United Airlines has discovered loose bolts on several Boeing 737 MAX 9 planes following the Alaska Airlines incident that saw a door blowout shortly after take-off.
FOX Business reached out to Boeing for comment about what was revealed during the inspection.
“Since we began preliminary inspections on Saturday, we have found instances that appear to relate to installation issues in the door plug – for example, bolts that needed additional tightening,” the statement read.
Alaska Airlines Flight 1282 on Friday evening took off from Portland, Oregon, bound for California, when the door plug blew open mid-flight causing the pilots to make an emergency landing.
The Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) then ordered the temporary grounding of the Boeing model in the US over safety concerns for the remaining fleet.
Following the incident, shares for Boeing and Spirit AeroSystems have tanked.

"DIVERSITY" is our GREATEST strength.
Boeing is a disgrace. This is what DEI policies and focusing only on profits leads to. Hiring unqualified people that put citizens lives at risk. Shame on these vile, greedy, and corrupt CEO's and Board
Those colonial white supremists bolts . We refuse to tighten them
Letting this company buy out McDonnell Douglas in 1997 has been a HUGE disaster for the public and public safety.
Total 🗑 company now.
Eliminating competition leads to reduced quality time after time after time.
Sabotage DEI hire
boing too busy making weapons and left the nut loose so passengers can fly and have some nice experience
Biden’s docs discovered loose bolts in his head too, what a coinkydink 😂
Obviously poor safety controls on both ends – with the manufacturer Boeing and with mechanical staff employed by airlines to check the mechanical soundness of a plane. Quite concerning that United Airlines only discovered loose bolts after the planes were grounded.
Affirmative action selected?
Purple haired pilot ?? with nose ring ??
Boeing has a well-deserved history of outstanding aircraft manufacturing and safety.
However, it only takes one person to destroy that reputation with either a genuine oversight or a criminal act of deliberate sabotage.
Diversity hire mechanics
All apart of the plan ,, to scare people from flying ,
It’s a thinker lol
safety standards???
If you are like me and fascinated in how this could happen I can recommend watching blancolirio and Chris Brady 737 channels as both go into the issues in depth. To my layman's mind the door plug could not possibly move up to unlatch itself unless all four bolts were missing, not just loose. There is also a washer and nut complete with locknut on the end of the hinges. It seems again to my untrained mind that the door plug could not slide off these hinge pins without these nuts missing as well. I wonder if that was the case whether the open door would have still been attached to the aircraft possibly causing even bigger problems. Will will ever get to know the real reason?
Sounds like sabotage!
Well done by the flight crew returning safely to land!
The big question is, do you trust these people with your life. Personally NO.
Bad year to start with
So, theyre not regularly checking this stuff
