Boeing Tormented by the Dreamliner

The title of this story should read “Boeing tormented by really stupid outsoucing” Then there should be a secondary title which reads “Andrew told us so”.
It has discovered a manufacturing error, which according to industry experts, has caused delamination in the plastic-composite aft fuselage section of some 787 Dreamliners.
This is not the first time they have had delamination issues. Early on the wings delaminated and needed to be reinforced. Now the tale is delaminating. The 787 has only been in service for less then a year.
This new composite material is complete sh*t. It is just a matter of time before a 787 disintigrates in mid air and hundreds die.
Boeing did say that there are no short term safety concerns. Of course they said that. Just buckle up and enjoy your flight.
The delamination is happening in a section of the aft fuselage near where the horizontal tail is joined.
structural stiffening rods, which had been hardened with fuselage skin in massive ovens, have partially separated from the skins. Sounds safe to me.
One of the principal reasons for delay is the problem of faulty shimming by mechanics working for Alenia (Not Americans), building the 787′s horizontal tail in Italy. Shimming is a process of filling gaps between small objects using various materials. The workers had applied too much torque while tightening fasteners which compressed the shims and degraded the compost material. Nobody noticed this in the last 5 years?
Boeing till present has completed the assembly of 50 Dreamliners and has delivered five They delivered 5. The other 45 are all kinds of completely f*cked up. Thanks to outsourcing.
