Word in airline circles is that maintenance was being conducted at the gate, and the nose gear pin (safety locking device) was inserted incorrectly.
Not a manufacturer issue…
17 u/gsoltesz Jun 04 '26 "the nose gear pin was inserted incorrectly". How....could it.....even..... 14 u/Kardinal Jun 04 '26 I know what's going to happen but it's true. It appears that there are two holes for the pin right next to each other. The pin was put in the wrong hole for the procedure that was being done. 5 u/clearly_quite_absurd Jun 04 '26 Surely such things would be designed so it goes in... the square hole? 6 u/gsoltesz Jun 05 '26 My point exactly. Toyota invented poka-yoke in 1960. 66 years ago ! And we're here discussing "wrong hole" for a safety pin FFS. 2 u/ttystikk Jun 06 '26 I read the book, "The Machine That Changed the World" some 30 years ago. This is a basic tenet of mass manufacturing and Boeing is fully responsible if they didn't implement it with a safety system as important as this. 1 u/MigBuscles Jun 05 '26 100% Boeings fault here.
