Passengers of the Alaska Airlines Boeing 737 Max 9 that experienced a midair blowout in January have been informed by the FBI that they may be victims of a crime, prompting a DOJ investigation. This incident has led to a broader probe into Boeing's practices, potentially jeopardizing a previous settlement over fraud charges. The NTSB found that the jet left Boeing's factory without the necessary bolts, and the FAA has identified production issues. Boeing is expected to report significant losses due to the incident, including compensation to affected airlines and disruptions to production.
