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:
“If in the earlier part of the century, middle-class children suffered from overattentive mothers, from being “mother’s only accomplishment,” today’s children may suffer from an underestimation of their needs. Our idea of what a child needs in each case reflects what parents need. The child’s needs are thus a cultural football in an economic and marital game.”
—Arlie Hochschild (20th century)
