we've learned that it was because Boeing and the airlines cheaped out on the bolts, the labor, and the maintenance, and then dodged safety regulations

And the same exact thing happens with cars except it happens more easily, more often, and affects more of the population.

And there aren't as many redundancies in place in a car.
