Boeing 737 Max 9 – loose bolts found on planes after near disaster | BBC News
United Airlines has discovered loose bolts on plane door covers of several of its Boeing 737 Max 9 aircraft.
Checks were ordered after a near mid-air disaster when part of a passenger door blew out of an Alaska Airlines Boeing 737. The flight from Portland, Oregon to Ontario, California, was carrying 177 passengers and crew. It had reached 16,000ft when door cover fell away causing depressurisation of the cabin. The aircraft made an emergency descent and landed safely.
The US authorities grounded all Boeing 737 Max 9 planes following the emergency and the plane maker advised airlines to check for loose bolts.
United Airlines has now discovered loose bolts on at least five of its aircraft. Other airlines are carrying out their own inspections..

A diplomat’s job is traditionally to represent their country’s interests while maintaining good relations with their host nation. But some of Donald Trump’s ambassadors are taking a different approach.
On Tuesday, Kimberly Guilfoyle resigned from her ambassadorship in Greece after serious allegations were raised about her conduct. According to reporting by the Wall Street Journal, the former fiancée of Donald Trump Jr. allegedly asked a Trump donor to pay off her $100,000 Amex bill — allegations she denies.
Guilfoyle is not the only ambassador to have caused a stir. US envoys around the world have sparked diplomatic rows, controversy and, in some cases, appeared to step beyond the traditional boundaries of their role.
What do Donald Trump’s ambassador picks, and their conduct, tell us about the new way that America does diplomacy?
Reuters’ senior White House correspondent, Humeyra Pamuk, breaks down how Trump’s ambassadors are breaking with tradition.

Katie Zacharia is “transitioning out” of her role as White House press secretary, the White House has confirmed to the BBC.
They did not provide a timeline for when she would be leaving the position.
US President Donald Trump earlier said he told Zacharia to “reconsider” her role.
He said he told her, “You don’t have to do this”, after her debut in the briefing room earlier this week.
Zacharia has been treated “very, very badly” by the media in recent days, Trump told reporters outside the White House.

Four members of the Canadian military have died and dozens were injured in a major fire at a base in the province of Alberta on Saturday.
Addressing the nation on Sunday from Ottawa, Prime Minister Mark Carney described it as “one of the worst tragedies for the forces on Canadian soil in peacetime”.
The fire broke out at about 16:00 local time (22:00 GMT) on Saturday at Canadian Forces Base Wainwright, one of the country’s busiest military training bases, and is now contained. Its cause is still unclear, but officials said it did not appear tied to “terrorist activity”.

Loose bolts do not necessarily constitute a danger. Certainly, bolts in tension must be tightened to an appropriate level of torque, and the tension involved may be sufficient to keep the structure secure for its design life. Bolts in shear may not even need to be tightened at all, but, rather, kept in place by a transverse cotter pin or safety wire, or, more often, a castle or slotted nut, to keep the bolt from moving out of place, along with a cotter pin or safety wire to keep the threaded nut from moving off the threaded portion of the bolt.

Loose bolts can have different meanings:
-the nut is not pulled tight, i.e. can be moved without a tool. This would not be a fault necessary, if the castle nut is still secured by the cotter pin.
-the cotter pin is missing. This would be bad, as the nut can turn loose so the bolt can slip out.
-the nut is missing. Very bad obviously
-the bolt is missing. Worst case.
Nowhere in the informations available these different scenarios have been discussed. Anyone who knows better?
I can think of a completely different scenario. A mechanic not trained for the working of a castle nut with cotter pin, might have pulled the nut with too much torque, so giving unspecified load on the bearing. The bearing could brake at any time.

Just shows that Boeing cannot be trusted. I would be very sceptical about the safety of any new aircraft they build from here on out.

I have not liked the Boeing for a long time! Dangerous planes. I prefer to fly on IL-96 planes.

That's why I would never buy an American car, much less fly on an American plane if I can avoid it, which I fortunately can. Money first, quality last.
