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.
Sorry what??? The 737NG and A320 CEO use the same CFM 56 engine. If it was an issue with CFM and the engines it made then Airbus would be as likely to have an issue as Boeing.
But it isn’t at all. If this was a problem with Boeing then we would have been seeing issues with this for 20 years. This is 100% Southwest’s fault and has nothing to do with Boeing or CFM. Would you blame Ford if the mechanic didn’t tighten your wheel lug nuts?
You want to say the MAX planes are shit I am right with you, but this plane was made before the MAX planes even came out and the engineering was done in 1990.
Again: wrong argument on class. I already explained why. Not having this with you.
I am not arguing about the “class” plane. I am saying it was Southwest’s fault because they didn’t properly latch the cowling so it blew open. As I said before would you blame the manufacturer of your car if the local tire shop didn’t tighten your tire lug nuts?
Don’t get snippy with me if you can’t actually respond to the points I bring up.
