Amid concerns over safety, Boeing faces fresh scrutiny following an alarming incident involving an Alaska Airlines Boeing 737 Max aircraft that left a gaping hole in its fuselage during a flight from Portland to Ontario, California. Federal officials announced the temporary grounding of some Boeing 737 Max planes in response to the alarming incident that unfolded in the sky.
Flight 1282, carrying 171 passengers and six flight crew members, experienced a catastrophic event shortly after takeoff, resulting in a window and a portion of the plane’s fuselage blowing out. Although passengers reported a sudden rush of air and minor injuries, fortunately, there were no serious casualties. As a precautionary measure, Alaska Airlines grounded its entire fleet of 65 Boeing 737-9 aircraft.
The temporary grounding has affected flight operations, leading to thousands of passenger disruptions and cancellations. Each inspection is estimated to take between four to eight hours.
