00:00 The terrifying moments after an Alaska Airlines plane lost a door plug mid-flight last Friday.
00:07 And on Monday, the airline said an inspection revealed some loose hardware visible on some
00:11 of its aircraft.
00:13 Now, United Airlines says it too has found loose bolts on several of its planes of the
00:19 same model.
00:20 Preliminary inspections of its aircraft on Saturday found what it described as installation
00:25 issues, including bolts on the door plug that needed additional tightening.
00:29 Following the Alaska Airlines incident, the US Federal Aviation Administration grounded
00:34 all Boeing Max 9s installed with the same panel.
00:37 The United Airlines find means the investigation will likely now be expanded to the whole fleet.
