The Boeing 737 rudder control issue, and the two documented crashes associated with it, were profiled in The History Channel show Engineering Disasters 19 and on the National Geographic Channel's Air Emergency episode, "Deadly Components", first aired on May 12, 2008.
The TV series Mayday also profiled these crashes in the episode "Hidden Danger". The Mayday episode included details on Eastwind Airlines Flight 517, which led to NTSB investigators issuing a finding in the earlier events.

Famous quotes containing the word cultural:
“The men who are messing up their lives, their families, and their world in their quest to feel man enough are not exercising true masculinity, but a grotesque exaggeration of what they think a man is. When we see men overdoing their masculinity, we can assume that they haven’t been raised by men, that they have taken cultural stereotypes literally, and that they are scared they aren’t being manly enough.”
—Frank Pittman (20th century)
