"Boeing Unable to Locate Records for Alaska Airlines Door Plug Incident"
TL;DR Summary
Boeing has stated that it cannot locate documents related to the door plug that blew off a Boeing 737 Max 9 jet in January, suggesting that such records may never have existed. This comes amid a federal investigation into the incident, with the NTSB accusing Boeing of withholding key information. The NTSB's preliminary report indicated that the door plug was missing four key bolts, and investigations are ongoing to determine responsibility for the improper reattachment of the door plug. The incident has prompted scrutiny from multiple agencies, including the NTSB, FAA, and the Department of Justice, which has opened a criminal probe into the matter.
