Boeing designed these thrust links. Aviation Week reports that since the Hawaii event, Boeing has found cracks in at least one thrust link belonging to the fourth 777-9. This means that ALL 777-9s now have cracked or severed thrust links.
Sounds like a bad design to me. Let’s just keep flying…

In fairness, these are occuring in test airplanes that aren’t flying passengers. Not trying to defend Boeing - fuck those guys - just saying.
