Boeing just cannot catch a break. I'm honestly not sure how common these accidents are normally and media is just paying attention but it is not looking good for Boeing.

That landing gear has very likely had wheels on and off the aircraft dozens of times prior to this failure. The chance that this is (actually, not perception) a Boeing problem versus a maintenance problem is pretty remote.

  Fair assessment. Most likely a maintenance issue.

    That doesn't absolve Boeing of responsibility here. Boeing develops and maintains the specifications for repair and maintenance work as well as criteria for replacement parts. If United deviated from Boeing procedures or intervals when doing the work, or their supplier deviated in producing the product which caused the failure, that is not on Boeing. If the specifications (for repair work, or maintenance intervals, or replacement parts) were deficient, that falls on Boeing.

Wheels falling off... controls all dying at once while a plane drops 500 feet in altitude for no reason...door plug flying off while things are sucked out of the plane. Hundreds of people dead because a "smart" control reading from a singular failed sensor (because multiple sensors was a value add) pushed the plane into a dive to hard for pilot to pull out of unless he immediately recognizes that the plane is trying to murder everyone and disables a feature he hasn't been trained on. None of this is normal. If you look at the price its probably based almost entirely on the presumption that Boeing is too big to fail and will be given as much time as required to fix its problems because its hard and long for its few competitors to pick up its slack but it could easily be more painful than is expressed in its price.

this is a week old. Nothing new happened this week.
