edit: on a meta note, why did this submission flash on the homepage, and now I can't find it?
edit2: I can't find the dupe submission either: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39712618
edit3: I found this submission now on page 6, it was just on the first page and gaining comments and votes fast until just now.
edit4: both submissions are completely gone now off any page.
@dang?
I think we fall into a false sense of "How could this happen and no one get caught doing it". I know I've had that thought for decades now but murders keep happening and people keep getting away with it. I find myself thinking "Wow, I guess that was easier than I thought it'd be (thinking back 1-4 years), but _now_ it would be harder", the issue is I've had that same thought almost every year so clearly my guess of how hard it would be is way off.
The interesting case with Boeing is, its not only that the company would want this person gone, but rather the entire US government too. Boeing is "too big to fail."
edit: missed the /s, stupid brain
Side note, for my sanity, did this article disappear off the first page for you as well?
It's on page 6 for me now.
edit: it's completely gone now off any page.
The other submission also wasn't flagged, even as of now, but it's gone on the pages.
There's much older and deader Boeing articles that are still on pages 3-10.
Front page isn't what we vote for, it's manually curated by dang and other moderators.
