Authorities found a torn Boeing 737 Max 9 door mid-flight

US aviation officials announced Sunday evening, January 7, that they had found a door panel detached from the cabin of an Alaska Airlines flight shortly after takeoff on Friday. The head of the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) said a teacher found it in his backyard in Portland, Oregon. “He took a photo. In the photos I see the outside of the door panel, the white parts. We didn't see anything else, but we're going to take it and analyze it.”She clarified.

Examining this document will help determine the causes of the Boeing 737 MAX 9 crash at an altitude of 5,000 meters. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) “Some Boeing 737 MAX 9 aircraft require immediate inspection before returning to flight”, he announced on X (formerly Twitter). He said around 171 flights worldwide would be affected and each inspection would take four to eight hours. Airlines and security agencies around the world have grounded some versions of the pending plane, and dozens of flights were canceled following the incident, which resulted in no injuries.

These studies involve 737 MAX 9 models “Middle Door Blocked”, as per the FAA directive published on its website. A door on these planes is sealed and hidden by a partition, revealing only one window, according to the NTSB, a configuration that Boeing offers to customers who request it. The European Aviation Safety Agency clarified that no operator in Europe is operating the 737 MAX 9 with the relevant technical options.
