Aircraft Part Failures

The wing was an exaggeration. Plenty of other critical parts could fall off.

Yes, but it's very long cycle failures at low frequency, and people suspect it's because of additional stress caused by winglets. Winglets reduce drag and save fuel, it's an important change. It may have been very difficult to predict and test this failure. And most importantly, the FAA and Boeing are handling it properly.

Every multi-engine airliner is designed to be able to take off safely even if an engine fails at a critical moment. What might have happened in this case is that the mechanism of failure of one engine caused damaged or interfered with the operation of another engine (via smoke, debris, etc.), and taking off with two engines degraded is not part of the design criteria.

Sounds more like a Customer Use Error. Speculation is that the panes only fell off during the takeoff roll/climbout so inspection wouldn't have caught it.

Very likely a maintenance-related issue, given the age of the plane.

Yeah cowlings are removed very regularly for maintenance and this plane is the previous model so it's bound to be a number of years old. That cowling will have been taken apart many times. Maintenance is more likely, or perhaps some foreign object impact.The MCAS issues and the poor QC on those plug bolts are unforgivable but it's too early to point the finger at Boeing for this.

A maintenance issue on a ten week old plane?

I don't think the wing fell off the plane and there are several types of failures which are distressing short of the wing falling off.

This sucks but it is not that big of a dealJet bridges can fail that way and doors get ripped off exactly to not make a bigger mess in that caseInsurance, maintenance, etc are all there for a reason. Plane should be back into service soon

Hoo boy, that could be dangerous if there's something physically wrong with the plane (a non-functional aileron or stabilator, for example).
