    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    A Boeing 737 operated by Southwest Airlines had to turn around mid-flight after an engine cover ripped off on Sunday.

    Southwest Airlines told Business Insider in a statement that Flight 3695 returned to the Denver International Airport and landed safely after experiencing a “mechanical issue.”

    In January, the Federal Aviation Administration grounded 171 Boeing 737 Max 9 planes after a section of an Alaska Airlines fuselage — a plug over what was previously a door — ripped away mid-flight.

    The FAA said in a statement at the time that each plane would have to undergo an eight-hour safety inspection before it’s allowed to carry passengers again.

    Boeing Chairman Steve Mollenkopf has reached out directly to several airlines following the company’s recent struggles, Bloomberg reported.

    Mollenkpf’s move came after Ryanair CEO Michael O’Leary said that Boeing showed a “lack of attention to detail.”

      Ryanair CEO Michael O’Leary said that Boeing showed a “lack of attention to detail.”

      You know… Ryanair throwing shade around about lack of anything is pretty hilarious.

        Don’t they have a really good safety record? They’re cheap, and the user experience isn’t great, but I never heard anything about aafty problems.
