Boeing Deleted Footage of Work on Alaska Airlines Door That Blew Off 737 MAX

HeadlineMar 14, 2024

Federal investigators looking into the Alaska Airlines Boeing 737 MAX door blowout say their work is being hampered by Boeing’s lack of cooperation and major issues with its recordkeeping. The National Transportation Safety Board said Boeing was not able to provide the name of the employee who worked on the failed door plug and that Boeing overwrote surveillance footage of the plug’s reinstallment. Meanwhile, The New York Times reports Boeing failed 33 out of 89 audits conducted by the Federal Aviation Administration on the 737 MAX.
