UPS never required detailed inspection of part that failed before engine flew off plane that crashed
UPS did not require detailed inspections of engine mount bearings on its MD-11 freighters, despite Boeing's earlier recommendation, leading to an engine detachment and fatal crash. Boeing and the FAA acknowledged misjudging the risk of bearing failure, which caused engine lugs to break during takeoff at Louisville’s Muhammad Ali International Airport.
