So the Swedish press is reporting that the investigation results into the failure of the landing gear of have determined that wear on a certain bolt caused said bolt to come off and thus causing the problem. The report is preliminary. This Bombardier press release seems to indicate something similar. Why do I care? Because I fly from Seattle to Portland every week and often on the Q400 (in fact Horizon is simplifying their fleet and getting rid of their Q200s).
