As an investigation is underway into the gaping hole aboard an Alaska Airlines flight, former National Transportation Safety Board and Federal Aviation Administration official Jeff Guzzetti is sharing insights into what may have gone wrong to cause the midair emergency. NBC News’ Jesse Kirsch has a closer look.

The plane had a aneurysm.
If Boeing can't even secure a door to their plane, *which should be the easiest and simplest task in all of aviation*, just think of what else they might be "missing" in constructing their planes or training their pilots. Is this just a single event, or a "sign" of other failures just waiting to happen?
Have you checked the diversity hire engineers who think that tightening bolts on airplane doors is racist?
The 737 is an old technology that Boeing keeps modifying.
An option Boeing should consider is allowing these openings to be installed on all of their planes, to be used as "Karen Exits" when needed.
When you go to work knowing that your take home pay buys you less than it did last year leaves you wondering why you want to have pride in your work ???
If you are a Boeing flight, make sure you write a will first 😂😂😂
After that nothing to worry 😂
Just here to remind you pilots are allowed to have DUIs so that’s the quality of people we have in the industry
Made in America and everybody laughs at Chinese products and everyone talks about nuclear wars because of genocide joe and genocide Trump and genocide JFK jr parts are made in the eastern world
I see all the armchair engineers are back fresh from their triumphs analyzing the Titanic submarine incident.
Jonny2x4: feel the wind plank = ed edd eddy LOL
Welcome to the era of cost cutting and profit making irrespective of safety. Fake engineering reports and tests. Same with big pharmaceutical firms and their strive to make big profits irrespective of our health (ie vaccines, opioids etc). Investigations will not solve this current mind set. We are looped as consumers since government regulators have had their throats cut by the mighty right wing cost cutters and now are captured/manipulated by corporate industry. Gltu
Possible manufacturing flaw😂😂😂😂. A two month old plane, Boeing delivered a 💩.
They should have just kept the original exits.
You can tell all the fasteners broke clean off, leaving the mounting holes intact. this is VERY concerning. Wrong sized fasteners? Grade of fasteners too low for intended purpose?
He said AA would not normally touch that area, but you never know. They have a long history of shady stuff. They MUST be scrutinized.
Used fewer bolts/rivets to save money?
These problems have all been brought about by Boeing not wanting to do a clean-sheet plane, to compete with you know who. The handling problems, etc. were brought about by relocating the bigger engines, etc. The plane, itself before they modified it, was one of the safest ever.
Boeing used SAE instead of metric?
Unplanned rapid disassembly system activation….
Boeing got some serious splainin' to do…
I was so confused and wondering why the hole was shaped like a emergency door. Now it makes sense.
I'm horrified at the image of the boy's shirt having been sucked off him. More so for the mom who held on tightly to her son.
Why was it modified? Was it from the planes in which the carriers refused to take delivery because of COVID and travel restriction, modified and sold to Alaska Airlines?
Boeing union workers can't make planes right
Cost reduction is always costly.
"This appears to be an isolated case"
Didnt they say that when the first Boeing Max nose dived into the ground killing everyone on board.
And Im sure like with that one, Boeing will do all it can to blame it on the airline employees.
Boeing…
ALL NEWER (MAX SERIES) BOEING AIRCRAFT MAKE EXTENSIVE USE OF INJECTION-MOLDED PLASTIC COMPONENTS IN A EFFORT TO SAVE WEIGHT, THEREBY IMPROVING THE AIRCRAFT'S EFFICIENCY AND BY EXTENSION, ITS "CARBON FOOTPRINT"
Oh rubbish! Thats the new feature with these 737 Max planes, Moon window!
The wording I heard , the door was "paneled over" so noone could access the hardware to open the door.. sounds to me it was a normal emergency door that was paneled over, and 6 more seats added.. probably for extra income.
Makes me wonder if the handle to open the door, which is normally checked on every flight, somehow managed to work its way open, with the vibrations and whatnot. But since it was paneled over, noone could check it was secure, not even the staff. (Out of sight, out of mind) I think the doors should be secured on every flight, as part of pre take off procedures.
Actually how bout leave it as an emergency exit, the designed purpose and essential to save lives in an emergency.
When you think about it, it was just plain luck that no passenger was seating at this window, and the door did not hit the tail of the plane, damaging its flight control surfaces.
If the plane had crashed as a result, the consequences would have been dire for Boeing which Max reputation has already been tested more than enough.
Imagine if there was a fire and that door was sealed, and if it wasn't sealed the people would have survived… I think all exits should be required regardless of seat count. Just common sense to me.
Can anyone explain the image at 1:53? That's the exit to the back or front of plane, not a side exit?
Is it just me? But is this news segment, totally useless
The absolute best American Built Aircraft Today are the A220 and A320 NEO Series of Aircraft Proudly Assembled in Alabama 🇺🇸
Americans can build world leading Airliners just not under Boeing Management 😂
This happens when Boeing's CEO mandates any cost savings at any cost so that the CEO can maximize profits.
I wouldn’t call that “modified.” The MAX 9 can be configured with either an emergency exit door in that position or not. I expect it was ordered that way.
Here how plane flight plane is gonna happen so far!
Sue Boeing and Alaska
How many Boeing 737 Max 9 are out there in operation?
737-Max is a GARBAGE tier plane.
A FLYING DEATH TRAP.
I'm amazed anybody still trust their lives and family on this plane.
So basically you are saying that we are switching back to blimps. This makes me so proud. 🧸
Earliest reports from the airline said “a panel fell down”. This choice of soft language by the airline damage control spin doctors had me thinking some electrical panel in the cockpit had fallen on the floor, not a sudden and violent cabin depressurization.
The margin isn’t torn, but a smooth, clean break, possibly indicating the absence of any fasteners whatsoever. I just wonder how it managed so many flights in this condition?
wasenth bolted properly 😡
The panel came from "Chy-na."
