An Airbus chief wing engineer said the panel was supplemental and was secured properly: “Each of these panels has 119 fasteners, so there was no impact to the structural integrity or load capability of the wing, and the aircraft was safe to operate.”
4 fasteners missing out of 119 designed fasteners might be OK, but the consequences of him being wrong is pretty catastrophic. Wings coming off aircraft mid-flight is not desirable.
Take something that good people can't argue with and are naturally in favor of -- not being racist, for instance; i.e., "loving thy neighbor" -- and saturate society with the false idea that only by coercing people to think and do something HARMFUL can that Good Thing be attained. Give the false paradigm a NAME and bingo! You're on your way to corrupting an entire nation. Hell, almost an entire planet.
No decent human being wants people discriminated against because of their race, sex, socio-economic status, etc. (Side note: statistical truths are not individual truths; MOST women don't want to be warriors or CEOs but SOME do, and shouldn't be discriminated against if they can do the job).
So [they] make it about hating pretty much EVERYONE who isn't in a particular "approved" category ("bad guys" are whites, males, the competent, the wealthy or even middle class -- so being a competent, white, middle-class male is REALLY bad) gets targeted for discrimination and/or elimination -- and we're all forced to accept special treatment and favors for the allegedly oppressed.
A representative for Virgin Air said the flight was cancelled to “provide time for precautionary additional engineering maintenance checks, which allowed our team the maximum time to complete their inspections.”
Because we don't schedule time for them to do engineering maintenance checks during regular inspections.
Its on the leading edge of the panel, if it was on the trailing edge it would be acceptable. But as its a flap panel it will be hidden from the 600MPH wind for most of the flight, put it in the deferred defects log.

^^^^^Came here to say this.
I wish they would stop calling it Diversity.
This is a trap term.
If you logically are against it.
Then that means you believe that only one group of people has skills.
If you logically are for it.
Then that means you believe the color of skin = qualified.
It's a bad logical loop.
EVERYTHING [they] push is like that.

We're living with the results.
Agreed
Just makes me wonder who was on the flight they wanted dead.
How many fasteners does an aircraft wing need?
ALL OF THEM. Passenger Lives Matter!
I know hire a drag queen for CEO.
