    Boeing engineers traced the leak to a flange.

    I expected software issues, maybe avionics, but a flange? How.

      It’s Boeing. Instead of making an aircraft that actually flew well, they designed an entire extra system that pretends to react like the plane doesn’t react, and then that system FORCIBLY NOSEDIVES PLANES randomly.

      I’m almost surprised it’s not something more stupid.
