minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink8•5 months agoIsn’t the headline misleading? Keep seeing clickbait headlines about this, but I thought it was a matter of improper documentation, not that it wasn’t actually titanium. So tired of what passes for “journalism” these days. Thanks, RepubliQans! /s
minus-squareHildegardelink14•5 months agoPretty much yes. Proper documentation is important for safety, but calling the itself titanium fake is incredibly dishonest. The rest of the headline doesn’t fair any better. The planes that included components made with the material were… Boeing 737 Max and 787 Dreamliner airliners as well as Airbus A220 jets Headline only mentions one of the involved manufacturers, misrepresenting it as a boeing problem because they know what will drive clicks.
