I know - but it has another decade with proper maintenance.

Blaming the manufacturer 15 years ago has come and passed- that aircraft has had thousands of basic inspections, and probably hundreds more replacement parts, in depth inspections and rectified faults. Probably the only thing still original is the frame and skin.

The design is in large part responsible for detecting failures. If Boeing designed the plane without redundant sensors or failsafes these things happen.

Whose fault it is cannot be concluded yet, but Boeing could be partially to blame. In the past everything had many failsafes but Boeing removed them to cut cost.
