It took decades for poor workmanship on planes to be revealed to the public. Outrageous that though those in charge knew the dangers -- Boeing was key among them -- hid those birds' true fragility and left untold numbers flying in death traps. Unforgivable. It took years worth of secret investigative journalism and multiple whistleblowers to reveal it. The Washington Post did a particularly good job of covering the scandal. The NYT was quite good as well. In our present day political debacle good journalism is one of our few hopes for returning sanity to government action. But it's David against Goliath and Goliath has a habit of "winning" at all costs, no matter what other shocking detritus lies in his wake.

No wonder everybody loves you. Your ecumenism crosses over even to those of us who are purely superstitious.
