Reminds me of a story of a budget airliner cutting costs by buying used parts and patching them up. Now nobody had actually tried to do something so nuts/genius before so there weren't any clear cut regulations. Eventually there was an accident and the FAA started to put screws under the microscope and interrogate maintenance crew.

Thankfully the aviation industry nowadays out of self interest cares about safety.

The usual way I've heard aviation regulations described is that every single regulation is written in blood.

That is, every one of these regulations exist because somebody died as a direct result of that regulation not existing.
