Why it's important to inspect your nuts

Here’s a shocking headline; Boeing Urges Airlines to Inspect 737 Max for "loose bolt" in rudder system. Imagine you’re in line to board a plane, and that headline comes across your news feed. That would be somewhat unnerving, would it not? Check out that second paragraph. Yup, it’s true; a bolt ain’t holding nothing to nothing if it lost its nut. And if there’s no nuts securing the bolts securing the rudder section to the rest of the aero-plane, you gonna be in a real big heap ‘o shit real soon! You’re shuffling towards the boarding ramp when you look out the window and see you’re about to board a 737 Max… Destination certain doom! You’d be waving your phone in the air and shouting at non-existent airline “customer humiliation agents:” WAIT! WAIT! HAVE YOU SEEN THIS!?!? HAVE YOU CHECKED YOUR NUTS??? Of course, such an outburst would just get you arrested and shuffled off to a psychiatric facility for observation. The good news is at least you’re not on the next 737 Max that’ll fall out of the sky!
