“What’s needed is a fundamental cultural shift at Boeing that’s oriented around safety and quality above profits. That will require sustained effort and commitment from Boeing, and unwavering scrutiny on our part,”  Whitaker wrote. 

Investigators discovered that 4 key bolts had been lacking from the door plug to the Boeing 737 Max 9 plane when it took off from Portland, Oregon, on Jan. 5, 2024.
