I mean. I am going by wikipedia here but most of the things you've said in this subthread seem to be inaccurate. It wasn't the original 737. It wasn't the NG. And most of the accidents you've listed were not caused by that particular rudder design problem (as far as I can tell, 3 were, maybe?). You keep adding new inaccurate things without the slightest acknowledgement you might have misremembered or misstated something before.

  Well, Wikipedia is where I got those 7 accidents moron. It took me 5 minutes of research. ALL WERE ATTRIBUTED TO RUDDER PROBLEMS! Big deal NG vs Original, if we're being specific there are actually 10 versions of the 737. The point is still the same, they had a critical flaw and overcame it. Is that too complicated for you to understand or do you want to debate Airplane versions because you think that makes you smart?

    The five minutes seem to have been inadequate because a bunch of these explicitly say they were not conclusively attributed to that specific problem. Copa Airlines Flight 201 "but after an exhaustive and extensive inquiry, they concluded that the crash was caused by faulty attitude indicator instrument readings." China Southern Airlines Flight 3943 "CAAC blame the pilots for improper response to an autothrottle malfunction. " Silkair Flight 185 "The NTSB's report found that there was sufficient evidence to rule out mechanical failure (based on examinations of the suspected PCU/dual-servo unit recovered from the SilkAir crash), and that the probable cause of the accident was "intentional pilot action" by a pilot" And so on.
