more than 170 boeing 737 max nine planes now grounded globally as the national transportation safety board races to investigate what went wrong. >> is this a systemic issue with the max aircraft or was this an individual? and i'm isolated incident. they are going to take a close look at that at the ntsb. but across the board, aviation is under a microscope. it is stretched to the limit. right now. we are short air traffic controllers. we have more planes in the sky than ever before. and right now the focus is on making things safer. >> this incident is just the latest case in high profile air scares, leaving some passengers anxious, fearing for their safety from a cabin filling with smoke and panic, evacuating passengers evacuating after a bird strike on this southwest flight to florida last year. to extreme turbulence. terrified passengers at the moment of you kind of think, please god, just let me get out of this. >> and then those near misses on the nation's runways all of a sudden here on cl adult to the mostrillionecent, a devastating plane crash in the tokyo runway last week, killing

the u.s. national transportation safety board holding a news conference about the incident right now in portland, oregon. let's listen in. >> investigator with the ntsb. he's been with the ntsb for 24 years but many more years in aviation, and he'll be the lead investigator for this investigation. we call the lead investigator the investigator in charge or iic. the national transportation safety board is an independent federal agency charged by congress with investigating every civil aviation accident in the united states and significant events in all other modes of transportation. our goal always is to save lives. so at the end of our investigation, we issue safety recommendations that are aimed at preventing tragedies from reoccurring. however, we don't have to wait for a final report to take action. at any point during an investigation we can issue an urgent safety recommendation. again, at any point during an investigation so that we address any potential safety issues early on. now, we're here investigating an accident. and yes, we've now determined based on our definition of substantial da

the national transportation safety board is looking for those answers, saying king alaska knew that the plane's pressurization system warning light had previously come on three different times and then reset by technicians before friday's flight. >> what they asked for is for maintenance to take a more in-depth look at that light that was illuminate, but that work had not been done yet prior to this event. and alaska had specially ordered the plane not to fly to and from hawaii so it would not be over water. >> that's a great question for alaska. those are questions we are asking as well. >> the passengers were actually lucky to be at 16,000ft when the blowout happened, and breathing masks deployed at that altitude, the air is very thin and the outside temperature is -17 degrees. had it been at cruise level, 30 to 35,000ft, it would have been a much more explosive event where the air is unbreathable and the temperature is an incredible 67 degrees below zero. it would take the crew at least two minutes to get the plane down to 10,000ft, where the air and temperature are tolerable. all th

jennifer homendy chairs the national transportation safety board. y: it was described as chaos, very loud. between the air and, everything going on around them. and it was very violent, when the rapid decompression in the door was expelled, out of the plane. miles: the federal aviation administration quickly grounded boeing 737 max 9 jets with the same panel to undergo safety checks, forcing the cancellation of hundreds of flights. the ntsb said the jetliner that suffered the blowout was not being used for flights to hawaii after a warning light that could have indicated a pressurization issue lit up on three separate flights. they acknowledged the light may be unrelated to friday's incident. all this comes after problems with the 737 max's mcas safety systems led to deadly crashes of the planes in indonesia and ethiopia back in 2018 and 2019. that issue grounded the max jets for nearly two years. the airlines that fly the 737 max 9 are now actively inspecting those plug doors to see what might have gone wrong. the associated press is reporting that

the national transport safety board engineering in the united states says it's investigating the incident of the earlier i asked adrian, expert and journalist julian bray in cambridge, have such a failure could have happened in the flight? well, the bird may, this is a spade, so i know, sorry about that c h 2, which isn't used by alaska airlines. so instead of putting a door in boeing, pushing a whole section with the window. ready and it is this section, so some reason failed and flew out. so it was back to the door. it's a whole panel. and that is what happens. the air across that re 16000 seats, the which happens, the pressurized, the pilots, very quickly offs for mission to descend. every time to is apple that she said as, as a descended the pressurize ation issue with lessons. but very frightening because of people's phones with tablet hands, all that sort of thing. but so they did actually get out and they were all sites. it seems almost that miraculous that nobody was seriously injured. it may seem almost like a silly question. what was i to ask you to have dangers? is it for even

so there's the investigation that's been launched by the national transportation safety board that is aimed at getting to the bottom of the accident. what caused it specifically, they're looking at whether the bolts that were designed to keep that panel in place or incorrectly installed, or perhaps we're not even there in the 1st place. and then you have this investigation by the f a, a, b, f, a, a wants to know if boeing followed the design that the agency had approved for the max 9. and if they did not, why not? an embedded within that pro is the larger question of whether there might be broader, more systemic problems with boys quality control processes that would require the regulators to intervene with enforcement directives that could head off future emergencies, such as this one. but perhaps even emergencies with more severe outcomes than what we saw. so multiple investigations going on and one even questioning, overall safety protocol, ad boring. what kind of an impact can such increased scrutiny have for the airlines manufacturer as well? we know that boeing has suffered its

the national transportation safety board has revealed alaska airlines had concerns about the plane prior to the incident but kept using it. during three recent flights, the plane's auto pressurization fail light had illuminated. in response, alaska airlines had restricted the plane from flying over water to increase the chances the pilots could "return very quickly to an airport." in 2019, all boeing 737 max 9 -- max 8 jets were grounded after 346 people died in crashes in ethiopia and indonesia. we will speak with the mother of one of those victims who died in the ethiopian crash, as well as a former boeing supervisor later in the broadcast. in bangladesh, prime minister sheikh hasina has been elected to her fourth straight term in an election marred with controversy after bangladesh's main opposition party boycotted the elections. the opposition bangladesh nationalist party says as many as 20,000 of its members have been jailed in recent months in a nationwide crackdown. many are speculating whether she's trying to turn bangladesh into a one-party state. she is the daughter of the foun

george: the process is going to be led by the national transportation safety board. ey and the faa will look at the evidence on the airplane, then look at the existing fleet of 737-9's. once they figure out why they thought it happened, they will try and figure out if it is prevalent in other airplanes in the fleet, then i think they will be ready to sign off on what the fix is. again, i think our gas is if it is an anomaly, it is something they can have their hands around really within a week or so. there are only 225 or so of those 737-9's in the global fleet right now, most of them in the u.s. being flown by united and by alaska. so it ought to be something they can get their arms around pretty quickly. if it spread to the rotor max fleet, which is another -- the broader max fleet, that would be a much bigger problem if they had to do inspections on those, but right now we don't see that. amber: if you are just an everyday person and you hear about the two deadly crashes they had nearly five years ago, you are now hearing about this issue, there is a lot that needs
