So, hissy fits of a man-child president cost lives, who would have thought it.

Boeing has history with errant code from e.g. subcontractors as is realised by those who have followed the Mull of Kintyre Chinook 2 crash investigations and literature – trouble with authenticating FADEC software. There were other Boeing quality control issues with hardware though.

The data Canada and others handed over must be pretty damning.
