"DOJ Launches Criminal Probe into Alaska Airlines Boeing 737 MAX Blowout"

Alaska Airlines is cooperating with the U.S. Department of Justice in a criminal investigation following a Boeing 737 MAX blowout on its flight in January. The DOJ's probe will assess whether Boeing complied with an earlier settlement related to the 737 MAX crashes in 2018 and 2019. The incident led to the temporary grounding of 171 narrowbody MAX 9 jets, and the investigation revealed that the door panel that flew off was missing four key bolts.
