In February last year, a new Southwest Airlines Boeing 737 Max plane was on one of its first flights when an automated stabilizing system appeared to malfunction, forcing the pilots to make an emergency landing soon after they took off. Less than two months later, an Alaska Airlines 737 Max plane with eight hours of total flight time was briefly grounded until mechanics resolved a problem with a fire detection system. And in November, an engine on a just-delivered United Airlines 737 Max failed at 37,000 feet. These incidents, which the airlines disclosed to the Federal Aviation Administration, were not widely reported. But since Jan. 5, when a panel on a two-month-old Alaska Airlines 737 Max 9 jet blew off in midair, episodes like these have taken on new resonance, raising further questions about the quality of the planes Boeing is producing.

Because for the 171 passengers, four flight attendants and two pilots on board Alaska Airlines flight 1282 who experienced all of that on January 5, it could have been so much worse. Passenger oxygen masks hang from the roof next to a missing door plug of an Alaska Airlines flight on January 5. Here’s the ways in which Alaska Air — and Boeing — got lucky to have the plane finally develop problems when and how it did on January 5. Both would not have been the case had the door plug come out at the cruising altitude above 30,000 feet. Damage to the planeThe real nightmare scenario for experts is what happened to the door plug once it blew away.

Read previewOn January 5, an Alaska Airlines 737 Max 9 door plug broke off shortly after takeoff from Portland International Airport, leaving a gaping hole in the jet's fuselage. The Federal Aviation Administration quickly grounded 171 other Max 9 planes with the same door plug, mostly flown by United Airlines and Alaska. Four critical bolts used to secure the door plug were missing from the jet when it left Boeing's assembly line, The Wall Street Journal reported, representing a massive quality control lapse.
