"NTSB: Boeing Unable to Provide Key Footage in Door-Plug Blowout Investigation"
TL;DR

The agency is also struggling to identify the workers involved in the maintenance, and the justice department has opened a criminal investigation. Boeing has admitted that required documents detailing the removal of the door plug were never created, and the FAA has taken measures to address systemic quality-control issues.
