The Boeing Max has a real problem
A door plug that blew off an Alaska Airlines Boeing 737 Max 9 aircraft during a flight in Oregon, US, detached from the plane and crashed into the ground, killing all 20 people on board. The Federal Aviation Administration has temporarily grounded all 737 Max 9 planes in the US. This comes after two crashes involving the plane in six months killed 346 people.
The windows on the plane blow out on the flight from Oregon
Boeing asked the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for a safety exemption for its 737 MAX 9 aircraft in order to expedite certification process, The Seattle Times reported. This comes after the first US commercial flight of the Boeing 737 MAX 9 took place in December 2020 and a window and piece of the fuselage on one such plane blew out in midair.
