How Did a Boeing Jet End Up with a Big Hole?

I know talking about the mechanics of the page is discouraged, but I can&#x27;t resist pointing out that those animated mechanical diagrams are very informative and easy to understand.<p>Normally I hate anything moving on a page, but these are great.

A lot of talk about the loss of engineering culture at Boeing. Years ago I was doing a research project on data interoperability and learned that each jet Boeing produces relies on over 200 different software programs. That probably isn&#x27;t surprising, until I clarify that I literally mean <i>each jet</i>. As in every single jet assembled has its own unique software stack. It may have been the most challenging data interoperability problem I ever heard of, and I did hundreds of interviews across dozens of industries.<p>So yeah, lots of places to hide laziness.... And near impossible to have cross domain programmatic checks.

boeing has replaced the enginneers and &quot;engineering and safety quality first&quot; by MBA whose motto is &quot;MOAR MONEY&quot;<p>another example of short-term benefits, making shareholder happy and MBA getting nice bonuses, ending up with destroyed planes, killed people, and a reputation in the gutter.<p>another one to add to the already thousand-lines long list of MBA and short-term stupid people only interested by money achievements.
