all for the meritocracy, but the rush to blame every incident on DEI is just as cringeworthy as DEI itself. And we aren’t even sure that this is a newsworthy incident.

You probably should have left that part out. Maybe the whole post for that matter.
