Jose Zamora Yrala should be strapped to the fusilage of a good sized drone (made with real parts) and flown into the face of a cliff somewhere in remote Utah or Arizona.

China would have already executed him by now.

So the airline CEOs are telling us they bought parts for jets, from a mostly-fictitious company based in London, which got put on an "approved vendor" list

without so much as a VISIT from the airline maintenance department to physically check them out?

I don’t think the bolts sheered. They actually sheared. Look it up in yer Funk & Wagnall’s. You’ll only get a B+ for today’s lesson, instead of the A you would’ve gotten.

From 2008...

Fake Parts in U.S. Aircraft? Inside the Air Force reported in late March on a problem vexing the U.S. military — fake parts showing up in depots and finding their way into Air Force and Navy aircraft. An unknown number of counterfeit aircraft parts are being fastened into U.S. military weapon systems after infiltrating supply depots, posing new safety risks […]

We’ve never heard of a Secretary of Transportation until Buttigieg!

For me, not since Federico Pena and the ValueJet crash.

I did a simple Google and Bing search on "Buttigieg" in the news section for the past 24 hours, and Buttigieg has not made a single statement about this problem.

He should have been in front of the cameras by noon this morning.

I was going to say, every part in a plane is identified and numbered. And every numbered part has a supplier. And every supplier has a source, and originator for the physical part. Failing bolts or any other part can be traced back to its origins, even if the last stop is a corrupt supplier in Shanghai with a backyard steel mill making pot-metal parts.
