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:
“We are in the process of creating what deserves to be called the idiot culture. Not an idiot sub-culture, which every society has bubbling beneath the surface and which can provide harmless fun; but the culture itself. For the first time, the weird and the stupid and the coarse are becoming our cultural norm, even our cultural ideal.”
—Carl Bernstein (b. 1944)
