Now it’s an FAA grounding of all planes. -- (link) - spamlet Jan 6, 10:09 2
- Well a subset of all planes "will order the temporary grounding of certain Boeing 737 Max 9 aircraft operated by US airlines or in US territory" -- nm - JD Jan 6, 11:38 1
  - I assume it’s all planes with the plugged door. That got updated after I posted. -- nm - spamlet Jan 6, 11:42
I like the "Passengers said" part. That's their opinion. Maybe the hole was there the whole time -- nm - Mop🧹 Jan 6, 09:36 1
- It kind of was? An operator of the Max 9 can opt to not stuff it completely full of uncomfortable super close seats and thus have a lower capacity - JD Jan 6, 11:46
There doesn’t seem to have been a massive suction event like happens in the movies. - Loyola Jan 6, 09:31 2
- Plane was only at 16,000 feet (it had only been in the air a few minutes). Higher altitude would have resulted in more suction. -- nm - ty97 Jan 6, 09:34 1
  - Ah ok. -- nm - Loyola Jan 6, 10:09
oh this Boeing 737 Max? -- (link) - hollywood big shot Jan 6, 09:12 2
- Those two still aren't certified. -- nm - ty97 Jan 6, 09:13 1
  - good weekend to watch Downfall again -- nm - hollywood big shot Jan 6, 09:16
It certainly looks like a door cutout -- nm - spamlet Jan 6, 08:31 1
- It 100% was the plugged exit door, no question based on the location. - ty97 Jan 6, 09:08
When they've just about recovered from the Max 8 fiasco. -- nm - Meg Jan 6, 08:27 1
- Max fiascos are the friggin worst. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 6, 08:32
