Data map: On February 20, 2021 local time, a United Airlines flight bound for Honolulu was forced to return to Denver International Airport due to engine failure shortly after takeoff.

　　The report was reportedly written by a panel of experts convened at the request of the U.S. Congress.

The report found a "disconnect" between Boeing's senior management and other employees.

Additionally, the way the company managed its safety culture was at times "inadequate and confusing."

　　In a statement, Boeing said it supported the group's work and acknowledged that while the company has taken "important steps" to improve its safety culture, more work remains to be done.

　　The New York Times also mentioned that last month, a fuselage panel of an Alaska Airlines Boeing 737 MAX9 aircraft cracked in the air, triggering new concerns.

The National Transportation Safety Board said key bolts may not have held the fuselage panels in place when they left the Boeing factory.
