Boeing is asking federal regulators to exempt a new model of its 737 Max airliner from a safety standard designed to prevent part of the engine housing from overheating and breaking off during flight.
The story ends:
The 737 Max went into service in May 2017. Two of the planes crashed in 2018 and 2019, killing 346 people. All Max jets were grounded worldwide for nearly two years while the company made changes to an automated flight-control system that pushed the nose down based on faulty sensor readings.
More recently, Max deliveries have been interrupted to fix manufacturing flaws, and last month the company told airlines to inspect the planes for a possible loose bolt in the rudder-control system.

I was surprised that so many followed the tattoo fashion when it was obvious one day that fashion would end and they would have to decide on removal. Future parents are going to explain to their children why they covered so much of the bodies in ink. It became ridiculous, as is so much fashion.
