| 2024-04-08 |
| [FoxBusinessNews] This is now the fourth time a Boeing plane had to divert to Denver for issues so far this year. A Southwest Airlines flight had to make an emergency stop after an engine part fell off during takeoff from Denver International Airport on Sunday morning. The Boeing 737-800 plane was headed for William P. Hobby Airport in Houston when the engine cowling fell off and struck the wing flap during takeoff, according to The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The FAA released a statement Sunday morning saying that the flight returned safely and that an investigation into the incident is ongoing. "Southwest Airlines Flight 3695 returned safely to Denver International airport around 8:15 a.m. local time on Sunday, April 7, after the crew reported the engine cowling fell off during takeoff and struck the wing flap," the statement read. "The Boeing 737-800 was towed to the gate. The FAA will investigate." |

| #4 Not a Boeing problem. Southwest has a maintenance issue. The FAA will certainly be paying them a visit.. |

| #2 The world goes bonkers about Boeing, but the reality is that somewhere out there is an A&P mechanic sweating their (possible) upcoming "interview" at FSDO. Unless, of course, if DIE (transposition intentional), there is no need to sweat. |
