"Boeing CEO Addresses Alaska Airlines Blowout and Mistake"

Boeing CEO Dave Calhoun stated that a "quality escape" caused the Alaska Airlines blowout, leading to the grounding of all Boeing 737 Max 9 jets for inspection. The incident involved a door plug blowing off mid-flight, prompting United Airlines to find loose bolts in its fleet. Boeing is revising inspection instructions and working with customers and the FAA, while Alaska Airlines has canceled all 737 Max 9 flights as it awaits documentation for inspection. The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating the cause of the blowout, emphasizing safety over speed in returning the aircraft to service.
