  1. Apparently everything at Boeing is being done by the same kid from Costco with the green hair and the nose ring who has absolutely no idea where the canned spinach is…

  2. Why are the news media getting there facts wrong, over this mid air accident, the fuselage did not blow out.

    What happened here, is where there is a emergency door exit hatchway opening in the rear fuselage side, this Boeing 737-9 Max passenger aircraft, does not require an emergency door exit hatchway at this location.

    However the standard Boeing 737-9 passenger aircraft still comes with all the emergency door exit hatchways, even if they are not needed for passenger and crew use.

    So instead of a standard emergency door exit pressurised hatch being installed, a pressurised non-opening plug section is installed in the hatchway opening.

    Then on the internal side of the fuselage, this pressurised non-opening plug section, is covered over with standard internal passenger fuselage interior panels, so it looks like the rest of the passenger compartment.

    So in place of the door exit hatch blowing out, what happen was a plug section blow out along with taking some internal fuselage panels and window, plus maybe a unoccupied passenger seat too.

    There is a big difference, from what some in the news media are saying and claiming, on television and radio news programmes, or in newspapers too.

    Has this missing emergency exit door or plug and missing internal fuselage panels and window etc, actually been found somewhere under this Boeing 737-9 Max passenger aircraft short take-off and climbing flight path?

    As this missing exit door and missing internal fuselage panels plus a window too, must have come down somewhere?

    There are some who are saying even one unoccupied passenger seat blow out too, which appears to be missing too, so this passenger seat must have landed or impacted on the ground somewhere or has hit something too?
