TL;DR Summary

Boeing faces renewed scrutiny after a portion of the fuselage on an Alaska Airlines 737 Max 9 blew out midflight, leading to emergency inspections of similar aircraft. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has ordered inspections of 171 Max 9 planes, resulting in flight cancellations. This incident adds to Boeing's ongoing challenges with the 737 Max series, which was previously grounded after two fatal crashes.
