Poor Boeing. They just can't catch a break...

I hope this is sarcasm cause in no way Boeing is ‘poor’. There is a duopoly of aircraft and doesn’t matter what reputation Boeing gets, the orders will keep coming in. If your airline cancels an order 5 others are waiting to take your spot.

Maybe they should do some more stock buybacks and then ask the fed for a bailout.

Boeing are a welfare company - they would not exist without their close relationship with the government and the taxpayer dollars that are funnelled to them.

Competent competition would eat them alive, if competition were permissible in the land of the free (for some, not for you) markets.

Another Boeing incidence. There should be a statistics page somewhere where incidences are marked on some graph or chart showing engine manufacturers airplane manufacturers airlines etc. if any exist would like to see such a page.

Do you know if the parts the flew away, are build by the engine manufacturer, are build by the engine manufacturer and attached/assembled by Boeing or are those coverings build and attached by Boeing (because every attachment for every plane is different, even for the same engine?)
