On January 10th, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) announced that they will be focusing on Boeing and Spirit AeroSystems after a door plug fell off an Alaska Airlines flight. The NTSB is investigating the manufacture and installation of the door plug, which left a gaping hole in the passenger cabin wall.
This incident has caused concern for safety measures on other MAX 9 aircraft as well.

The NTSB is focusing on the manufacture and installation of the door plug that fell off a 737 MAX 9 aircraft, leaving a gaping hole in the passenger cabin wall.
Spirit AeroSystems of Wichita, Kan., is responsible for installing the door plug and Boeing in Renton is responsible for final inspection before sealing it behind insulation and sidewall.
Alaska Airlines found loose bolts on door plugs while inspecting other MAX 9s, indicating a serious factory quality control issue with Boeing.
The focus of the discussion at the Monday news conference was four missing bolts that should have kept the door plug in place during violent explosive decompression.
On Tuesday, the FAA suggested returning to service may take a while as they revise initial inspection instructions and approve them from Boeing.
Alaska Airlines is still awaiting final inspection and maintenance instructions for its fleet of 65 MAX 9s before resuming operations.
Boeing executives gathered in Renton on Tuesday to address the impact of the accident, including CEO Dave Calhoun who called it a reminder of the seriousness with which they have to approach their work.
The initial NTSB findings indicate four bolts that should have prevented door plug from moving outward were either missing or broken.
The upper and lower bolts on the door plug prevent it from blowing out in air by securing two shafts at bottom of door that prevent springs below pushing upwards.
Microscopic examination of the door plug will determine if four missing bolts existed there, which could have caused rapid depressurization incident.
Alaska Airlines' decision to not fly jet on long-range trips over water was a precautionary measure taken voluntarily by airline to provide an additional safety margin when any important systems show repetitive problem.
The MAX is certified to fly routes that take it more than three hours from the nearest airport and Alaska Airlines policy restricts it from doing so at any sign of system issue is extra step they put in place.

Deception
(80%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the initial focus of the NTSB investigation was on Boeing and Spirit Aerosystems for their role in manufacturing and installing the door plug that fell off. However, later it was revealed that both Alaska Airlines and United found loose bolts on other MAX 9 aircraft during inspections. This suggests a serious factory quality control issue with Boeing's final inspection process, which is not being adequately addressed by the FAA. Secondly, the article presents information about previous depressurization incidents involving this new MAX 9 model as unrelated to the door plug blowout incident on Alaska Airlines flight 1282. However, it is possible that these incidents are related and could indicate a larger problem with Boeing's design or manufacturing process for this aircraft model.

Fallacies
(75%)
The article contains several examples of informal fallacies. The author uses an appeal to authority by stating that the NTSB has found four missing bolts on door plugs while inspecting other MAX 9s. This is not a formal finding and should be treated as speculative until confirmed by further investigation. Additionally, the article contains several examples of dichotomous depictions, such as when it states that
