How about those lazy entitled folks build better airplanes that won't crash?

@2uct+156q7qTA Sure is. The plane is lacking in maneuverability.

By the logic used on this site, this must be Boeing's fault too

Boeing is the worst airplane maker.

It's not a panel. Do you know what a dorsal fin is and why it is in the 737-800 and not in the original 737? Do you know the size of it? A"panel" you said. You have not a clue what you are talking about.

@1kwt+156q7qTA. Per the post below, that aircraft has been in service for over 20 years. That aircraft has been through several heavy checks where that panel came off. Sorry, it's doubtful this one is Boeing's fault.

If it was a new airplane, I'd be right there with you.

But here, its gonna be a nope from me dog

An access fairing you say? Give me a break. Yeah those two on the LHS are damaged too from the fin flying towards it (no sh–) but the whole dorsal fin is gone and that thing is bolted to the vertical stabilizer and to the fuselage frames. All attachments are gone. Bird strike? Sure. The problem is that that part may never be found so you can spin it all day. That component is detached clean at two different locations. Bunch of inepts I repeat.

An airplane that has been in service for years and worked on who knows how many times.

It's an access fairing they fell off that again has been accessed who knows how many times. But if course, its gotta be Boeing's fault.

Great click bait.

Wow. The dorsal fin assembly is what? 2'x6'x18'? That's a big part that fell from the sky while flying over very populated areas. It could have k–led somebody. This is insane
