UAL 787 Pitch Excursion?

Headline says "Boeing".
At first glance I was like whatever, just more CAT.

Article explictly states this was a Boeing 737-800.
With 245 passengers and 11 crew on board.
Flying from Lagos, Nigera over the Atlanta Ocean to land in Washington Dulles 5,500 NM away.
Plus, "six passengers were injured in the melee". Wait, what? A MELEE?
Soo.....I'd take EVERYTHING about this article with a HUGE grain of salt.
(Going out on a limb here and say that author "Zoe Hussain" isn't an aviation expert. May even be a chatbot. )

Modern "journalism" being what it is, why not just use chatGPT? Most readers won't notice.
But if the same plane did the same thing previously, there might actually something to it.

No, it doesn't. The article states that the aircraft is a 787:

Local emergency crew were on standby just four minutes after the pilot of the Boeing 787-800 aircraft reported distress at 1:20 a.m., according to the statement.
