If it’s Boeing, I’m not going.
Yes it was a Max 9, and yes wait for the aviation herald report for details.
We usually start New Year's with good news and promises we won't keep... Not with total failures. This is not good for their reputation.
Nothing they've been doing has been good for their reputation for about 5 or 6 years now. That's what happens when people who don't understand the industry start being managers rather than engineers.
According to this news site, it's only a 2 month old plane. https://abc30.com/alaska-airlines-flight-emergency-landing-plane-window-blown-out-ontario-california/14284437/
Most defects appear either early or late into a products lifecycle
Apparently some planes are designed so the side doesn't fall off at all. I just don't want people thinking planes aren't safe!
Was this plane safe?
I was thinking more of the other ones.
Not really a window. It’s a plug put in where an optional emergency exit door would be. (Or so I’ve read elsewhere)
Oh, well that’s completely fine then.
New functional emergency exit. Actually working better than designed.

Is it bad that my first thought on reading the headline was 'it's gonna be a fucking MAX, isn't it?'
I remember watching a documentary that went over how the corporate culture in Boeing changed post the McDonnell Douglas accusation. The last plane that was done right was the 777.
'There was a kid in that row, his shirt was sucked off him and out of the plane. His mother was holding onto him to make sure he didn't go with it,' a man on the first flight said
New phobia unlocked
Well, the fact that it was still able to make the landing is remarkable. This isn't the Comet after all...
Airplanes are crazy over engineered. Something like half the systems can fail and they’ll still be able to land the plane.
The safety regulations are written in blood, but they’ve continually prevented more disasters.
I’m sure the MAX 9 is going to have a lot of investigation done very soon.
Boeing is trying hard to unravel all that
Very different modes of failure. Metal fatigue ripping apart fault lines in structural metal is very different from an emergency exit door popping out.
