Overall, it's always a boeing problem. i mean, they're the manufacturer. but again, when they talk about the subcontractor, they should be able to figure that out pretty quickly. i'm not sure exactly which portions of the fuselage spirit puts together. i believe it's pretty much all of it. but, again, they're going to be able to see if this was a random vent event where someone forgot something. who knows what. but it should be fairly easy to figure that out. mike: we're nearly out of time, but this was a brand new aircraft, so you know it wasn't age, right, being a factor. >> no, it should ab...

Was it the area around the door or was it the door itself. mike: no one was sitting in the seats closest to the door. the plane was flying at 16,000 feet just 10 minutes from the airport. how fortunate were all those factors? >> el -- well, as the chairman said is, it's extremely fortunate if because the pressure differential at, say, 35,000 feet is extremely -- it's much increased. and if that door panel had gone out, everything that wasn't tied down would have probably gone with it out that door. people, books, laptops, coat e, you name it, it would have gotten suckedded right out of that do...

The strike through the quarter could definitely subtract 0.3% from gdp growth. and you have the boeing problem, too, with the 737 which subtr t subtracted perhaps even half a percent off the second quarter growth. a lot of special factors driving growth down but, you know me. i'm sunny side kevin sometimes. so we had stronger than 2% growth even with those negative factors in the second quarter and in the third quarter we still expect growth to be north of 2%. when those get reversed, there's a big up side for the economy. maybe that's one reason why if i were at the fed i'd be nervous. i have...

Very carefully and look at both the system safety and the ergonomic issues involved with highly-automated cockpits." this is not a boeing problem. the airbus is more automated than the boeing's. in fact come into thousand eight, a similar thing happened to an airbus owned by air new zealand on a test flight. the angle of attack sensor failed, the automation confuse the pilots and they crashed into the mediterranean. so this is not just a boeing problem. it's an industry problem. as a regulatory problem. i'm glad to see they are investigating this and the department of transportation and perhap...
