Now it seems they found the door that flew off was MISSING 4 screws, not loose but never installed. Boing, Boing, gone🙂

Was part of your military career screwing in light bulbs too? You know what lose screws do?

They come out, so take that to the sun with your nuclear machines science boy..

Hey bright spark they can tell if a bolt or self tapping screw has never been used as opposed to one that was placed in and came out later.
You must find them science boys a bit intimidating huh

Ah, that was actually a PHILLIPS screwdriver, vodka and Pepto bismol🙂

I think I get the idea, but shouldn't it be a laxative instead of Pepto?

I saw that, the bolts were never installed.

The two companies that are involved in this, a manufacturer and an installer are in deep trouble
but Boeing - in the end,,, is the most responsible.

It's actually comforting that this was a mismanufacture case rather than a mid-design case. Mistakes in manufacturing happen (though of course the company is liable), but it would be much worse if it were a design flaw.

About 11 hours.

Longest flight I was ever on was ORD-HKG and then returning HKG-EWR (about 16 hours each). Flies right over the North Pole - cool in more ways than one.

Sunday I have TLV-ATH and then Monday ATH-FRA-EWR and then home. After almost 2 weeks away, I have to say I'm looking forward to it.

I have to say, Athens is a cool place. The whole downtown feels like one enormous bustling street bazaar (at least on a Sunday afternoon). Though, I'll observe that the homeless problem there seems every bit as bad as in major US cities.
