"NTSB Criticizes Boeing for Withholding Key Records on Midair Blowout"
TL;DR Summary
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has criticized Boeing for withholding crucial information about a door plug panel that blew off an in-flight 737 Max 9 jet in January. The NTSB is still unable to determine who opened and closed the door plug, and Boeing has not provided the names of the employees involved or documentation of the work. Boeing disputes the NTSB's account but has acknowledged the possibility that the requested documents may not exist. Regulators at the Federal Aviation Administration are also concerned about systemic quality-control issues at Boeing and its suppliers.
