Delta is fourth major U.S. airline to find fake jet aircraft engine parts with forged airworthiness documents from U.K. company

Lets outsource everything im sure that will always work out!

Yeah I have a hard time believing that only less than 1% of their fleet is effected. They are being dodgey as fuck about it. Also any airline would jump at the chance for cheaper parts and these counterfeit parts were probably cheaper than legit parts.

Yay story time!

One of the 2 SpaceX falcon 9 failures, CRS-7, was caused by the manufacturer claiming a strut (metal pole) was rated to N lbs but in reality its failure point was N/2.

SpaceX sourced the material from an industrial supply company, not an aerospace company, and that company's material testing procedures were less strict. During launch the strut failed and caused a "rapid unscheduled disassembly". Or, as I like to say, an sad boom.

It's a little different than what's going on with these aircraft but it's similar. These companies really need to test the stuff they buy because your supply chain

Wow, lets add to the list of reasons I will never get on an airplane.
