Oh, geez! All I said was that the person who checked/certified this airframe, as well as the certification program should be looked at when something like this happens to assure it is still pertinent. I did not say there was something wrong with it, and I also mentioned that there are a good many facts that we do not know by watching a 2:00 video clip.

To answer your ridiculous question about an aircraft that was considered cutting-edge technology in the 1940's, a time when aviation was still really in its infancy and we still had a lot to learn about aviation/aerodynamics/engineering: Somebody made a mistake? (yes, sometimes it happens!)
