A preliminary report from the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) revealed that four key bolts were missing from the door plug of a Boeing 737 Max 9, which led to the panel blowing off mid-flight on an Alaska Airlines aircraft. The incident occurred on January 5th shortly after takeoff from Portland, Oregon. The missing bolts were found to be crucial in holding the door plug in place, and the NTSB's findings suggest that the bolts were absent when the plane was delivered to Alaska Airlines. The report indicates that the missing bolts were a significant factor in the blowout, and the investigation has raised concerns about the safety of Boeing's aircraft.
