Boeing 787 wing flaw extends inside plane

Major ouchy.

The structural flaw in the Boeing design was found in May during a ground test that bent the wings upward. Stresses at the ends of the long rods that stiffen the upper wing skin panels caused the fibrous layers of the composite plastic material to delaminate

That sounds like it could be a fabrication issue, but the rest of the article makes it sound like it’s basic engineering screwup.
