The report about the missing bolts wasn't surprising. I said and posted the exact same thing by watching a 25 second tiktok video.
Why it happened happens everyday across all industries. Boeing as the physical owner of the aircraft at the time failed as the dudes who did a closeout inspection. Spirit as the contractors said what do those Boeing fucks know. We fixed the repair. We reinstalled the outer cover and bolted it in. New Boeing guy comes in and says well they installed the door. They must have reinstalled the bolts. Looks good to me.
In oil and gas, the work in confined spaces stuff like that I bet occurs often than not. A guy enters the space to do a repair. He leaves. Says I'm done. Confined space dude said well he's done. Let's close the vessel out. 3 hours later QA guy comes and says hey I need to QA this. Other shift says they bolted up that space someone else must have already done it. QA guy says well shit, if they closed it up it must be done. QA guy leaves for a different project. Documentation is so fucking important but people aren't willing to open stuff up again because of time constraints and rework which leads to shit like this.
China might end up sinking that ship. They told Iran to tell the Houthis to knock that shit out. Iran told the Chinese they don't control the Houthis. China is pissed that their costs for shipping has gone up 3-4x since this shit started and it's wrecking shop on their economy
Lack of experience. Lack of training. Lack of oversight. Lack of giving a fuck. Lack of accountability. They probably had a pretty robust procedure at one point, then some bean counter eliminated the step to save time. Dudes who had experience kept doing it. Experienced dude quit/retired/ laid off. Fresh dude from the union came in. Did what procedure said. Asked if that was how it was done. Supervisor said if that's what the procedure says then do it. No one actually knew any better so they kept doing it.

Read the headline wrong. Was more sensational than it read. They are just trying to sanction West Bank Israeli settlers for inciting violence. My bad

That is fucking awesome. She even gets to retire with a full federal pension.
Yeesh if we are being bitches about flying F-18s against a bunch of amateurs then that definitely means we don't have the resolve to launch airstrikes against Iran. If we are being that big of bitches. Just bring everyone home
