The company informed the FAA last month that it is looking into whether two sections of wiring that control the tail of the plane are too close together and could cause a short circuit — and potentially a crash, if pilots did not react appropriately
I guess my question here is whether this is the kind of thing that happens all the time with all aircraft, but we're only hearing about this because it's the MAX.
