TL;DR Summary

The US Federal Aviation Administration has ordered inspections on the older Boeing 737-900ER models following the blowout of an unused door on a 737 Max 9 plane earlier this month. This comes after an Alaska Airlines flight was forced to make an emergency landing when part of its body fell away mid-air. The FAA is investigating Boeing's manufacturing practices and production lines, and has grounded over 170 737 Max 9 planes. Boeing has pledged to increase the quality of inspections in its manufacturing process, and the FAA emphasized that the safety of the flying public will determine the timeline for returning these aircraft to service.
