TL;DR Summary

The missing part of an Alaska Airlines Boeing 737 MAX 9 fuselage door plug, which blew off mid-flight, has been found in a Portland, Oregon yard. The NTSB is investigating the harrowing incident, which led to a nationwide grounding of certain Boeing 737 MAX 9 aircraft. The investigation is complicated by the loss of critical cockpit audio recordings and previous warnings about the plane's pressurization. The airline had restricted the aircraft from flying over the ocean due to prior auto pressurization fail lights, and the cockpit voice recorder was overwritten. The NTSB is calling for 25-hour cockpit voice recordings in all aircraft for safety.
