    I’m really glad I’m not on their raggedy planes. Skipping failed safety certs and flying with broken components in the name of an pointless war is going to get passengers killed.

        The door is inexcusable, but cracked glass happens frequently to many airlines. The pane that cracked is the outer pane and usually occurs from frequent heating and cooling.

          The recent door issue seems to be a result of improper installation by Boeing. The bolts were not torqued to the correct torque or the torque speck given at assembly was incorrect. Anywho, most aviation governing bodies require all planes operating in their region to have completed all manufacturer safety inspections and repairs. If Russia isn’t doing this with their fleets their plans may not be allowed to land/take off in many countries.

        In that article, the big ones were both engines failing simultaneously and the landing gear not deploying xD
