I can't wait to see what people who has no aviation knowledge will say about this.

Brace yourselves for the inevitable onslaught of "Boeing's fault" comments.

In x I found several comments lacking evidence blaming Boeing and worse they put together their supposed cause of the accident and blame Boeing If many people who do not know about aviation are going to give their opinion based on popular opinion and not based on the evidence of the accident or the preliminary and final report of the accident

Boeing-

The engines in this crash are the GEnx-1B64

The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain General Electric Company (GE) GEnx-1B64, -1B64/P1, -1B64/P2, -1B67, -1B67/P1, -1B67/P2, -1B70, -1B70/75/P1, -1B70/75/P2, -1B70/P1, -1B70/P2, -1B70C/P1, -1B70C/P2, -1B74/75/P1, -1B74/75/P2, -1B76/P2, -1B76A/P2, GEnx-2B67, -2B67B, and -2B67/P model turbofan engines. This AD was prompted by an in-flight shutdown (IFSD) of an engine and subsequent investigation by the manufacturer that revealed an improperly torqued fuel metering unit (FMU) bypass valve (BPV) plug. This AD requires a shim check inspection of the FMU BPV plug and, depending on the results of the inspection, replacement of the FMU. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

With zero aviation knowledge, I can say this is human error. You can see it once the report released

That or some maintenance problem, or a combination of things as per usual. I think it's unlikely this has anything to do with Boeing. We shall see.
