  1. Donations will be accepted by Boing Boing to make up for the revenue lost when using proper parts. 25 cents per plane will do.

  2. Can't really blame Boeing for this one.

    I like how the NTSB states: "the sudden rudder input could "unintentionally cause loss of control or departure from a runway""
    Duh. But so can a sudden gust of wind from the side or a blown tire.
    At this point it is getting stupid.

  3. When I worked for the UAW, I saw deliberate sabotage of auto parts. Why would I think Boing-boing's unions wouldn't be doing the same? That company sucks and the workers are mostly trapped and resentful. At least when I worked for them- can't imagine it's gotten better.

    1. From the article:
      The actuator was manufactured by Collins Aerospace, according to the NTSB
