Prediction; either the yaw damper failed in flight or the crew forgot to turn it on.

There’s actually no need to report every single little thing that happens unless it’s evidence of a larger problem. There is no evidence of a major problem here.

Boeing has a long way to go before their name is trusted again.

Cause is horrendous management. No QC. SB delisted.

"The cause of the accident"? The plane landed safely... What "accident"? I know clicks make bucks and all that, but any chance of some factual reporting?

Was not an accident. Definitely still needs investigation
