NTSB: Boeing hasn’t produced records on Alaska Airlines midair blowout
In a U.S. Senate hearing, the NTSB chair scathingly criticized Boeing for its lack of cooperation in the investigation of the Alaska Airlines midair door plug blowout.www.seattletimes.com

Second reminder, there is a whole political party that will tell you with a straight face that we need less regulation on businesses.

Gotta say, he seemed MUCH more prepared to discuss this topic than general newscasters. I like Jon’s show, but was still prepared for cringe-worthy aviation ignorance.
This segment was really well done.

Since they pulled clips from it, I'm going to guess he and his team pulled a lot from that documentary, which is fine since it was well done.

Another Max8 issue found.

Testing of the roll-out guidance servo removed from the 737 conducted on 28 February at Collins Aerospace’s facility in Iowa examined the potential effects of cold-soaking the components.
”Testing at room temperature found that the torque to rotate the servo’s output crank arm was within design specifications,” the agency says. The unit was then cold-soaked for 1h and re-tested, and investigators found ”that the torque to move the servo’s output crank arm was significantly beyond the specified design limits.” “
Cold-soaked servo could have led to ‘stuck’ rudder pedals on United 737 Max 8
Rudder pedals that became stuck in neutral position during the landing of a Boeing 737 Max 8 operated by United Airlines may have been related to a cold-soaked rudder roll-out guidance servo.

No those ones moved TOO much, this one doesnt move at all
For the uninitiated, Boeing killed 157 people in two accidents in the '91 and '94

Luckily the Eastwind crew was able to save the airplane and that's how they discovered what was wrong.

... and blamed the pilots.

I HAVE STRONG OPINIONS ABOUT AUTOMOTIVE LIGHTING!
I wonder if/when this same part started being used on 737NGs.
edit:
“Boeing said this is the only rudder-response issue reported on a Max, although two similar incidents happened in 2019 with an earlier model of the 737 called NG or next generation, which has the same rudder-pedal system.
The manufacturer said the issue was fixed by replacing three parts.”

Investigators say they confirmed pilots' account of a rudder-control failure on a Boeing Max jet
Federal investigators said Thursday they confirmed pilots' account of a brief failure of rudder controls on a Boeing 737 Max after it landed at Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey last month. United Airlines pilots said pedals that control rudder movement on the plane were stuck...

Hey, my little’s cousin’s husband has been an engineer there for quite a few years. I’ll have to ask him about this and if he took part in it

considering nobody went to jail for the coverup and obfuscation after the first two crashes, perhaps better late than never?
