IF62M, a Boeing team was sent to Japan after the tail strike to instigate a repair, the repair they came up with was actually stronger than the original bulkhead design, unfortunately where two rivets should have joined a plate only one was fitted, the rest is history, incidentally the Japanese engineer who signed-off on the Boeing repair committed suicide.
