"Critical Bolts Missing from Boeing Jetliner Leads to Alaska Airlines Blowout, NTSB Reports"

The NTSB reported that bolts securing a panel on a Boeing 737 Max 9 were missing before the panel blew off an Alaska Airlines plane midflight last month, leading to a harrowing emergency landing. The incident has raised concerns about manufacturing quality at Boeing, with questions about who removed the bolts and lack of documentation. The FAA is investigating manufacturing processes at Boeing and its supplier, Spirit AeroSystems, and the grounding of Alaska Airlines' 65 Max 9s is estimated to cost the carrier $150 million.
