I mean, it's fun to laugh at Boeing right now, but that's clearly a maintenance fault and not a design fault at this point. 757 is an old platform and I'm pretty sure any design flaws are long since discovered.

It is NOT "clearly a maintenance issue". It is a human factors issue, and I'd wager to bet it was caused by some pilot's hard landing and lack of reporting it. Aircraft face a yearly (annual) inspection and a 100 hour inspection. In airliners they can't take them off line to complete that much checking all at once. Therefore they rotate through a series of checks that allows the airframe to remain current. If a dumb pilot prangs the plane in an area that has just been inspected, he's supposed to report it. Otherwise, nobody has any reason to look at that area until it's next scheduled check. Given that 89.4% of all crashes are caused by pilot error, and maintenance accounts for .05% of incidents, the blame simply by numbers lay outside of maintenance... |

Lots of speculation (I worked on Navy fighters at the depot level for years) but we'll see what an inspection shows. If I worked on anything, the paperwork got stamped with my "artisan stamp" - a number specific to me and if I did something shoddy (never happened) it could be traced directly to me.
I remember the stamp number 50 years later; "4AC92" |

Clearly they parked in the wrong neighborhood...probably time they built the airport on the north side of town too. Peachtree Dekalb is too busy during the holidays.
