Boeing 737 Max 9 fuselage part came off in flight on January 5th. NTSB says four fasteners were missing from the fuselage of the aircraft in question.

Boeing has been heavily criticized since the accident. FAA announced stricter controls at Boeing after the incident, and some airlines also want to send their own inspectors to the production lines. The affected variant of the 737-9 Max instead has a cover that closes the opening. No aircraft of the affected model are in use by EU airlines.
