U.S. briefly grounds Boeing 737 MAX 9 planes after victory



U.S. regulators have ordered the temporary grounding of 171 Boeing 737 MAX 9 aircraft for safety checks following a cabin panel blowout late Friday that forced a brand-new airplane operated by Alaska Airlines to make an emergency landing. The incident is the latest mishap for Boeing Plane. Social media showed part of the aircraft's side wall missing.


"The FAA is requiring prompt investigations of specific Boeing 737 MAX 9 planes before they can get back to flight," FAA Chairman Mike Whitaker said on Saturday. " As we provide assistance to the NTSB in its investigation into Alaska Airlines Flight 1282, safety will continue to guide our decisions.
