Since I fly pretty regularly, the more I fly, the more comfortable and at ease I feel flying on Airbus. Boeing needs to fire their executives and replace them with engineers instead of getting business advice from accounting consulting firms.

No mention that the 737-Max was already grounded for almost 2 years, during the pandemic, after a fatal flaw after “going cheap” to avoid crew recertification to try to compete against Airbus, that killed all passengers and crew of 2 different flights. This flaw, is not related to this issue, but tells you that more design oversight may have happened.

A $1500 inconvenience check. Tell that to the bus full of lawyers that were waiting for them when they landed.

Quote: "After checking a CERTAIN number of airplanes, one quarter were deemed safe and returned to service." This sounded so casual and normal but if you think again, only 1/4 were safe! This is scary!!!

I think it was just pure luck that the door didn't take out the horizontal stabilizer on its way down. If it did, this may have cause an uncontrollable dive and crash. It would have marked the third disastrous crash for the 737-Max.

I feel quite sorry for Americans watching such a prestigious company, Boeing, completely fall from grace and its market position. I’m not sure if Airbus has overtaken Boeing in terms of market share, but I would really not be surprised if they have. Boeing has developed a really bad reputation. Even here in Australia, the vast majority of Qantas orders of late have gone to Airbus and your average Joe is completely aware of the issues at Boeing putting money ahead of safety.

Just when you think Boeing can't embarass themselves even more

I swear Boeing will never return to its glory days when they actually made good airplanes.

Pretty remarkable that this video never once mentions Boeing - the creators of the 737-Max. They seem to cast blame on the airline (understandably) but how the makers of this disaster escape any notice on 4 minute video is beyond me.

I think it’s time to retire all 737 max’s. I definitely will never fly on one

Ah remember the old saying (adjusted for modern times): “If it’s Boeing i ain't going”

I wouldn't board any "Max" plane, ever. Over the years they've had way too many unacceptable mechanical failures resulting in catastrophic loss of life.

Boeing why am I not surprised

One quarter deemed safe? What are they finding on the 75% of inspected planes deemed unsafe?

Somehow a journalist saying "I spoke to a twelve-year old" in such a serious topic sounds funny, I don't know why😂

Apparently the folks who were scheduled to be seated right next to the emergency door missed the flight. If the had their seatbelts off they could have very well been sucked out of the cabin.

It’s Boeing 737 Max again 😢

All I can say is thank goodness no one was killed or seriously injured. I had a family emergency a few years back when these planes were just rolling out. I didn't have time to pick and choose my prefered airline or plane. I needed to get to my destination on the first thing smoking out of DC. I remember how proud and excited the Captain was when he announced what kind of plane we were in, and thought that's neat, just get me on the ground safely. A year after being on a 737 Max, two if them had crashed killing all onboard. If I wasn't already a nervous flyer ( I loved flying before 9/11) this in no way boosts my confidence on how safe air travel is.At least when it comes to a Boeing plane. And you mean to tell me that there is n't a cockpit voice recording in a flight that only lasted 20 minutes from tke off to emergency landing ?

yet, at 35000 feet people would have their seatbelts off and differential air pressure would blow them out of the gaping hole. Alaska had three previous pressurization warnings on this plane so they kept if off their Hawaii route so that it could immediately return to an airport. Alaska Airlines rolled the dice on this one and lost.

There is no way this should have happened

Thank goodness no one died.

This is why i always keep my seatbelt on when flying. How is boeing still in business? especially after the deaths in 2019 in the 2 crashes.

Boeing should be sued big time!

DOOR PLUG This option is only available on the -9 and limits the maximum capacity to 189. The door structure is modified so the sidewall does not infringe into the interior and a row of standard seats can be installed. A full-sized window is also installed. Boeing warns that future activation of the mid-cabin emergency exit doors will involve significant cost and therefor to consider retaining the baseline configuration with deactivated mid-cabin exit doors if future activation of the mid-cabin exit doors is required.

If it's a Boeing, i ain't going

Glad everyone is okay

cutting corners to cut down on the price might be the issue. How much does a Boeing 737 cost today? In 2019, Moody's had estimated Boeing's operating margin to be US$12-15 million for each 737 MAX 8 at its list price of $121.6 million (~$138 million in 2022), although the list price is usually discounted 50-55% in practice.

This should never happened to any modern plane, completely unacceptable.

Never wanting to fly a Boeing 737 MAX ever again after this... I'll stick to the A220 thank you, even with its own minor teething problems...

Well, boeing put profits above safety, now you see the consequences.

The aircraft which is shown in the introduction is actually an Embraer, not a Boeing 737 Max. Jerry

I remember a documentary done by Aljeezeera news years ago stating the low saftey standards in Boeing after that only all these incidents started to happen...

Just miraculously lucky no one was sitting in that row !

The pilot is the real Rvmp for keeping clam under intense pressure

That’s so scary just a a couple days before that I was on a Alaska flight

This is a great ad for Airbus! 😅

They had pressurisation lights came on on three previous occasions and they did nothing!!

Note to self: never fly a new Boeing plane.

how can they even let Max9 off the runway at this point?! Just because its Boeing....the FAA should be ashamed

It's good this air plain did not lose it's wing or tail or engine. Just some wall.

And I’m going to Flight Attendant training next month !!

Maddening

This is the Captain speaking as you may have noticed we have a hole in the plane, don't worry this completely normal and your in safe hands as I flew A10s missing a wing an engine a further distance than the where will land- is what I would say

I am flying to Florida next month on max 9 . And from Pdx non stop flight

If i was anywhere near that door, i would sue Alaskan airlines, and refuse their measley hush money

".....Planes are built to handle depressurization.....". That is: If the manufacturer hasn't cut corners in that area, too.

Nice

Had to be scary. Imagine sitting next to the door that came off.

Randpm but why was almost every passenger I've seen thus far on the flight asian?

Crony Capitalism and unfettered greed is what got us here.

Lesson: If an engineering company selling highly technical products starts being run by accountants and MBAs with no engineering background, SELL the stock 💀💀

I'm taking the car from now on. I'm good. I love road trips 😁

I am very sad for the Boeing organisation. Such an esteemed company with great employees ruined by inept management. Our American friends need to fix Boeing ASAP otherwise they will lose this industrial gem and this would not be good for anyone. Even for Airbus here is Europe a collapse of Boeing would be negative

Boeing: lets outsource the part of our compagny responsible for the fuselage.... Passengers: can we start screaming now??

Man is it still safe to fly on Alaska!?

Alaska: which class do you prefer economy, business or convertible? 😁

Nobody advertises Airbus better than Boeing.

Expect airlines to start charging premium for isle seats

But the depressurization alarm got off three times before just the week before and was also checked and reset three times and the plane was forbidden by Alaska Airlines to fly oversees to Hawaii if the depressurization alarm would go off again....Hey Alaska Airlines, this plane if from October 2023, should it not have been flown to Boeing for a problem check... Well, if they would have, Boeing would never in their wildest dreams thought that the plugged door would be ripped of the plane.

tahniah kepada krew kabin telah berjaya mendaratkan pesawat dengan selamat, dan penumpang yang patuh dengan sentiasa memakai tali pinggang keselamatan walaupun berada tanda pasangkan tali pinggang sudah dipadamkan

So Fight Club eventually ended up being correct.

That phone was found too

Wow this particular aircraft has been grounded. Amazing. What a bold decision. And totally unexpected 😂

....and i have to fly Alaska Airlines next week 😬

Why do they "plug" the door, so they can fit more passengers? Would of thought having another usable door/exit would be beneficial in emergencies.

Why isnt anyone talking about the passenger sitting next to the door that exploded? So she is OK, Great! BUT did she stay in her seat? Did she have to stay in her seat? What would you do.... just keeping sitting there, "like yeah this is fine". Dangle your feet out the side a little & have a really good time/enjoy the view. Whats the protocol/social norm in this situation?

Whats even crazier to me is how Boeing has managed to twist the narrative when issues have popped off in in other countries. This was an American carrier on American soil. Completely unacceptable. Im starting to second guess my trips on a Boeing.

When plane feels like 🚆🚆

Did they go back and get the boy’s phone? 😂

So that iPhone has been found is the next story to be covered.

If it’s Boeing I ain’t going 😂

What is a lifetime of trauma worth? Everyone on that flight will suffer trauma every time the need to fly for business, Xmas, ect. For those whose business relies on flying they may end up loosing a high paying job because they simply cannot step onto anouther airplane without immense suffering and panic attacks.

This is incident are "extremely rare". Perhaps to most aircraft. But it certainly not rare to a Boeing 737 Max, who's very familiar with disaster result.

I hate when you lose your phone like that.

Your next vacation will blow the doors off (too soon?)

Good morning

I flew to Seattle in Dec 2023 with Alaska Airlines. The people who allow this airplane to fly must go to prison for putting a lot of people’s life in danger! I won’t fly Alaska anymore!

Anyone here came from the the News short about the iPhone that was found after this happened: 👋

The McDonnell Douglas company and their door is haunting them even after their merger with Boeing 😂

$1500? Thats not going to pay for much therapy.

Corporations are quick to react when things go bad in America, immediately grounding all planes but when Boeing crashed in 2 developing countries, you gaslight them that it was human error. SHAME ON YOU.

I would file a class action lawsuit

pretty sure it was going to Canada right?

Everything was good until MAX was added. Though there are so many engineering changes Boeing did to 737 to match with Airbus A320. But it's not working. Boeing is unbeatable in Wide body jet and so the Airbus is in narrow body. Boeing should immediately stop trying to re-engineering 737. Better it should start from the scratch with a new plane if it wants to control the narrow body.

inside was wsj again travelling for free then how will boeing make good aircrafts?

Rip to that kids phone

Resulting to multiple calls for irrops

This is Great, a person with no aviation backround is the Head of the NTSB, only in America folks😪and the FAA is awesome allowing the Mouse to guard the cheese (Boeing) this is just the tip of the Iceberg.

Well I guess we'll see a new law that mandates all commercial flights use one privatized for-profit safety inspection company. How do you drive up the barrier to entry, reduce your competition, and increase the cost of your service?

Door could have hit back wing..

Boeing. Safety is our first priority 👌🏻

Psychological injury? Maybe 19505 you would say you got a fright

The Boeing plane was torn into pieces in mid-air. On the other hand, the Airbus hit a plane a third of its size in Japan, but it was still able to land safely with all its passengers with just minor injuries.

if it happened at 35000 feet scenario would have been completely different

What happened to the passenger who was sitting next to that door?

“Many loose bolts were found” Alaska Airlines

So nobody got sucked out on the row of that door? Amazing. They must have still had their seatbelts on from take off.

Boeing 737: the older it gets the better it used to fly.

Good thing everyone had thier seat belts on
