The plane heard it was going to Oakland so it started twerking.

I am a retired paper airplane maker and pilot. I can say that these planes have to be maintained every time they're on the ground. If for some reason, the plane takes on damage from a previous crash into a wall, you have to unfold the Boeing plane, and refold it all over again. In this case, maybe the plane backed into something and was never fixed. Easy fix is to refold the back portion of the plane.

Whoever investigating/exposing Boeing best be careful with their life!
-
I"ve worked about airplanes for ovef 30 years. After that Dutch Roll, how could one possibly NOT think there will be structural damage!?!?!
-
That animation was no where close to what a Dutch roll is……come on media, do better.
-
should be called: "The Dutch wiggle" not the Dutch roll because roll insinuates the plane turns-over to some degree.

Boeing CEO Dave Calhoun made $33 million in salary, benefits, and stock for 2023. If your salary is $100,000 a year, it would take you 330 years to make what he does in 1.

Rudder damage was likely the initial cause. This aircraft is generally very stable according to military standards. However, once slight yaw oscillations occur, they inevitably lead to rolling oscillations. I have a feeling it was lack of service, but that is also concerning based on how new the plane is. We will have to see when the investigation is over.

Here is an animation and the engineering/math behind the dynamics of a dutch roll https://youtu.be/JZlqctmQ7is?si=aeMcsNeNkOkj1s6t&t=3565

Looks like the plane was doing a mating dance (waving it's little tail) to attract other planes.
-
So did they fly that plane with passengers in the two weeks after the incident before they reported it?
-
Look up the “hard over” rudder issues on the 737 back when it came into service. PCU and yaw damper issues are serious.
-
The actuation of power control unit by itself should be investigated, this should not be considered a stand alone incident. Is it something similar to MCAS on the same types of planes which caused fatal crashes? Boeing is hiding lot more flaws on this type of aircraft.
-
Criminal that Southwest did not report this until after two weeks had passed, especially when the equipment in questions is the 737 Max.
-
At this point, nothing that happens with a Boeing plane is an "isolated incident".
-
Unless a Dutch roll is sudden and violent, it shouldn't damage the plane. Some aircraft have a tendency to do Dutch rolls under certain conditions but they are slow and controllable. More software issues for the Max?
-
Sometimes called the 'wiggle'. Was on a plane that did this and half of the passengers got sick. Some from the maneuver, and some from seeing/smelling the other passengers throwing up. I was in the middle of the plane and it was worse visually than how it felt. The video doesn't show how fast this happens.

The dutch roll is my favorite bread for sandwiches
-
I ate a Dutch Roll and that is EXACTLY how I moved while begging for my life on the toilet.

Lovely that they showed an animation of a 747 with only 2 engines
