NTSB: Bolts securing door plug on Alaska Airlines flight were missing before panel blowout
Bolts securing a panel to the frame of a Boeing 737 MAX 9 were missing on an Alaska Airlines flight from Portland, Oregon, that sustained a midair blowout last month, investigators with the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) found.
The U.S. regulators' preliminary report was released Tuesday about the Jan. 5 incident that took place shortly after takeoff. According to the report, the lack of certain damage around the panel, which is called a door plug, indicates that all four bolts were missing before the plane took off.
The plane — used for Ontario, California-bound Alaska Airlines flight 1282 — was a Boeing 737 MAX 9 jetliner, and the incident put Boeing and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) under scrutiny. Criticism of both the company and its regulator goes back to deadly crashes in 2018 and 2019 of MAX 8 jets in Indonesia and Ethiopia that killed 346 people. Shares of the The Boeing Co. were down 20% in 2024.
