Boeing overwrote surveillance footage of door plug repair, NTSB chair says: The NTSB said Boeing is blocking it from getting all the information it needs.
abcnews.go.com/US/boeing-overwrote-surveillance-footage-door-plug-repair-ntsb/story
Quick Glance: Alaska Airlines Flight Maintenance and Safety
- Alaska Airlines flight 1282, on which a door plug blew off the side of the plane shortly after takeoff on January 5, was scheduled to be taken out of service for maintenance the same day, according to the airline.
- The National Transportation Safety Board found that Boeing probably did not put required bolts in the door plug to prevent that part from blowing off the plane.
- NTSB discovered that concerns with warning lights led Alaska Airlines to restrict the plane from carrying passengers on long-haul routes over water.
- While the maintenance schedule alignment does not necessarily implicate Alaska Airlines, it does raise further concerns regarding the maintenance policies and regulations of America's fleet.
2024 NFL free agency: Former All-Pro LB Eric Kendricks to sign one-year deal with 49ers, per report
cbssports.com/nfl/news/2024-nfl-free-agency-former-all-pro-lb-eric-kendricks-to-sign-one-year-deal-with-49ers-per-report/
Quick Glance: LB Kendricks selects NFC rival over 49ers amid free-agency surge
- Following the dismissal of Steve Wilks as Defensive Coordinator, the onset of Free Agency brought about extensive changes in the 49ers' defensive line.
- Despite the potential synergy between Kendricks and Fred Warner, the seasoned nine-year veteran opted unexpectedly for the Dallas Cowboys instead of the 49ers after agreeing to a one-year contract.
- The release of Arik Armstead and the acquisition of Maliek Collins by the 49ers indicate a clear reorientation in the team's defensive line.
- Defensive initiatives under the new Coordinator Nick Sorensen aim to fortify the 49ers, with the losses of backup quarterback Sam Darnold to the Minnesota Vikings and the restructuring of Kyle Juszczyk's contract for salary cap room standing out as noteworthy developments.
