Folks, these engine cowlings are heavy! Easy to see when maintenance fails to properly latch how that air pressure makes em look like paper…. I’m glad nothing worse happened. Nice job by the flight crew with the emergency.
I’m sure the passengers will get a nice voucher from SWA for a future flight. We know you have a choice, thank you for choosing Southwest.🤦♂️
Re enact of the best twilight zone episode ever. Gremlins😮 did it
Ah yes, the window seat nightmare at 20,000 feet that sent William Shatner to a mental ward. If they redid it today, Shatner would be sitting next to the door on Alaska Airlines.
Boeing sees video, Boeing sends superglue.
What for ? To glue the lips tight of anyone who can help in the investigation?😂
Speed tape is now on sale
...and duct tape, the wings of man.....
It is easy to miss the latches that are on the very bottom of the engine cowling. The pilot and ramp personnel are supposed to check that the latches are closed, but if the cowling is closed and the latches are partially but not completely snapped in place, this is what can happen. Maintenance must have been working on the engine sometime before this flight and thought they closed it properly. Cowlings have also detached on A319/320 aircraft for the same reason. I’d recommend that the pilot touches those latches on every walk around, and carry something with him or her that they can kneel on while they reach under the engine. I’m surprised that this doesn’t happen even more often because of the pressure of getting the flight turned around and back in the air. The walk around can be expected to look a certain way and that mentality can make the pilot and ramp personnel to mentally tick that box.
This is very true on the NG model 737's, but on the Max's it's a very different latching hardware, the latch's are painted orange and you must push it up to securely latched and there is a handle under the oil service door it must be also push in before you can close the oil service door.
Those latches hang down when Open.. pretty easy to see. They are something like 4 inches Long
The national news media will blame Boeing, and not maintenance.
Just as they blamed Boeing when a 737 pilot drove the airplane off the taxiway and into a mud hole.
Why do pilots have to get on their hands and knees to check these latches? Why not just fire the maintenance people who neglected their duties?
@@billbabbs3871 shows just how long it takes for improvements to get from "Military" to "Commercial" applications ... I came up with "International Orange" markings on Latches back in the mid 1980's; we lost a Radom on one of our F-16's because the 1/4" drive lock wasn't fully in "locked" position by the ground crew ... a "visual" mistake rectified. Added the IO color ... best I could come up with given "You can't fix stupid" parameters.

Forgot to latch cowling?
Probs, happened to an a320 no too long ago
Keyed fan cowl latches with big red flags on most 320’s now
Yeah, I'm guessing that's what happened. I suspect the FAA will be talking to whoever signed off on the last work done to that engine.
Def ... and as "idiot proofing" is done by folks like at Hartwell (manufacturer) does, there's always idiots that simply forget to look ...
@@craigsowers8456 we used to call that Poka-yoke (ポカヨケ, [poka joke])
A passenger and his Wife that were on board the flight (Southwest 3695 DEN to HOU) reported via a relative to AVASAvation that the plane experienced a bird strike and sent them pictures of the plane's engine and a video of the landing.
The maintenance shift team is about to get FIRED
Firing them does not help - you need to understand WHY they did not secure the cowlings before take off so it doesn't happen again
Could be a latch failure....derply.
Was William Shatner on this plane at all ? 😂
You had to go to the "Way Back Machine" to grab that reference. Nice. 👍👍
😆😂😆
No, but Calhoun was seen on the wing at 20,000 feet messing with the cowling
How many understand that great reference. 😂
@@disturbed4733 Yeha lol - showing my age :)
Southwest maintenance failed
They are just trying a new air cooled engine called MCOOL. They'll fix it with a software fix from India,,no doubt😅
@@cjswa6473 they should learn to spell: McCool...
And you know this, how? Were you there?
@@Paul_C just thought MCOOL looked better,, like MCAS
Another fine Raytheon product?
The increasing number of mechanical issues with American passenger aircraft point to maintenance issues possibly through financial cuts or pressure of work
Diversity, Inclusion, Equity.
It just seems odd that these incidents are becoming more common place nowadays.
It's odd that more people have phones with cameras that can record these incidents and upload them to the internet or read about it any time of the day on the web instead of watching about it on the evening news in the TV like it used to be, or sometimes not even making a blip in the TV news because they didn't have time to cover all events in their allotted time.
There’s way more jetliners today than the 70’s and 80’s, so incidences have risen accordingly.
On a positive note, there are way less fatal crashes today than during the periods cited.
Also, the reporting of incidents is more consistent, courtesy of the plethora of cell phones every effin‘ where
@@lrg3834 The OP probably meant "in the last 3-4 years" as opposed to the 70s. From watching the news, it certainly seems like there's a sudden uptick in issues, but I figure it's more a case of everyone taking notice after the public's shock following the investigations into Boeing's corporate behavior.
There are more YT channels now covering things like this than there were 5 years ago and more "normies" who aren't really that into aviation are watching. The news media are also covering it more too because they know people will click. Not that long ago, you just didn't hear about minor incidents like this. Also, The Baader-Meinhof phenomenon.
Look at shipping and bridge channels right now, they're full of people who don't know anything about bridges or shipping, who never paid attention to that stuff until the Baltimore incident.
Well done SWA crew. ATC also handled this situation quite well. As a retired SWA guy - I’m damn proud
of the crew operating this flight.
I agree as a retired SWA Captain.
@@SI-lg2vp Looks like a preflight fail....
@@SI-lg2vp was there any danger in this incident?
@@SI-lg2vp how serious might this have been?
Flapping wings give more lift. Very clever! Some airlines will try any spontaneous innovation just to save a little fuel. Boeing too is good at spontaneous innovations...
I'm taking the greyhound
They should have used brand name Red Green approved duct tape for those cowlings. Not that cheap Chinese stuff.
Just about lost my breakfast watching the calhoun video now Maximus is back with more Boingtanic news.
This has nothing to do with Boeing though. This was either bad mx or, from what I understand, the aircraft hit something before landing.
Damn wing gremlins.
At least it wasn't a MAX. The media would REALLY had a field day with that.
Yes. If that aircraft looks at you wrong, the media will have field day with it!
@@KingTriton1837a bad track record normally creates perjury ,unfortunately humans are built with faults . Just like the Franken-maxes “ that rolled off the line 52 units a month 😂
But it was a Boeing
@@danieldarcy7862a 17 year old Boeing
@@abefrancis4137 it's damm old plane
Good job Maximus! Heard the cowls took out the inboard flaps?
I had a riding mower that I took the hood off. Much better cooling without it
What the hell is wrong with maintenance of airplanes in America these days?
Probably not qualified personel.
Shareholder value..
Engine wasn’t FODDED out so let’s keep going !! Just a little lighter so we can save some fuel .
LOL
Whoever did the preflight forgot to ensure the engine cowels were locked closed🤔🤷😤That is a confidence builder!!
Is it just me or do I really hear the passengers laughing?
You be trippin yo.
Ummm no the pieces flew off during the landing roll, as you can clearly see. Also the pilots reported the aircraft hit something after takeoff, and that's what damaged the cowling.
Correct, this video is the landing roll out. The slats are not deployed for the landing, and the pilot communicated that it was going to be “a no flap landing.” If he’s taking off without slats/flaps, this would be a much different video.
Here we go again😮
Yikes!
Impressive!
I really doubt if the latches failed in the locked position, If the latches were left open they would be visible by hanging down and could of been spotted on a walk around. Since the cowling flew off it has one of two reasons , first complete failure of all latches which I doubt or they were not latched after maintenance was finished and finally no one spotted them open on the walk around by either the ground crew or the flight crew. MY OPINION
Southwest has great CRM.
OHHHHHH..someone is looking for a new job
Southwest is responsible not Boeing
I would be willing to bet that during maintenance someone didn't secure some or all the fasteners on the outboard cowl.
too late
Listening to some audio/video of this earlier today, I thought the comms between ATC and the flight crew were some of the best I have heard in the USA. The pilot was planning to exist the runway to assist the airport keeping it open. I haven’t seen much past this landing sequence, but I suspect with all those bits flying off, they would have had to close the runway anyway!
To those saying this was a birdstrike... No. The cowls were not fully latched. A birb smacking the lower inlet cowl isn't going to blow the doors off like that.
My thought ms exactly. Bird would get sucked into the engine, cause a hell of a mess and need to be shut down.
Cool, clear R/T by ATC and the Pilot Monitoring.
Someone skipped the engines on their walk around!
They need to have an indication system for latched cowls, something like the B747 cargo doors.
SWA shall teach the ground staff longer than 5 Minutes.
One of the rare opportunities Boeing is not responsible
I guess SWA doesn't want to keep that no fatal accidents record
That left some big old lumps of FOD on that runway ...
And the local weather forecast for today, moderate winds, light rain, and possible aluminum showers this afternoon. Folks, be sure to carry your kevlar umbrellas.....
Some mechanic didn’t latch the fan cowl completely. Very expensive mistake. Not a part they just have in stock at every station.
Moved out of Seattle … complaints are not welcome, whistle blowers become lumps under the carpet. What the heck
Glad I like to drive.
This is a southwest problem. The mechanics messed up and the pilot should’ve caught it on their walk around.
Bird strike. There, corrected it for you.
No door and wheel this time ?
Who was the last person to open the engine cowling and was it recorded ? or perhaps they adopted Boeings work practice of not recording maintenance !
Looks to me it tore off during landing. When the aircraft is slowing it's landing.
Easy to see if cowl latches are closed by looking under fuselage to opposite side engine during walk around. Aviation industry needs a 3 day safety stand down.
Is this the new Boeing in flight entertainment that can be expected after that door plug incident? I am not looking to put fear into people. This is not normal.
Terrifying? That's why people were chatting about it in a conversational voice then. Please get a grip. At low speed it's basically trim falling off. This is usually an Airbus trick, hadn't heard of it happening on a 737 before. At least the engines didn't catch fire, like one British Airways A319 in 2015 which lost them on both sides.
Is that a 737 Neo the one with the air cooled engine option?!
To be serious someone is in a big pile of steaming hot guano for this.
Bird issue.
Someone did not latch the fan cowls properly.
Oh wow...*facepalms*
Pretty sure pilots do a detailed walk around to make sure all catches are closed. This looks like both sides and not just one fixing failure? Are we straight to blaming the mechanics?
The response to this incident is extreme and misdirected. Such an incidents are not uncommon and are almost always the fault of airline maintenance, not the airplane manufacturer.
Cowling ripped off during landing as seen in video. Came loose during takeoff.
After the chips shortage, we have now a bolt shortage ;-))
Oops, forgot to close it properly. Slack maintenance
Southwest 1380 repeat?
Friends don't let friends fly Boeing. At least the door plug stayed put this time.
Has nothing to do with Boeing. Just gets extra press because of the things that have happened recently that are
How do you keep your plugs in?
FOD on the field?
Oops 😮
What? They were using super glue to fix the engine cover? OMG 😂😅😂
DEI Wins Again !!
The flight crew shows us how to buckle our seat belts right?......I am not flying commercial I'll take my chances on the interstate!
Management by sight unseen … it’s Boeing’s policy … and it’s management malfeasance
Well you can’t fix that with 100 mile hr tape!
Apollo tape fixes everything.
If I were in the seat where the video was taken I'd move seats if I could. If I wouldn't I'd cinch my belt very tight. That loose cowl could break away and break the window easily.
Nope.
So GM and boing are the same company apparently 😂
I've never heard of boing. New company?
@@sirmingusdewiv8325 Somehow this is Boeing's fault
Is it because employees are pushed to provide more productivity that people are rushing mistakes are being made my job which I am now retired from involved the safety of the people and my work colleagues but after a couple of deaths involving both a few years ago things started to improve maybe it was down to the higher management end up in courts have to explain what happened but a couple of years before I left things were going down hill again we were being pushed to do more work also the way the job was being managed was ridiculous for such an simple job to organise the management turned it into rocket science one day they may listen to the people have been doing jobs for years that were shown how to do it by experience people
SELL THE SHORT ON LUV TOMORROW
Let’s look at the big picture How many Boeing customers are waiting not months but years already for deliveries How old are these planes that are losing parts on takeoff. If United is already short on planes What happens when these aging aircraft have to out for life extension maintenance What happens to Southwest? The Max 7 isn’t even certified Should you ask; If it’s Boeing is it too old to keep going
Missed inspection. Should of been noticed on walk around.
You have no clue until the facts are known. Stop making things up.
As aircraft Mechanic for 38 years . Stay in your lane.
@@jamesmason363 You are yet another YT Comments poser. Stay in your own lane. (Pumping out bilge.) Maybe the latch failed. You have no idea. You should have caught that during your overnight inspections. We thought you worked exclusively on the Lav flush mechanisms.
No clue RLT . Arm chair Clown
@@jamesmason363 Kind of a pathetic response. You have no clue. A poser expert name caller....screams guilty...a whopper telling tool. How do those flush mechanisms work anyway?
If its Boeng I aint going.
This has nothing to do with Boeing since they didn't build the engine or maintain it. Like blaming Toyota if a Firestone tire blows out.
Good. Flights are selling out too quickly
Now, Southwest is on my sh*t list along with Boeing.
Why boeing
We hear that you have added yourself to your own shit list. That fits.
🤦🏼♂️
Oops
This is what happens when you use cheap duct tape.... Pilot, me thinks you stuffed the walka-round.
Speed tape
@@skinnerhound2660 correct, they used cheap Duct tape not Speed tape.
Everyone stop flying a month and this shit will stop.
Boeing execs to passengers, "No need to stress, go back to your snacks and drinks, half a century ago our B-17s flew just fine with even more parts missing. And they didn't even get snacks and drinks."
Nothing to do with Boeing
No Boeings
You talk like cave man.
The Frankenstein monster strikes again. Why would someone ride that monster is beyond me. Boeing is extremely hazardous to human's health, full stop.
Southwest Airlines mx failed again.
Someone lost his job.
Bird strike.
@@maxsmith695doubt it
Boeing is dropping the E from their name. From now on they will be Boing for the noise a part makes when it falls off.
This is not boeings fault
@@nickolliver3021 I know, its probably the last guy to sign off on work on that engine and didn't latch down the engine cowling.
@@arnoldfrackenmeyer8157 Which was on Maintenance not the guy from Boeing!
Shedding weight
I wonder if we could perhaps just start doing a little better for our employees so they take pride in their work or figure it out really quickly before the whole shit show gets fired and replaced by kids with real GEDs.
What a ripoff
Airbus wins again
"Terrifying" is a bit too much over hype.
Rubbish plane , rubbish airline 😮
We don't use the term rubbish here in the states....except when describing Land Rovers.
We as passengers have to stop flying Boeing , full stop! Plenty of airlines have Airbus.....The FAA are not fit for purpose therefore we the people have to put a stop to this by bringing Boeing to their knees.
Unfortunately people like Maximus only report Boeing incidents. Airbus also suffer many similar incidents like engine failures, hydraulic failures, door failures, maintenance failures, wing cracks etc. I suggest you don't fly at all. Aircraft are very complex machines and all have their issues
@@grantrobertson4267 Thank you for the patronising condescending comment. Always good to have it spelled out by a world travel expert to someone who has never left their hometown . Clearly there are no issues with Boeing. My mistake.
@@subculture2006 Not enough to stop flying Boeing.
@@subculture2006this particular issue had nothing to do with Boeing.
But there are plenty recently that have been.
@@abefrancis4137 Unlucky for Boeing then because their name deservedly isn't the best right now. Once a great US company now in real trouble.
At least it wasn't the FrankenMax. 😸
The same thing happened to a Delta A330 neo last week,. pity he doesn't report that....
Actually, I preferred to fly the Max over the NG. Once we knew about the MCAS system and what it was and how it could fail I was fine to operate it.
I read about the Delta A330neo flying out of Salt lake City. Funny enough, a journalist scheduled a flight on that aircraft because she didn't want to fly on a Boeing aircraft. 😂😂
@@pilotrobroyWhen you operate the Max, do you have to switch the anti-icing system on and off every few minutes as I've seen reported?
As a passenger, I've flown on the Max with at least 4 different airlines around the world, and I've enjoyed it. Unfortunately, most of the negative publicity are from people who've probably never flown on the aircraft at all.
@@sainnt Comedy Gold .😅 Interesting tidbit .
They told the passengers, 'Bird Strike'? Hmm... [skeptical] In any case, Boeing does not make birdies--and can't be blamed for any bird-strikes.
However, they are responsible for the design of engine-cowlings and related fittings.
See the NTSB report on Southwest Airlines flight 1380 (cowling-latch window-loss passenger-fatality event during a fan-blade-out contained engine failure).
But this is a maintenance issue not a Boeing issue where they were at fault for an engine cowl of an old 737
This is on the pilot because the pilot is responsible for ensuring that latches are shut during walkaround
The Pilot is not the ONLY person that inspects the aircraft before each flight.
@@Blank00yes, the pilot should have noted and corrected the issue, and turn in the preflight inspection report so the inept maintenance person responsible for it could get his butt fired.
Or hers
"Dammit Verne, I told you we shouldn't have cut corners on maintenance "
Ole Her Keleher must be rolling in his grave over this.
Not terrifying. It happens.
Maximus will find a way to blame Boeing for this!
I think I saw Calhoun out on the wing messing with the cowling while at 20,000 feet.
