    This sounds like the phenomenon where any tiny unrelated issue with a plane is scrutinized by the media after an accident, even if these minor issues are common. I have no idea if this issue is serious, but I wouldn’t assume it is until we get more info.

      A crack formed on the outermost of 4 layers. It’s within spec but should’ve been caught on inspection. This is a bad look for ANA’s inspection team (which might be Boeing? I’m not sure), but not a manufacturing defect afaik.
