The 737 That Lost Its Door Was a Ticking Time Bomb the Moment It Left Boeing Factory: Report

A new report says the Boeing 737 MAX 9 jet that lost part of its fuselage in midair was faulty when it left the factory.

On Jan. 5, a portion of an Alaska Airlines aircraft’s fuselage blew out three miles above Oregon.

The depressurized plane, which was carrying 171 passengers and six crew members, returned safely to Portland International Airport with no serious injuries.

The Wall Street Journal, citing sources it did not name, reported Monday that bolts that should have been holding the piece in place were missing when the jet left the factory.

The report said airplane industry sources, including those at Boeing, believe workers did not put back the bolts after reinstalling a plug door, which had been opened or removed during production.

Sources told the Journal that the conclusion was partly based on the “apparent absence of markings on the Alaska door plug itself that would suggest bolts were in place.”

They said the theory was backed up by “paperwork and process lapses” at the factory where the plane was produced.
