Summary
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has released a preliminary report on the incident where a door plug blew out of an Alaska Airlines' Boeing 737 Max 9. The report states that bolts were missing from the door plug, causing it to move upward off stop pads. The accident prompted the grounding of the Max 9 by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and placed blame on Boeing. Boeing's CEO, Dave Calhoun, has taken responsibility for the issue. The FAA is currently auditing Boeing's production lines and has halted the company's planned production expansion of the 737 Max.
