I look forward to the investigation results on this one. I’m not afraid of flying but this would terrify me.

How the heck did a relatively new plane get a compromised fuselage like this??

It's Boeing. Look at what their corrupt money grubbing executives did with the max 8. It won't stop until they're bankrupt.

They won't go bankrupt. They sell too much to the government and have retooled themselves as a lobbying group. Eventually they will get a big government bailout and economists will tell us how great that is.

I saw a pilot reply earlier and he said that it's an emergency exit designed for larger passenger configurations of the plane but should have been properly plugged in this configuration.....I think it's time to pull McDonnell Douglas out of Boeing and start again.
