You are like a dog with a bone and you are becoming tiresome . Does the winch in the main picture in the article contain an obvious Boeing part number ? If you think it does , then maybe you can point it out to me . If you can't point it out to me then I will carry the opinion that you are nothing more than smart arse , trying to get a rise out of somebody who was innocently and impartially , bringing people's attention to a breaking news article. The ball's in your court kid .
I did reread you earlier comment , kid . As I said , the main picture does resemble a cradle winch and your reply is clearly obvious . Despite there being no Boeing stamp or serial number visible , you felt the need to make a smart arsed and childish comment , with intention of trying to ridicule me . I suggest you go back to your crayons and refrain from posting in adult forums until you are well out of your teens .
Regards .

Looking at the main picture in the article , all the parts look like they were cast as opposed to forged .
I know enough about engineering to be able to say that cast parts are significantly brittle and I doubt what we are seeing is the landing gear from a commercial jet .

There is nothing in the main picture that suggests it was made by Boeing . You saw a cropped close up picture at the bottom of the article and then assumed ( wrongly ) that whatever is in the main picture had to be made by Boeing too .
If I were you , I would be more concerned about how your mind was manipulated by the images and spent less time harassing me .

Cast? They are machined....parts...dirty but 100% machined.
And the landing gear is made mainly of titanium, aluminum, and chrome.
Its not the whole landing gear, its part of it....the other parts have broken off!

My thoughts too .
A piece of debris is found and it just happens to have a Boeing serial number on it ( allegedly ) ... What are the odds ???
