DENVER — An engine cover on a Boeing 737 operated by Southwest Airlines ripped open just after taking off from Denver International Airport Sunday morning.
The Houston-bound Southwest flight took off from DIA around 7:45 a.m., and returned to the airport 30 minutes later, landing safely. No injuries were reported.
It’s also important to try to avoid jumping to conclusions without the facts. If this is a new 737 and there’s a manufacturing issue, then rake Boeing over the coals. They do have problems. But if this is an older plane that had either maintenance issues, then go after Southwest first unless it’s a Boeing responsibility. And of course, things do happen beyond anyone’s control too, and engines that fail for any reason but don’t take out the rest of the aircraft is a bit of a win for design.
It’s not new. Is also not a Max. Airframe is from 2015.

Eh, I am still not going if it is Boeing.
I will. If something bad happens that doesn’t cause any injury or death, then I just get a fun experience
Neat. Now compare vs Airbus and see all those different compartments become meaningless.
and the engines aren’t even really boeing responsibility, its the engine manufacturers.
“The buck stops anywhere but here.”
Boeing : “iTs tHe fAuLt Of ThE PiLoTs!”
I agree with your rationality, but I will never pass up an opportunity to rake Boeing over the coals after the 737 max debacle.
