Then why are they grounding the planes? Are they fools?

  No. An individual airline or two didn't handle things right. Boeing didn't screw up, and it's completely unrelated to the whole MAX thing. Similar issues exist for Airbus. Aluminum cracks.

    Yes, metal cracks and Boeing provides service intervals to inspect various pieces of the airframe. These cracks are appearing sooner than expected. The pickle fork is a critical piece of airframe - if it cracks badly, the wings come off. Grounding the planes is the correct action in this situation.

    No one is relating this article or what they are talking about to MAX/MCAS, you're the only one bringing it up. The article even mentions "The new problem is distinct from Boeing's ongoing crisis over its 737 Max planes"

      "Fresh" is right in the headline, and MCAS is in the article more than once. Gimme a break.
