Damning NTSB Report Blames Boeing For Failures That Led To Midair Door Plug Blowout

The National Transportation Safety Board wrapped up its investigation on Tuesday into a terrifying flight incident from last year, where a door plug detached from a plane during takeoff, causing objects to be sucked out of the cabin at an altitude of nearly 15,000 feet.

NTSB Chairwoman Jennifer Homendy commended the crew of Alaska Airlines flight 1282 for their heroic actions, which prevented any fatalities. She stated, “The actions of the captain, the first officer, four flight attendants, and air traffic controllers on duty that day were nothing short of heroic.”

The investigation revealed that the door panel on the newly manufactured Boeing 737 Max 9 had been removed for repairs, but four crucial bolts were not reinstalled when the plug was replaced. This led to the gradual displacement of the door plug, culminating in its catastrophic failure.

While the missing bolts were a direct cause of the incident, the NTSB found that Boeing’s deficient business processes over the past decade were also to blame. The report highlighted various shortcomings in Boeing’s procedures, including lack of experience among personnel, absence of documentation for maintenance tasks, and inadequate on-the-job training.

In contrast, Homendy praised the crew for their skillful handling of the situation and their rigorous training, which enabled them to safely land the plane back at the airport despite the chaos onboard. The crew members recounted the chaotic moments when the door blew open, causing communication difficulties and physical injuries.

Despite the turbulence and confusion, the crew managed to ensure the safety of all passengers, including lap children and unaccompanied minors. Thanks to their quick thinking and training, no serious injuries were reported.

Homendy emphasized the importance of training and preparedness in such emergencies, stating that the crew’s swift and decisive actions ultimately saved lives. The incident serves as a reminder of the critical role that proper training and procedures play in ensuring the safety of air travel.
