A series of incidents involving Boeing aircraft have raised concerns about aviation safety. A LATAM Airlines Boeing 787 flying from Sydney to Auckland experienced a sudden mid-air nosedive, injuring 50 passengers, after a flight attendant accidentally activated a switch on the pilot's seat while serving a meal. This incident has prompted Boeing to recommend airlines check the cockpit seat switches of their 787 Dreamliners. In a separate incident, a United Airlines flight from Dallas-Fort Worth to San Francisco landed safely after encountering a hydraulic leak. Additionally, a United Airlines Boeing 737 on an Oregon-bound flight from San Francisco to Medford successfully landed despite missing an external panel, discovered during a post-landing inspection. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is set to investigate these incidents, highlighting the ongoing scrutiny Boeing faces over safety concerns.
