Boeing 737-800 engine cover falls off during Southwest flight
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 апр 2024
- A Houston-bound Boeing 737-800 plane operated by Southwest Airlines returned safely to Denver International Airport on Sunday after an engine cover fell off and struck the wing flap, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.
The agency said it will investigate.
In recorded air traffic control audio, one of the pilots said that “several passengers and flight attendants heard something loud hit the wing.”
In a statement to CNN, Southwest said passengers would take another plane to Houston and would be approximately three hours behind schedule.
“We apologize for the inconvenience of their delay but place our highest priority on ultimate Safety for our Customers and Employees,” the statement said. Southwest said no injuries were reported.
Boeing declined to comment and referred CNN to Southwest for information about plane and fleet operations.

Maybe because so many other things are even less important to them.

Boeing is the best advertisement Airbus could wish for
It was not Boeing that caused a 2015-built and delivered plane to lose a part of an engine lmao, southwest should learn how to maintain their aircraft properly.
This has nothing to do with Boeing... This is likely due to an oversight on the behalf of the Southwest Airlines maintenance team.
I am an aircraft mechanic and I tell you things like this are rare in airbus
Seems like people are missing the joke here,but I found it hilarious😆
"Customer safety is our highest priority..." after stock prices that is
You’d think they’d care about safety even if only for the stock price.
But managers compensation and terms of employment are unrelated to the business or stock performance.
You are quoting Southwest airlines in this instance... not Boeing 😆

There probably weren't enough thoughts and prayers to fix the parts.
Actually, it's donuts and bolts.
Why hasn't literally every single Boeing plane been recalled at this point?
Why? You don’t know the cause, more than likely the cowl latches either failed for some reason or they weren’t fastened correctly. Not necessarily the manufactures fault. This has happened before and wasn’t related to the manufacturer. If the wheel on your car falls off after you just had new tyres fitted do you blame the manufacturer of the vehicle?
Did you even bother watching the video?
As an American, Boeing is such an embarrassment. Back in the day, Boeing was admired worldwide. So sad to watch their downward spiral.
@DerekDavis213 I agree and i wish Lockheed or Northrup would start making airliners again, but this time it wasn't Boeing's fault. This is clearly a maintenance issue.

And also to their deceitfulness.
Because they were too stupid to realize that an engine fell off.
@@rooster1012 There's a thing you have to know about pilots:
"Dying is inevitable. Losing your cool is unforgivable." A plane can be in a 90 degree dive and the pilot needs to be calm and in control to try to find some way to save their aircraft.

everytime a boeing loses a wing, their CEO gets a bonus
This was a maintenance issue. The plane has been in service for 9 years (it was delivered in 2015), and it belongs to the previous generation of 737, the 737NG. It was probably ordered around 2008. It's cost-cutting bullshit, but it's cost-cutting bullshit that was the airline's fault, not Boeing's.
Everytime a Boeing plane loses its wings, a CEO's bonus bell rings.

@@Roger_Eit’s Boeing fault
The only thing surprising about this incident is that it wasn't a United Airlines flight.
Failures are more likely to be United then SW ... United has a larger fleet. Third biggest for mainline fleet, but second on flightrader so guessing there's some subcontracting type stuff going into that number.
Incidents happen with all airliners all over the world. United had the bad luck of having some viral videos, and thus is getting higher scrutiny due to those videos. Did you know a Delta plane also lost a wheel (prior to takeoff) a month prior to the United ? And one a year prior that also fell off (that nearly hit another plane)? There were no viral videos so very little coverage.
Check out some atc videos here on youtube and a database of avaitation incidents to get a perhaps fairer take on what's up.
Your joke falls flat because UA is one of MANY planes that use Boeings
@@DannyBPlays You do realize that United was called Untied Airlines for years for a reason, right?
Airbus 320 *time and time again* beats out the pathetic *low IQ Seattle, Washington* Boeing 737 since the fucking 80s........
I was on a United 8 Max two weeks ago, I really don't need to think about dodging a bullet.
What about the safety of the people on the ground when that stuff falls out of the sky.
Another reminder not to take anything for granted, but will people even care?
You raise a good point!
I mean, this is even more dangerous than a door plug falling off. A ripped-off engine cover could increase drag massively, causing the plane to lose lift on one side and roll especially during take off. Good thing the cover tore itself off entirely. That's not to mention pieces of it could have jammed the flap or hit the tail. The whole plane could have been brought down easily.

Run
At this point it just sounds like aircraft maintenence personnel are doing a horrible job all over the US.
4 years ago the airlines came to the government hat in hand asking for a bailout or the industry would go under because of COVID-19. They got the bailout but then put that money into stock buybacks and dividend payouts, not into the company. 4 years later, we have all kinds of maintenance BS happening - wheels falling off, maintainers forgetting to latch doors, all that kind of crap.
It's not the maintainers. It's the people above them on the corporate ladder who are pressuring them to spend as little money as possible to pay their bottom lines. Maintainers want their aircraft to fly right every time.
Damn, these new Boeings are death traps.

@@artjackson8360 you work for boeing by any chance ?
No cover charge

The passengers got together and carpooled. Safer and better food.
Not really. Even with the MAX crashes, cars are far more lethal than airliners. I won't argue about the food, though.
I did recall shortly after 9-11 people felt it was safer to drive than fly. The fatalities due to car accidents increased at that time. You're more likely to suffer a fatal accident driving to the airport than flying in a plane.

@@Dan-di9jd It's the feeling of control that we have as humans. In a car you can, at any moment, just stop the car and walk. In the air? Not so much you can do when the plane just dive cockpit-first into a ditch just after take off.

This doesn't sound like a Boeing issue. It sounds like a Southwest maintenance issue.
Remember that two 737's crashed nose first into the ground. 100's of people were lost. 100 percent a Boeing issue!
Sounds like United’s problem not southwest. Hahaha
I don't think it even happened. What is the likelihood that a greedy manufacturer and a greedy airline company wouldn't care about safety before profit
@DerekDavis213 Those Airlines didn't have updated manuals on the different features of the 737 Max. Is it Boeing's fault when it is the airline's responsibility to have the right paperwork?
@@scale_model_apprentice Come on, the case of the 2 airliners that went down nose first into the ground has been discussed forever.
Boeing was clearly at fault there, 100 percent for certain. Boeing wanted to pass-off the 737 Max as similar to 737, to avoid re-training pilots. Boeing concealed critical information that led to 100's of people being lost. And then Boeing did not properly compensate their families. Just awful.
As an aircraft mechanic I always worry about forgetting those latches.

And it was missed again during he preflight.

@@omarbatista7970 well the account is 17 years old so…
This is why Japanese airlines and bullet trains have touch and check after every service
A guy is very highly trained to the point its muscle memory goes over the entire plane or train and checks every fastener is there and tight
"This is not a 737 Max" Yeah dude, very reassuring. :D
If it was a Max, the whole engine would’ve probably fallen off.
Nobody:
Boeing when any airline incident happens: "IT'S NOT A 737 MAX"
I mean, this is a maintenance issue, not production issue.
Still, they don't realize that "it's not a Max" would actually be more concerning than if it were, since it's an indication of issues with every aircraft Booing builds instead of just one line.
You guys need to realise that engines aren't made by aircraft builders.
@@nathanwray2470 TRUTH!
Sounds like a quality control improvement.
@CNN - This is not a Boeing 737 Max issue, nor any other variant of the 737. It is also not an engine issue in any way, shape, or form. This was almost 100% a maintenance crew forgetting to latch the engine cover after routine maintenance. This has happened before both on the 737 (nearly any variant), and the Airbus A320 series....as well as many other aircraft types. The issue would by if any part of the cover was ingested into the engine, or if it hit a control surface. The engine covers are considerably light - on purpose, and are easily damaged. Slow news day?
According to Boeing this is a feature-makes the plane more aerodynamic. 😂
😂😂
I’m guessing it does the opposite but definitely makes the aircraft lighter.
This is not Boeing's fault. This is on Southwest. Air lines are responsible for maintaining their equipment
This has nothing to do with Boeing... This is likely due to an oversight on the behalf of the Southwest Airlines maintenance team.
Looks like another airline could not afford to buy more screws or they ran out of duct tape.
😂😂😂😂😂
@Dude-qq6bi speed tape, not duct tape!
Duck tape
It’s Boeing’s fault not southwest
@@captaincrunch6500lmfao youre out of your damn mind. Plane is 9 years old. That cover has been taken off more times than your mom’s underwear. Whatever southwest mechanic took it off last, plain and simply didn’t fasten it appropriately.
Trying to be fair to Boeing here, as it would seem that at some point since the aircraft entered service with Southwest, it had the cowling removed & replaced as part of routine engine maintenance. If this was a brand new plane that was making it’s first few flights since arriving from the factory, or if the screws are found to be substandard, that is a different story, but I think the real issue here is “in-service” maintenance by Southwest.
You used to worry about the airline losing your luggage. Now you are more concerned about it losing doors, windows, engines, cowlings and people while in flight.
This is one of the best responses on this video...
Reminder that every air carrier is responsible for maintenance of their aircraft once sold. Just like your car. Boeing definitely has their manufacturing quality issues, but engine cowl/shround problems on an existing aircraft was a carrier maintenance failure on Southwest, not Boeing.
if your hood blew off while you were on the highway.... that is definitely a manufacturer issue.
@@moremiaj4786 Not if it blew off because your mechanic removed it and then forgot to re-attach it properly before sending you off to drive on the highway.
@@moremiaj4786that would only apply to you taking immediate possession from manufacturer. Once that hood is opened to service the vehicle, it’s literally your responsibility to make sure it’s latched properly before getting on the road. You don’t just change oil then let it drop and hope for the best. You push down on it to make sure it’s latched all the way. You know that, i know that, everyone here knows that. So why pretend?
Fine, but how positive is the latch, is it idiotproof and is there any obviously visible indication that shows it is in the correct position?
@@zimvader25 The point is if the hood is latched properly and the car is properly maintained and the hood blows off it's a manufacturing issue. Stop playing dumb.
Passengers traveling with screws get a discount 🤣
Damn... I would have believed it if it was spirit
Actually, the discount only applies if they have the complete fastener stack - bolt, two washers and nut. Screws are not accepted. Lock wire or cotter pins gets you mileage.
This is getting ridiculous
This happens to jets of all kinds, not just Boeings. Do not let the news fool you. This is something that happens from time to time. The plane made it down safely even with this issue, that’s the thing to pay attention too.
@@Eric_BassettPeople not putting bolts on (door, wheel) "happens all the time??" F that. I'll br down here w my 15 y.o. Ford, which is saying a lot.
Sure, the spotlight is on them now. But they got what was coming to them.
Wow, just wow!
Airbus needs to release an advert saying “experience the difference:
- our doors don’t randomly pop off.
- our engines don’t fall apart mid air.
- our software doesn’t force the plane into a nose dive which the pilots are unable to pull out of.
It’s the little things that make the difference with Airbus.”
Yeah, that the A300 had this on China airlines but on the reverse...the simulators they were trained on, in Thailand, I think it was, were programed to act like another plane. That one, if you push forward , the Go Around the copilot accidentally initiated (BAD DESIGN, right there) would disengage. Not on that "new plane," tho. It's going to accelerate and climb until you follow a specific set of shutdown actions. Damn thing stalled seconds to landing, too. Both pilots faught the autopilot all the way down, crashing next to runway.
Wow, their maintenance department sucks.
YES! Not Boeing!
If you forget to close the hood properly on your 20 year old Ford, it isn't Ford's fault.
nope... boeing sucks
Some mechanic is being terminated right now.
@@siaf2398That’s a you problem sorry it is what it is
This is not even remotely comparable.
Not the first time something like this happens. It seems to me that the most likely scenario was that someone from maintenance forgot to latch the cowls and no one caught it before flight. There are plenty of videos of this same thing happening on different planes including airbus, so it’s unlikely Boeing is at fault for a change
It clearly had issues BEFORE takeoff, based on the video! The plane appears to be in its takeoff roll as parts of the engine cover rip away.
South West airlines released a statement "my bad"

@@nelsonbergman7706 , watch last week tonight
Some of these issues are maintenance staff issues.

NOT a Boeing issue.
Nope. They're absolutely terrified the media will take one look at the Aviation Herald and realize just how many incidents occur on both major types _every day._
Boeing has major company issues, but most of this media attention at EVERY Boeing related incident is just bad PR luck of their own making.
NAH JIT TRIPPIN
The incident to flight ratio is actually higher for Airbus than Boeing. It's just that there are so many more Boeing planes and flights that you hear more about Boeing planes having issues.
That’s something the airlines should’ve inspected before take off,I wish airlines would quit blaming Boeing for stuff that they’re responsible too maintain after delivery of planes,
these airline maintenance workers must be very pissed of at their jobs might be time for a giant raise.
What are the chances that this is another, "The bolts were not installed or installed correctly at the factory" incident...?
Zero. This aircraft was delivered in 2015 - it's been making successful flights for almost a decade.
at this point you know what you’re getting into when you get on a boeing
Lol. Girl, same thing as getting into your car...I'll take my chance with a plane than being in a car. I ride my bike everywhere, but then again, I stopped leaving the house because anyone can kill you the moment you step outside.
A flying coffin
Not a Boeing problem. This is an aircraft that has been in service for some time, and the responsibility for maintenance on a nearly decade-old plane lies with the airline (or owner, if a leased plane). Boeing has big issues - but this is not one of them!
As with any aircraft incident there will be an investigation.
We just don't know yet.
optics matter
This may be true, but it's still bad for Boeing.
Regardless, this isn't a good look for Boeing either way
@@WilhelmEley If it was a manufacturing issue (Boeing's jurisdiction), it would have happened very early in the plane's lifetime. This is an older plane, so it is highly likely to be a maintenance issue.
I want to fly out from states in May. I'd rather drive the 3000 miles than take a plane at this point!
Fly Airbus.
yeah, statistics still arent on your side....
Why? thousands of people die every day on the road. last time someone died on a boeing was over two years ago. Last time it happened it north America was a decade ago.
Flying is still far safer than driving.
Try Delta, most of their flights are on Airbus planes. Don’t let anyone make you feel like you’re being unreasonable. Even though it’s unlikely for one to crash, all these maintenance issues cause delays that I don’t want to deal with either.
It’s almost like people are just now realizing that this does happen on occasion, very rare but it happens.
I’m screaming! 😮
Likely somebody didn't latch the cowling.
What is that 😂
@@TJVegan. Its the button on the steering wheel.
@@TJVegan. Here, hope this helps .. daboolid
Yes, airline maintenance issue; not Boeing.
Someone didn't latch things down correctly after the cover was open for work? edit to add, there's a Seattle Times article on a similar incident in 2022, and yeah, missed bottom cover latches. Good informative article on there.

@@sardonumspa8113or maybe it's just short staffing. Anyone can make a mistake when there aren't enough people on the crew and the few that are aren't given enough time.
This incident has absolutely NOTHING to do with it being a Boeing aircraft. There are latches on the bottom of the engine cowling that when unlatched allow the two halves to open upward on hinges so the engine can be serviced. One of the duties of the flight crew member who is doing the walk around of the plane before the flight, is to check thes latches. This incident, like so many of the recent incidents being reported with Boeing aircraft, are maintenance issues, plain and simple.
Hello there👋,how are you feeling today!God bless you!!!❤
Secret Reports:
Everyone on that flight is lucky to be alive. The engine cowling could have caused the flaps to jam unsymmetrically, causing the affected plane to go into a spiral stall all the way to the ground.
Anyone on the ground would have had spectacular footage of a jet spiraling down in a ball of fire.

Not to mention dying in a car accident caused by lack of quality of the car/design/building mistakes the company made, is quite rare. Meanwhile those kind of mistakes eradicate hundreds of people in one go or rather, plane crash.

@@martinhumble I have 3. 740i BMW, S550 Benz, Range Rover Sport. I'm covered.

This is not news I was on a JetBlue Airbus out of KEWR and this happened. We turned around and landed 15 minutes after taken off. This is an issue with ground crews not the plane.

Think about who the shareholders are and what benefits they have in this world and I can assure you they don’t fly the airlines they own shares in because they have their own planes which depending on their tax accountant is a business expense with certain perks.

So happy I don't have stock in Boeing
you should actually buy it. the us government will not allow boeing to fail because the company is vital for national security. they are also backordered for years. they just need new management to actually care more about quality control than golf, mistresses, and market share. just when to enter and exit the position is going to take some study. I guess the real worry is that the government with nationalize the company temporarily which could wipe out all the common stock holders. then private equity comes in and guts the company which would really be scary. some day boeing stock will be like NVIDA again. be ready for that day.

I highly doubt this had anything to do with Boeing. Boeing doesn’t manufacture the engines and my second guess would be that this could’ve been an issue with the engine covers post maintenance

Jesus Christ, Boeing is not responsible for this issue
"Boeing doesn’t manufacture the engines"
When you buy a Ford or Chevy or Toyota, much of the parts of the car are not made by the auto companies themselves. But the auto companies *are* *responsible* for the safety of that vehicle!
Ford, Chevy, etc choose the components, test them, and integrate them. Safety is their responsibility.
This is was most likely a MX issue. That's like saying your Toyota got an issue with its engine after being at the mechanic shops. It's not Toyota's fault after they sell you the vehicle, is it? Someone at SWA did not catch the cowling not being secured properly. Hope that makes more sense!
@@DerekDavis213 that’s a good point. There are 100’s of automotive accidents everyday and thousands of deaths annually.

The aircraft landed safely and no one was injured. I’ve seen this time and time again, a company has some sort of incident that makes it news worthy and the media reports on it, fair enough. But another occurrence involving the same company and now the media jumps on it, they just report about it over and over again trying to make it something it’s not, they trawl back events not even related to the current one

“I don’t need to point out where….”
Because you can’t.
“The aircraft landed safely and…”
They literally say that, and explain why.
“…report over and over…”
They only had 1 segment on their channel.
During the day each host will talk about it.
But it’s that way with any news.
Your just hypersensitive to this kind of news about planes for some reason.
@@Acer_Maximinus they are blowing it out of proportion by talking about it twice in a short video. I don’t need to point anything out to you because if you read my first unedited comment I say “media” meaning in general terms, I never said this video - you did. This video forms part of the media hype about a story when BOEING is mentioned. If each host talks about during the day then they are further adding to the sensationalising of it. The OP is scared - why? Because the media is making these things into something it’s not. I’m hypersensitive to news and the BS they carry on about - never let the truth get in the way of a good story
Do not forget, this is the same manufacturer who knew their 737 models were recalled and chose to keep them in the air because it was the cheaper alternative. Then, 157 passengers and crew died in Ethiopia.
It's like Ford all over again. Not that they don't all do it
Plane was delivered in 2015. Maintenance fault, not manufacturing.
Pretty sure they are the biggest airline supplier in the world. More planes than anyone else so its within reason there would be more incidents than other companies
Well at least the airline apologized - that should make it all better
Remember when airlines used to advertise?
Very funny. It is like the old marketing adage: “There is no such thing as bad publicity.”
People use the web now. It's 2024.
Remember, when there wasn’t such a shortage of aircraft, they had to advertise
I see ads for EMIRATES all the time.. on Toronto Blue Jays games.
Good grief!
I am surprised that their stock price is somehow still fine
Hopefully you mean Southwest... This has nothing to do with Boeing... This is likely due to an oversight on the behalf of the Southwest Airlines maintenance team.
The model isn't important. All planes should be safe and well maintained.
Most are, but it will never be 100% incident free. No industry or mode of transportation will be. That’s just not reality. Hundreds of 737s flew without incident today. This is hardly news.
Well, the model is important when you know that Boeing 737-Max are a failed design (I know this was a 737-800, different plane). So models are very important when one of them is a complete design failure and others are not.
Except Tupolev
@@moos5221 eh, the max is not a complete design failure by any means. The airframe design is sound.. the cap blew off that Alaska flight and it landed safely and in tact. The 737 is a solid and proven design.
@@Eric_Bassett The 737 is a very good plane, no doubt, but the 737-Max is obviously a failure. How could you argue against it, it's proven. 346 people died jsut because Boeing wanted to have a plane to compete with Airbus, so they strapped too large turbines under the 737 and implemented a software taking control of the plane when the "engineers" thought the pilots couldn't handle the bad aerodynamics of the failed modification to make it 737-Max. I hope everyone responsible will spend considerable time in jail, everyone of them.
Wow, WTF is going on,??? I'm not flying anywhere anymore. Scared shirtless 😲😯😲
Actually, there's more risk being on the ground and having an airplane part fall on you.
You're at greater risk walking down the street than flying on an airplane. The statistics do not lie.
sir, please....this is a family channel ....
@@craig7350exactly. Never leave the house. And make sure the house can withstand falling plane parts. Or the whole plane. And everything will be fine.
You could tell that that was a sign that had torn off in the wind and was blown onto the runway. The plane did not brake anything.
Boeing is committed to preventing crash, in its stock price
This is an airline maintenance issue. But, you made your point about Boeing and sadly, yourself.
Oh, boy….
If it's BOEING - I ain't GOING.
That’s a great slogan! If Boeing was running for president, the opponent would love that
" Look Ma Engine Cowling Just blew off "
If it's Boeing, I'm not going.
😂😂😂
Airbus is gonna have a field day because of this
@@thisistheend1904will do
This was a Southwest issue, not a Boeing one in this instance. The plane has been flying for 9 years and has nothing to do with it's manufacture. I get it, Boeing has some serious issues that need to be addressed immediately, quality control has been seriously lacking for a number of years with more of a focus on the bottom line than safety. Many say this is due to the McDonnell Douglas buy out in 1997 and them getting onto the board. But this instance isn't due to this issue.
@thisistheend1904 you know there are other companies that make planes, right?
Sounds (literally) like the pilots and the air traffic control did their jobs well, good job!
These planes are literally falling apart.
Don't trust anything made in America same quality as Chinese parts 😂😂🤣🤣
If you don't close the hood on your car it will come off if you go fast enough. Don't blame the manufacturer for a maintenance issue.
Stop blaming Boeing for the stupidity of an airline crew who takes off with an engine cover on ,geez
It's actually a latch mechanism design problem, so Boeing is partially at fault.
You do realise that Boeing doesn't make engines?
@@StefanWithTrains3222 Yes and No ... Boeing work closely with CFM (from GE) which produces the majority ... the cowling and maintenance of the engine involved both parties during development. GE doesn't just make an engine in a vacuum and hope Boeing will accept it. But either way, it's Boeing's job to ensure whatever engine they attach and it maintenance are safe. Cowling latch design is something that has come up before but got put on the back burning as more pressing issues (like delivery and maintenance) took priority. There have been many other failures that apparently shouldn't have happened but did (like fan blade separation). Sorta like if my Lotus catches on fire due to engine failure, I don't got to Toyota that makes the engine, I got to Lotus his is responsible.
Did they have to dump fuel prior to landing?
Dang Pete....You're doing a stand up job in that Transportation sector you control!!
Engine cover? We don't need no stinking engine cover?
Probably the people it ended up falling on.
It helps with noise and birds flying in the engine
Exactly! if the engine is covered up, how are people even supposed to know one is there? Better to expose it.
At this point I’ll walk to Dallas
Traveling in one of these in a few months. That should be exciting.
For "some" reason this is back in the news today on MSN even though it happened a month ago.
Kudos to the pilots and ATC for their professionalism and composure during this incident. This sounds like a maintenance issue as apposed to a defect in the 737 design and thus not a Boeing problem, so careful to not blow it out of proportion. Keep in mind too that the 737 in all versions is the most produced commercial aircraft in the world, and as such will always show a greater number of any incidents, major or minor simply because there are so many in the air all the time. Think about this though, with between 4000 to 5000 fights in the air over North America right now, how many of those are 737's, taking off or landing without a hitch?????
Boeing does not make the engines that power the 737 nor do they design or manufacture the engine nacelle. GE does. Furthermore, WN is responsible for maintaining both the engine and the aircraft and the FAA will be looking at their practices, not Boeing's. The sensationalistic coverage of every minor incident involving a Boeing jet is an embarrassment.
I think the state of Boeing as a company is the bigger embarrassment..........
This definitely seems like a maintenance issue, not a manufacturing issue.
They didn’t make the fuselage or install the door prop either yet still managed to be responsible for the almost fatal incident. Someone at Boeing probably uninstalled the engine cover, didn’t replace the screws and didn’t document it.
Engine cowls are airframe components, not engine components.
Like the doors that fly off?@@brian5o
Somebody forgot to latch the doors they use to service the oil
I live rigbt next to the airport and saw this while driving. I noticed it looked a little slow on take off almost like it was sitting there. Then it banked hard right (left from where I could see it) climed once, and then landed. You could see something dangling. Didnt know it was a engine cover 😮
