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.
- avgDev 3y agoFair assessment. Most likely a maintenance issue.
- AdamJacobMuller 3y agoThat 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.
