Carriers that fly the 737NG (not MAX) are finding that the component that holds the wings to the fuselage is cracking much sooner than advertised by Boeing.

Unless grasshoppers are eating those components, that isn't relevant here at all.


This grasshopper incident could have happened to any airplane, regardless of manufacturer or model. But the 737 has been making the headlines a disproportionate amount of the time recently, and mostly for reasons that are Boeing's fault.


Yeah. And the only things those other stories share with this one is "737". And, as you said, this incident could have happened to any airplane. So your bringing up the NG wing part issue is completely irrelevant here. It looks like someone just looking for a chance to rip Boeing.
