A couple people hurt, probably at least a
couple people looking for new jobs.

Some duct tape, a little Bondo...pop rivets....no problem

Ummm, but that's how Airbus put it together in the first place, and
you can see how well that assembly work held...


Whereas if it were Boeing the duct tap bondo and pop rivets would be
rattling around in some hidden cavity in the airframe - that's what
you get when you let employees round critical areas of the airframe in
jeans and a t-shirt. It simply wouldn't happen at Airbus or for that
matter anywhere in Europe, Japan or Australia - even if the facility
was a Boeing sub-contractor.
