Comment on Titanium Fills Vital Role for Boeing and Russia

Comments

Is it some sort of coincidence that this article came out today? The timing makes this feel like a Boeing PR piece that was spun into a story to distract from the plane crash. It was mostly about the mill, Avisma, and it's importance in the aerospace industry, and the inclusion of Boeing in the article felt really forced since pretty much all Airline manufacturers are buying titanium from Avisma.

Probably a coincidence that the article was written today. Possibly not a coincidence that it was posted on HN today.

Being a pretty important company, there are likely business articles that include references to Boeing daily. And given that this was in today's print edition of the NY Times, no, unless the crash was scheduled in advance it isn't a "spin" (not sure how a story about titanium would be a PR piece for a jet coming in too low)
