Boeing identified badly installed rivets and returned the job of replacing them to Spirit. By the “rules” the fuselage had not been accepted by Boeing and was Spirit’s problem to deal with. Boeing never does anything to that door on their factory floor and has no process to deal with it. 

That task was almost certainly done by Spirit Aerosystems workers as part of their reworking the rivets. Spirit Aerosystems identified three contract workers they hired as the ones who did the rivet re-work. It is possible they, in turn, asked for help from other contract workers.

None of the weekend roundup seem to offer commenting.

He had an actual boarding pass, apparently for a flight that was overbooked, and was screened for weapons. This isn’t a TSA failure. This is a technology failure that allows duplication of a QR code by a moron with a phone to use as a boarding pass. 

In DC there are traffic circles that often enough had a lawn decoration consisting of a car missing the suspension. Just need to dial in the decorative stone work appropriately so the vehicle skids to a stop on its belly. I think a large water feature with a 12 inch deep pond over most of it might also be a help.

I always add soap flakes so Cilantro lovers don’t feel left out.

The wings are always in the same place. It’s the seats that vary in location.

The sad part is if he had called from his home or hotel and told his company that he was drunk, they would have diverted him to an alcohol treatment program and, on successful completion, he would still have a job.

WHOOSH!

Do you think she’ll have a shot at early parole? 

She did load it with live ammunition and she failed to check properly that it was only dummy rounds. Not sure why the prosecution didn’t present these as clearly inseparable events.

That was as far from “making out” as possible. It was rape by a person with telekinesis.

Cop on cop violence is like a bum fight without the ethical problems.

People who don’t pay a small amount of taxes ruin their lives.

I was on a divided, limited access highway - three lanes in each direction. No expectation that any cow would be there. Didn’t even know it was a cow until I got close to the black lump.

Wait until you see what the Tooth Fairy makes with all those teeth. 

A diplomat literally can. Of course their home country may take some action on their own by calling them home and putting them in prison over there, so most are motivated not to kill anyone. But for traffic tickets? There are some NYC embassies that have run hundreds of thousands of dollars in parking and other fines…

Free vacation!

In this case it’s both. They are as delusional as can be and are sitting in the same end of the pool as flat Earthers and hollow Earthers. The train has left the station but their car wasn’t attached.
