Comment on Boeing 737 MAX suffers landing gear failure, rolls off runway

Comments

Wheels are always weak spots of airplane. Incidents will happen. The same with compressor stalls.

General media just like to produce headlines...

Of course a door plug or manoevering system should not become a weak spot. And systematic failures of gears would also need attention. But a gear of a 737, a wheel of a 777 and an engine stall of yet another type have nothing to do with each other.
