If I recall, an earlier article regarding the battery issue on the APU-incident aircraft indicated the Batts are from a Japanese supplier...
There are a few rare earth mines in the US but they are very expensive. One is over west of PKE.There are only so many Lithium mines out there and I don't think there are any Lithium battery manufacturing plants in the States.
You seriously need to have a better grasp of the facts before you spout off.
There was a fix developed for the DC-10 cargo door following the DTW incident, the Turkish aircraft only had half of the fix complied with...had the airline complied completely with that repair the door would not have failed.
There were three things that lead to the Turkish DC-10 fatality accident. Improper maintenance procedures, improper closing of the door by cargo handlers and the failure to inspect of the door after it was closed from the outside.
Perpetuating myths and improperly placing blame isn't going to help anyone.
I had sincerely hoped that Boeing had learned from the egregious example that Airbus has established with their aircraft sub assemblies from everywhere else but it seems not-and now they are reaping the benefits of having so much of the aircraft farmed out to the lowest bidder in Cheapcrapistan!
Seriously, after having watched for years the integration and teething problems that Airbus has become legend for just how arrogant is the management at the Lazy B to think they can do better?
