7:08 pm
who you believe. >> that was back in the 1990s. they said they thought the problem was solved and now the investigation into this incident is underway. federal officials think it might have been caused by a damaged back up power control unit. it all comes as the 737 max remains under heavy scrutiny in the wake of the door plug blowing out of a brand-new alaska airlines 9 that led to a temporary grounding of that model. he says the faa has to be a better watch dog of the industry. that things happen during every flight of which passengers are just not normally aware. usually works out fine. >> you are in a threat-rich environment. you are seven miles in the air in an atmosphere you can not breathe in, too cold to survive and you find something with millions of parts in it. things can happen. >> does not make you feel too good. he flew the 737 for 10
