#3Looks like a misleading tweet, in the video it sounds like the tire came off like it was a flat maybe?

#5Here comes the confirmation bias.
Now, every issue with a Boeing plane will be noticed, reported on and magnified. I'm not saying this is necessarily bad as there actually do seem to be some significant issues at Boeing. Hopefully, the result is an intense shakeup resulting in increased focus on quality.

There were plenty of rumblings about Boeing's poor quality control after the MCAS issues. Didn't seem to change much. But then again, maybe this is the straw that breaks the camel's back in terms of PR.

I guess that's a consequence of directly causing the deaths of 346 people. We are right to scrutinise them harshly.

Americans commonly use "tyre" and "wheel" interchangeably. Drives me nuts especially in motorsports where the distinction is important. But it is what it is. This was a case of a wheel coming off.
