An engine cover on a Southwest Airlines Boeing 737-800 fell off during takeoff in Denver, striking the wing flap, leading to an FAA investigation. The flight safely returned, with no injuries. Passengers arrived later in Houston on a different aircraft.
Boeing faced criticism after incidents like the engine cover mishap, following previous problems with a door plug panel on an Alaska Airlines 737 MAX 9. The FAA grounded the MAX 9, restricted Boeing's production, and initiated a criminal investigation.
