Silly take. There is nothing wrong with the design of the door plug, which as I understand it is over twenty years old with no other reported failures. "Special care" is standard procedure in aviation.
By this logic the wings/engines/etc. are all faulty because if you don't install the bolts, they might fall off.
- amscanne 3y agoThe failure here is that the door was not reinspected after the bolts had been removed to “open” it. A reinspection would be required if had been “removed”, and I’d bet that wings are always inspected for proper construction and installation (because there’s no way to “open” the wings). I don’t believe the parent comment is saying the design is poor, it’s about the process during assembly and maintenance.

- djmips 3y agoOld, established design does not equal good. You should know that from the software world. It seems obvious now that a door plug design that has the same failsafe at pressure of the actual doors would be a good improvement.
