It puzzles me how 737 Max9 door plug lasted until Jan 5 without bolts.🤯 That door was at risk of blowing out since 1st flight Oct 15, delivery Oct 31, entry into service Nov 11. ref @aircurrent / @jonostrower article: https://theaircurrent.com/aviation-safety/127-days-the-anatomy-of-a-boeing-quality-failure/ #AS1282 #aviation #travel #avgeek

At the online Aerospace Chat a week ago, Nick @JetTip specifically asked why they weren't doing inspections of the 737-900ER door plugs, which are identical to those on the 737 Max 9. He was apparently a step ahead of them. It's good to see they eventually caught up. #aviation #travel #avgeek

My concerns were valid about #AS1282 debris falling on Portland metro area. Based on this article in The @Oregonian, I plotted the general area on a map where the door plug was found in residential backyard. Cell phones fell nearby. https://www.oregonlive.com/portland/2024/01/door-that-fell-from-alaska-airlines-flight-found-in-a-backyard-officials-say.html #aviation #travel #avgeek
OpenStreetMap plot of the area described by NTSB where Alaska 1282 debris was found "near Southwest Barnes Road and Oregon 217". The point shows Barnes & 217 but it was apparently found in a nearby residential area. NTSB and news media are not naming the person who found it except as "Bob" to protect his privacy.

I was in Portland at the time of #AS1282. Miles away, I was unaware until later. A concern looking at the flight track is debris could have fallen on western side of Portland metro area. If not yet found, daylight may yield clues. https://www.flightaware.com/live/flight/ASA1282 #aviation #travel #avgeek
