Recently, a boeing 737 max had an issue where it started dutch rolling in flight. The plane landed safely, but the FAA is investigating.
The dutch roll is an osculating motion that can happen in flight, and can be dangerous if not counteracted. Commercial airliners have a yaw damper which should prevent this from occurring, but something must have gone wrong because it did.
Also causing structural damage to the 737 Max in the process. Interested to hear how many bolts were left out of the yaw damper once the FAA incident report comes out.

Oh wow. Thanks.
