TL;DR Summary

The US safety regulator, National Transportation Safety Board, reported that a cabin panel that blew off a Boeing 737 Max 9 jet mid-flight appeared to be missing four key bolts meant to hold the door plug in place. Boeing has been working to reassure regulators, airlines, and passengers following the incident, and the FAA has pledged to scrutinize "unacceptable" quality issues at Boeing and increase oversight of the company's production line. The FAA ordered thorough inspections and maintenance of Max 9 jets, and emphasized that the safety of the flying public will continue to inform their decision-making.
