Oh dear god that is not a thing you want to have happen in an aircraft.
I wonder if Boeings massive, pervasive and systemic quality control issues, well known by the industry for at least half a decade at this point will finally actually have some actual consequences, or if we really need more and more people to die.
Airbus is having record orders.
The thing is that Airbus had an issue recently too.
Though it is starting to feel that after Max had an issue recently, the media now writes articles about every little thing. Either that, or suddenly all aircrafts started breaking right now.
If you're referring to the Japan Air crash, yes, it was an Airbus hull loss, but the plane literally landed on another plane and nobody (in the landing plane) was seriously injured or killed. That's pretty incredible.
