    Four bolts hold the plug in place. This fact can be found in the design manuals, and there is an excellent video showing this design on You Tube. Why hasn't one reporter looked into the design of how the door is locked and asked her if the bolts are present or evidence that the bolts were ever installed (i.e. elongated bolt holes, damaged bolt holes, etc.). Pure speculation at this point but absent danage from bolts being ripped out, it is likely the bolts were not in place to hold the plug from being ripped down on its hinges and eventually departing the aircraft. If the bolts are indeed found to be absent, then the next question is for how long? Did Spirit Areosystens fail to install them when they manufactured the fuselage section, did Boeing remove them to ease assembly or did Alaska Airlines take them out to complete other maintenance?
    The most important question is will anyone lose their job if indeed the volts are found to be missing?

    Hmmm. Well, I'm no expert, but I watched another video about how the door plug is attached, and I think she's wrong about the stop fittings. The stop fittings aren't the real structural support. They are only there to seal the door and keep the airplane pressurized. The real structural support comes from two bolts at the top and two bolts that go through the cylinder of the hinges. I've also read that it is routine for the final assembly line to remove the door plug (after it's shipped to Seattle from Spirit), do their work, and reinstall the door plug. So ... my theory is that they never put those four bolts back in. The 12 stop fittings were able to hold for two months, but then they gave way. This would explain the 3 depressurization events. There is definitely a plausible relationship if the stop fittings were the only things holding the door on. This is the only theory I can think of that explains how the door plug could come off so cleanly.

      The stop fittings slide behind eachother so to speak. First the plug gets closed (against the fuselage). Then it slides down 1.5 inch. After that the plug should be secured by locking bolts to prevent it from moving up again which would result in a misalignment between the fittings of the plug and those of the frame.

    • @Part_121
      @Part_121 4 месяца назад +1

      Nope, she's absolutely correct. Pretty much every door in a pressurized fuselage is designed that way. Everything else on the door is just to ensure it's in the correct position, and that the corresponding stops on the door, align with the fixed stops on the fuselage when pressurization happens. It's really the only way it can work when you consider the amount of force on those doors. I'm not up to speed with these newer aircraft, but on older aircraft they would be tested, in service.. not sure what the manufacturing tests would be, at a max pressure differential of 8 lbs. PSI. I would love to know the square inch area of that particular door so we could multiply that by 8. The outward force adds up pretty quickly.

    Whatever maintenance schedule the 737Max is on, I would accelerate the number of inspections in order to capture what seems to have been a shoddy production by Boeing. If after a certain amount of time it is deemed unnecessary to perform the inspections, it can be reduced.

    I am so stunned to hear that modern airliners have CVRs that overwrite themselves and don't (at a minimum) last the whole flight.....I am stunned that the full flight data (of any flight, not just ones with events) are not automatically downloaded and archived in airline servers after each flight.....cockpit conversations of the previous flights of this aircraft could also have contained useful info, no?

      She referred to the flight attendants as "heroic", which in the circumstances is a fair characterisation of their actions.
      In this issue, Noone on the aircraft could have affected the cause of this, but the flight crew landed the aeroplane safely with no injuries. I don't think they could have done better!
      This is not a behavioural issue, this is a faulty aircraft. As things stand, I think the direction of the investigation will head towards Boeing and Alaskan. Either way, this appears to be a profits over people situation.

    When she says "no correlation" between pressurization warnings and the plug door departing, she must mean "no known causation". There is an obvious correlation, by the fact that the two events occurred concurrently. She confuses correlation with causation. If she only has an engineering degree that is excusable.
    Also it should be interesting what the media interviewers will get out of the two passengers who would otherwise have been destined for quite an interesting trip in seats 26A and 26B, having a gaping hole appear next to them, and no functioning oxygen supply. Undoubtedly "there must have been a reason why we missed the flight".

    It's clear from these comments that most of you are stunningly ignorant about how the NTSB works and what it does. It is NOT a regulatory agency. The NTSB can make recommendations. It cannot force anyone -- airlines, manufacturers, the pilots' union, or the FAA -- to do anything. Only the FAA can. Do you understand that? The NTSB is about AVIATION SAFETY. The FAA is supposed to regulate aviation safety, but it has a terrible reputation. That's why it's known in aviation circles as the Tombstone Agency. The FAA (and Congress) won't do jack until enough bodies pile up. The NTSB can beg and beg and beg the FAA to implement safety measures -- it's been asking to force the FAA to do away with the lap children exemption since the 80s, but THE PUBLIC is against it because wahhhhh, you don't want to pay more for an infant seat -- but that's all the NTSB can do. Furthermore, every one of you dim bulbs complaining about Jennifer Homendy and the briefing don't have a clue what you're talking about. The NTSB is one of the best-operating and most transparent agencies around. You can find the procedure for analyzing accidents and incidents on their website. They have entire TEAMS of investigators. You couldn't even name one, just the man you know is in charge. If you want to whine and complain, direct your complaints to the FAA and your congress members.
