investigators for sharing information about a federal investigation of a door plug blowout that left a gaping hole in a Boeing 737 Max 9.
The NTSB said Boeing portrayed the NTSB's investigation as a search to find the individual responsible for the door plug work, but the agency said it was focused on the probable cause of the accident, not placing blame on any individual or assessing liability. The NTSB is unable to fine Boeing, as it doesn't have enforcement authority. While the agency could have stripped away Boeing's party status, the NTSB may have considered it more important to keep Boeing as a party to the investigation because of its employees' expertise.The missing part of the Alaska Airlines aircraft that blew off mid-flight has been found.
The NTSB said that it will coordinate with the Department of Justice's Fraud Division, giving them information about Boeing's recent unauthorised investigative information releases related to the 737 Max 9 door plug investigation.
