the thing is...aircraft don't just suddenly break very often...It takes a while for cracks to get so severe that a 5x3 section blows out of the aircraft. I'd like the believe that nobody screwed up...but i doubt it. Again, I bet the shops were rushed on pretty complex inspection..and sadly the guys who were told "get this done fast or you're fired" are gonna be fired to save company face.
