Boeing's Training Failures_ Door Plug Blowout Blamed

The article from Manufacturing Dive reports on the National Transportation Safety Board's (NTSB) findings regarding the January 2024 Alaska Airlines door plug blowout, attributing the incident to Boeing's inadequate training, guidance, and oversight of its factory workers. The NTSB's investigation revealed that missing bolts were not replaced after repairs at a Boeing factory and that proper records and inspections were not completed.
