A recent report from U.S. investigators reveals that a door panel which detached from a Boeing 737 Max 9 jet mid-flight last month was found to be missing four crucial bolts. The incident is raising serious safety concerns for Boeing, as it comes on the heels of the company’s efforts to recover from two fatal crashes in 2018 and 2019. The panel came off an Alaska Airlines flight shortly after departure, but no injuries occurred. The Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) has since grounded all 171 Max 9 jets and has expressed intentions to increase oversight of Boeing’s production processes.
