Airlines now maintain airplanes like I maintain my waist line.
I feeel
Its Boeing...have you heard about an Airbus plane having issues?
@@darkwillis416everything is about Boeing nowadays, I don’t hear much about airbus
@@Finnaviation_ everything that goes wrong is about Boeing, theres not much to report aboutvAirbus when nothing goes wrong. Airbus has a larger share in commercial plane sales than Boeing and a fraction of the issues.
Boeing**
Completely safe; except for the wheels, doors, and panels. Completely safe...
And the whistleblower “killed himself”.
Safe and effective
Did anybody die on those flights?
You don't know what damage the cover coming off did to the wing. Or perhaps the same aircraft maintenance person worked on something else incorrectly.
And expect for the stuff that flies of hitting an important component of the plane, which could have lead to damage and to a disaster, if the plane had been on the way.
It’s impressive how these pilots handle a situation so calmly. ✈️
Training.
Not a diversity hire.
Sounded like the air traffic controller speaking. The pilots gotta be ice cool.
With all the idiots working on aircraft, a pilot should get hazard pay. I've worked in the industry and I haven't flown in 20 years.
@@user-fs8ec9vu1d Idiots are not isolated into one industry. There are idiot pilots, mechanics, taco bell workers, etc, etc. Considering that almost 90% of aviation mishaps are pilot related, I don't think that this holds true.
Emergency landing in Denver, but we paid this correspondent to stand in NYC to report the story.
you did?
Hmmm hahahaha
Well at least they didn’t make some poor shomow race out to DIA from the CBS affiliate and stand next to the airport for a one minute forty second report.
no, its called a screen playing whatever they want behind them in the 20th floor
This happens a lot in news stories, especially if they don’t have any one in the area. Sometimes they will even use a sister stations personal to report on the story for them.
its called an engine cowling
😒 @katana.... still, nothing should be falling off these planes.
It's called another FAILURE
Breaking news : cows falling off airplanes....
Another pylot or mekanic in denial that y'all put money over safety
"It's called an engine cowling"... whippity-fricking-do, you want a cookie, einstein
It is kind of weird they say "important to note" CFM built the engine, when the fault will most likely be the 1st Officer not catching it in his or her preflight walk-around or a maintenance person who may have not properly closed the engine panels. CFM built an engine that could keep going despite the inadequacy of people operating them. This enabled the plane to bring those people to safety and thats pretty awesome in my book
Sure must suck to be the guy who had the big hunk of metal randomly falling on his stuff without warning. What about that guy whose car got pancaked by the airplane wheel that came flying off right after takeoff?
where did the engine cover land though, lucky nobody on the ground was killed.
My respect for Ryan air for sowing 48 hour maintenance after delivery 📈📈📈📈
The reason for inspecting a brand new Airplane is always for the maintenance crew to get familiar with new plane, logistic and maintenance procedures,
@@johnbarrels2813 Ryan air has many 737 you think their maintenance crew will need to be familiar?
@@johnbarrels2813😂
Where are all these airplanes sent for maintenance??
@@jojothetasmaniansassmonkey8866again … Capitalism, it’s what’s killing you.
@@jojothetasmaniansassmonkey8866 You speak so wrongly with such authority it's amazing lmao. Literally, I'm sure SWA had a regular oil check/change. Something done on a daily basis. The cowling probably wasn't latched properly by a technician while it was on the ground in DEN. Pilot's didn't catch it either. Sht Happens.
@@jojothetasmaniansassmonkey8866lol it’s mostly done in the US and Mexico.
walmart
@@skinnybricks I probably should have included the word "some". But other than that what did I say that was wrong? of course they obviously get routine maintenance at hubs, but a lot of major airlines do our source some of their major repairs to places like El Salvador, Mexico, and china. A lot of major repairs are also done in the US (where, ideally, they should all be done).
It’s not just Boeing but the airlines as well. They’re not properly inspecting these planes.
Major maintenance work on most of these planes are done in Mexico, China and El Salvador. A majority of these airline mechanics overseas are not F.A.A certified. They are also outsourcing most of the maintenance work to private contractors in the U.S as well which many are unlicensed . Not to mention the shortage of mechanics in the U.S.
Proper maintenance is very important. The manufacturer is irrelevant in this case since it's an older plane. This is just people not following proper maintenance procedure.
While it’s true, it’s most likely that Boeing made poor quality airplanes and therefore it’s less reliable
Another Boeing executive lol
Everything is fine
Did you buy Boeing stock? lol Since the investigation is not finished we have no idea if that is a Boeing issue or a maintenace issue. Boeing provides maintainance plans. If the airline followed those plans then it is a Boeing issue.
@@phantagirlable are we forgetting the whistle Lowe that recently died? He complained often about manufacturing problems and issues with corporate ever since the takeover.
Well at least you don't have to pay for checked bags on Southwest
EVERYONE, I love Southwest Airlines but this is unfortunately their fault. IT IS NOT BOEING’S. This may have been due to maintenance, or a maintenance worker may have not secured a latch properly. Hopefully the aviation industry can get back to normal.
Outsourcing too
ditto ^ What he said above. poor parts.
btw there are more than one latch on those engine cowls. might be as many as 4 or 8 latches. 😮
@@Iceland874How do you know the parts are from China?
The engine part (cover) was made by Boeing
I blame COVID layoffs. A lot of maintenance employees were laid off in 2020 when airline demand fell, primarily the older tenured employees at supervisor/manager and higher levels. They have been replaced with less experienced employees and are overseeing a wave of green employees. It’s a recipe for disaster.
This is most likely NOT Boeing’s fault. People should not point fingers at Boeing as mentioned in the video, they did not even manufacture the engine. This is a maintenance issue as stated in the video.
This is not Boeing's fault. Not even slightly. Blaming Boeing on this would be akin to blaming Ford when your 20 year old Fiesta's hood flies up on the highway because you didn't secure it after putting some oil in the engine.
True ... sort of. Guess who's responsible for "Auditing" Airline "Service Centers" ??? Yep, that would be the Prime Contractor (Boeing in this instance). "RCCA" stuff ...
lol If this is a quality issue with the engine then it is Boeing's fault since they assemble all the parts and are responsible for quality and safety checks and double and triple checks. And the video doesn't state that it is a maintainance issue.
It's okay, it's actually better for the engine because it gets more air that way and cools down more!
MAINTENANCE!!!! This is nothing to do with Boeing but all to do with Maintenance.
Allegedly
You must be one of the executives lol
True ... sort of. Guess who's responsible for "Auditing" Airline "Service Centers" ??? Yep, that would be the Prime Contractor (Boeing in this instance). "RCCA" stuff ...
Treat these airplane "maintenance issues" like you would the canary in the coal mine. These incidents are a very visible indications of real problems in the construction and maintenance of commercial airplanes. Taking the word of manufacturers, operators, and contractors when they "self report" is a flawed concept.....they will always value next quarters stock prices over everything else.
Not in this case, this is not a Boing problem.
Bingo
This incident likely isn’t one of those “canary in the coal mine” issues. I suspect someone was inspecting the engine between flights and simply forgot to fasten the panel back prior to flight. Losing a panel is definitely not ideal, but not necessarily indication of a significant issue above a memory lapse that I would worry about.
@@ceasetheday87 there is a reason for everything that goes wrong. When more things start going wrong, it’s 100% cultural. This is where the American workforce finally is after decades of warnings.
This was an avoidable maintenance error, plain and simple!
But aren’t all maintenance errors avoidable? Is your point that this one specific maintenance error should have been avoided?
@@ceasetheday87
No, one's point is to avoid answering damn stupid questions!
come on man this is NOT a Boeing problem they don't even own the engines or make them, get your facts right before you blame, I'm not saying it is but it's most likely a southwest maintenance problem.
Let’s go back to the older planes like 5 years ago
Remember the days when airlines never ever ever had any maintenance problems and the media had nothing to report.
And the Maytag Man was extremely lonely......
Don’t worry folks, airlines are prioritizing DEI. That should solve the problems.
Someone on the ground maintenance crew got his/her/they/them/theirs two checks today. Possibly even the copilot if he did the walk around before takeoff.
Looks like the cowling was not closed / locked properly. Obviously a southwest problem, not boeing.
This event is called PDA part departing aircraft.
This dei thing is working out splendidly.
It worked for you hockey players
This is what D.E.I. gets you .. incompetent people doing important work and screwing it up.
It is a sickening thought that maintenance not being done correctly and efficiently can lead to loss of life....being human = being erroneous
Its a maintained issue. Blaming all on boeing is not right
People need to know the difference between manufacturing, assembly and maintenance 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️.
Wow Boeing is really just falling apart literally piece by piece.
In other news, airlines have changed their boarding policies. Now people are allowed, even encouraged, to carry aboard drills, screwdrivers, wrenches, nuts & bolts, etc. to do emergency repairs and tightening up and repair of equipment, doors, wheels, and panels.
Fret when you hear a pilot say, "I trust these mechanics," because it means that the pilot does not feel the need to preflight very well. That was a preflight issue that would have caught something LEFT OPEN.
It was so windy in Denver yesterday and today that I’m not surprised.
Cows flying off engines.... 😮
I literally just flew Southwest 3 days ago. Omggggg Airlines really need to get their act together
Engine was made by cfm, not Boeing, thank you Ms obvious.
UAL: "Not my problem this time."
This same thing happened in Salt Lake a few weeks ago too
Maintenance issues by airlines !
Thank God.
Don’t dig into this one, it makes people use their off switch..
"Our aviation system in the US is very safe"
Workers at a Boeing factory: I'll never fly on one unless I have a death wish
Southwest Airlines is starting to feel like SPIRIT airlines these days ….
Besides this incident...what brings you to that conclusion?
Theyre already worse
Besides this? Are you serious?
I know right!!??
We might lose a door or a wheel mid flight, but we are very safe🤔
This is what contract maintenance looks like...
It looks like diversity equity, and inclusion
@@midwestguy8771 BAHAHAHA! And who says MAGA has no sense of humor, or brains for that matter but I digress lol.
South West Airlines make Spirit look good 😂
yeah the aviation industry is APPARENTLY NOT SAFE
We can take a chance on a car to fix something minor whenever it breaks because we can live with it but not on a plane since you can’t simply turn on your hazard lights and pull over while flying. This is dangerous!
If this is an Airbus, I guess most of its kind will be grounded from flying.
Not related except all were Boeing aircraft! 🤷🏻♂️ the engine cover could likely be a maintenance crew error which has nothing to do with who built the aircraft.
Although Boeing’s reputation has taken a tremendous dip lately and brought a lot of public scrutiny, this particular engine panel issue should not be attributed to Boeing as the manufacturer. I suspect someone was inspecting the engine between flights and simply forgot to fasten the panel back prior to flight. Losing a panel and grounding a flight is definitely not ideal, but likely was not caused by any significant issue above a brief memory lapse.
So you just declare it isn't Boeing's fault but then base that on total speculation.
@@phantagirlable All the public can do at this point is speculate. As a former aviation mechanic, I do feel safe to say inspecting the engine is why the panel was loose. Didn’t feel it was necessary to detail I was previously an aviation mechanic as detailing an engine inspection between flights was enough for my statement to sound credible.
Why all of a sudden, failures all fallen on boeing?
@@gingerchili6567 Because they killed 300+ people in the span of a couple of months and the blown out door was their fault as well. And maaaaybe also because they are now accused and in court to defend themselves from the accusation that they didn't follow the orders of improving safety (was part of the conditions so they could buy themselves out of criminal charges for killing 300+ people) and instead made things worse, improved nothing and actively tried to lower safety standards. A couple of people are also kind of upset because the whistleblower who was going to testify against Boeing was killed.. sorry, conveniently "committed s icide" after his first day of testifiying.
Making a statement of fact and then using pure speculation as evidence for your statment of fact will automatically rid your comment of credibility.
Can't blame Boeing for shoddy maintenance by Southwest.
Oh but you can bet people will!
Come on it’s not a Boeing issue it’s a southwest maintenance issue….
of course it's boeings fault
maintaing BOEINGS
@@mattbuffo9967 How? If you don't close your car door or fully close the hood so it latches closed, is that the automakers fault? Those covers open to allow mechanics to do maintenance on the engine. Someone did secure all the fasteners.
I guess Boeing doesn't have any QC after the plane being sold, huh?
@@xtradi You know that Boeing is the manufacturer, not the maintainer? Top 5 global maintenance companies, there are a lot more. 1. Lufthansa Technik 2. Pratt & Whitney 3. StandardAero 4. Aar
5. SR Technics Group........
FAA REALLY NEEDS TO DO THEIR JOB AND INVESTIGATE THESE ISSUES ITS A MATTER OF TIME WHEN A PLANE WONT BE ABLE TO MAKE A SAFE LANDING , DUE TO MECHANICAL FAILURE. THEY NEED TO BE REALLY STRICT ON MAINTENANCE, ITS HUMAN LIFE THEY ARE DEALING WITH
Chill
The engine cowlings are aerodynamic aids. No plane has ever crashed because the engine cowlings came off. It's scary to see, but poses no real safety risk to those on board.
The only real danger is for people on the ground with the falling cowlings.
Pray before you aboard a boeing plane.
It's a maintenance issue and not related to the aircraft manufacturer or even probably the engine manufacturer.
Did she say that this is rare? Didn’t this very thing happen to Alaska 558 in mid 2022?
You know that guy keeps saying flying is still safe, and yet the incidents continue mounting. 😬
There has been no fatal plane incident in the USA since 2018, but no major one since 2009. The one in 2018 caused one death, and was suspiciously similar to the incident today.
For everyone wondering, this is completely and ground person\mechanic fault, if you see on the image, there are 3 hinges and they are in tact, somebody just forgot to close them, its opened by a flat head screwdriver thats used for leverage to open the hinges. that's all, not Boeing's fault( not that im defending their other actions, I hate them)
They claim thier hasn't been a disaster since 2009 ? Wow wat about dream maxx
What’s a dream maxx?
None of these have anything to do with Boing. This is a Maintenance issue, the mechanic forgot to latch the cowling after it was closed, probably got distracted from the task for some reason. Also the flight crew failed to notice the latch was not secure before flight. This happens almost every year and of course it’s not good! But understandable given the human ability to be distracted.
Just because it's a Boeing aircraft doesn't necessarily mean that the failure was Boeing's fault. It reminds me of the story of the Delta 757 that lost a tire about a month ago. The 757 hasn't been produced since 2004, and there haven't been any other reported issues with any other 757 lately. Thus, it was a maintenance issue.
My guess is that the SWA technician was either insufficiently trained or was distracted, and forgot to secure the cowling.
These incidents aren't rare anymore. They're happening every few days. That's common.
Not a Boeing issue, it’s a southwest maintenance issue and they handle over 1 million flights a year.
How is it not a Boeing issue when pieces of the plane they assambled fly off? The investigation has not been concluded and you already absolve Boeing? Did you buy Boeing stock?
@@phantagirlable because Boeing doesn’t manufacturing engines. I don’t get people like you. Think you know so much but in fact know very little.
"It's very safe" until another disaster and then it will be like something should have been done about it a long time ago.
I found a Boeing 737 hub cap in my back yard the other day.
They do not have hubcaps.
I've got a beauty ring , for a. 777
This is getting too eerily similar to May 25, 1979 in Chicago. How many more times are we going to see parts of an airplane fall off. We've been fortunate that the most recent incidents, ended without fatalities. If this keeps up, there will soon be a disaster that equals flight 191. Boeing and these maintenance departments had better wake up and do the right thing. 😮
Oh my word!!!!!!!!!
The ENGINE is made by CFM, but the Engine Cowling IS NOT.
This is a southwest maintenance issue! All these events accept the door blow out are all airline maintenance issues I don’t know why the media has it out for Boeing.
Someone skipped a part of their pre-flight walk-a-round!
There's alot of that going around nowadays. Starting to feel like it's intentional.
All these planes have something in common their all Boeing?
What a weird way to report this, the engine is made by CFM but the engine cover is made by Boeing.
Incidents like this are rare she says. Unfortunately hundreds die in rare Incidents.
Planes, people, America, all falling apart! Why am I not surprised???
At this point, why don't all jumbo jets have cameras giving the cockpit full visibility if the plane's exterior? The crew basically has to wait for a passenger to see the engine cover flying off before they are aware of it. It would be a simple exercise to have AI alert the crew to any changes to the structure. The average citizen can get better awareness with a cheap Ring Cam.
What is it with planes this year?
Microfractures... it was a concern 20 years ago before whistleblower laws were in place.. Now they don't test that anymore
@CBS evening news - it was the pilot, not ATC that declared the emergency.
What on earth is going on with all these airline mishaps???? WHO IS CHECKING THE SAFETY MAINTENANCE??? Seems they have been going unchecked and putting so many lives at risk. SHAME ON THE MANUFACTURERS AND THOSE RESPONSIBLE FOR SAFETY CHECKS!!!
😮
It could be that there is no qualified maintenance carried out prior to departure.
This a Southwest maintenance issue at that Airport alone. Nothing to do with Boeing. Or Southwest in general.
I’m not an expert but I feel like an engine cover/ cowling is kinda important.
I guess the engine blew southwests cover of malpractices 😅
When you pinch pennies hiring "how hard can it be" contractors to fix your house, except your house is a commercial airliner.
The Engine wasn't made by Boeing? So? The Engine Cover IS! The Engine didn't fall off. The cover did.
Unless there was excessive vibration by the engine, or something similar, the engine has nothing to do with it!
This incident is not on Boeing, not on CFMI, not on UTC or whoever else made the cowling. Not a design or manufacturing issue at all. A 9 year old SWA 737 will have performed several THOUSAND takeoffs and landings by now, requiring multiple visits for maintenance, for which there will be records. And just spitballing here, but it's remotely possible the plane hit something on takeoff or shortly after. Doubtful that there is a modern-age bird big or hard enough to cause that sort of damage, but something on the runway (or maybe a drone?) might. The Feds will get to the bottom of this one, tout de suite.
Great report Shanelle!! A Boeing 747 engine cover fell off of a Southwest flight from Denver and
and no one was injured. Boeing has compensated Alaska Airlines $16 million due to Boeing planes malfunctions, incidents.
The U.S. hasn’t had a major disaster since 2009.
That’s it. No more flights for me.
whoa , that is NOT good😳
Regular maintenance by Southwest is lacking ?
Boeings on call hitmen:
👁👄👁
If it’s Boeing….we’re not going ✊🏼✊🏼✊🏼
What's going on with airline maintenance ??
cutting corners for greater profit. what else is new??
Obviously, 😮nothing.
The engine is from CFM, but Boeing makes the cowling.
all these safety experts keep the same speal, flying is the safest way to travel. when the public see a spike in parts falling off a plane that doesn't instill our trust on the airline industry how they define safe.
Add this to the pile of arguments and evidence to re regulate the airline industry.
