Boeing once again screws up, covers up or fails in its job to protect the public or enhance its product. That UPS crash where the engine detached? Boeing basically said that you should watch for cracks but they are not an issue. They were aware of the issue and sent out a paper saying to look for the cracks and said they had replacement parts but if you read the report it does not state when the part should be replaced.

Tim Atkinson, a former air accident investigator who now works as an aviation safety consultant, said the NTSB's update made disturbing reading.

"The structure concerned is not decorative, it's an essential part of the mechanism that attaches the engine to the wing, and carries loads such as thrust and drag," he explained.

"It's extraordinary that Boeing concluded that a failure of this part would not have safety consequences," he claimed.
