Boeing has been making headlines for all the wrong reasons lately, with the FAA launching an investigation into its quality control following a dangerous in-flight failure that uncovered major safety concerns in many of its planes.

Alaska Airlines Flight 1282 was forced to make an emergency landing in Portland after a large piece of the new 737 MAX 9 plane blew off while it was flying at around 16,000 feet. Luckily, no passenger was seated near the blown-out panel, which left a huge hole in the side of the plane.
