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..

The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.
“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.
In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.
He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.
Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.
Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.
The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

Explosions have been heard near two Iranian port cities, Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, state media has reported.
It comes after another night of strikes between the US and Iran, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps saying it hit two UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and targeted US facilities in Jordan and Bahrain.
The UAE called the attack “brazen”, adding that an Indian crew member was killed and eight others were injured.
Meanwhile, the US military says it completed strikes on targets aimed at degrading “Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping” – Iranian state media reports three people were killed.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.
Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.
President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.

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.

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.
