Substandard Italian workmanship renders first 787s unsafe

Boeing has discovered that the Italian firm to which it subcontracted
construction of tail assemblies isn't doing the work correctly, putting
the 23
aircraft it has already built at risk:

No surprise here. When you allow Third World companies to built vital
parts to
your airplane, you should take for granted that there will be potentially
dangerous defects. That's the consequence of trying to be politically
correct.
Lots of people would consider that Italian technology is at least as good
as anything emanating from Chicago.
And that is in which world?
