Investigators: Boeing Overwrote Security Footage Related to Jet Door That Blew Out

Gizmodo

Boeing has been the subject of a federal investigation ever since January, when an Alaska Airlines flight involving one of its planes had its door blown out. Since then, concerns about the safety of Boeing’s production process have swirled and investigators have sought to determine just how such a thing happened.

The pilot seat could have caused a Boeing 787 to suddenly drop midair. It wouldn't be the first time a similarly bizarre event happened to a widebody aircraft.
