Hmmm... "the timer did not work"
Sounds a lot like the 737MAX where "the angle sensor did not work". What I have seen about that whole problem made the company look pretty close to evil.

Yes, but at least it landed perfectly.

Here is your Boeing ride to the Space Station astronauts. Oops we missed. Well at least you get to come back home again.

And I see their CEO got sacked. As if that will solve their problems.

And now this comes to light, along with plenty more that seems to indicate Boeing has been very careless in recent times.

Maybe I should edit the title of this thread to "Not good years for Boeing".
Sacking the CEO didn't make life rosy for them. What next?
