Spirit AeroSystems makes the fuselage for the 737 Max. [1][2]

It's even in the article: "Spirit AeroSystems, which makes the fuselages for the planes, referred CNBC to Boeing when asked about the incident"

For all intents and purposes, Spirit is part of Boeing.

Spirit was Boeing Wichita until 2005, and today Boeing represents 85% of sales.

Boeing decided to outsource to Spirit, Boeing is responsible to attest the quality of what Spirit is delivering for a Boeing product.

If Samsung/Apple would outsource their batteries to Megabattery Company LLC and those batteries started to randomly explode we would all be blaming Samsung/Apple for not doing proper QC. I hope we all hold Boeing to a much higher level of scrutiny than cellphone manufacturers.

At some point it has to be simple liability for the final seller, ignoring all subcontractors.

Otherwise there’s too many shellgames you can play.
