On the morning of January 9, at Norilsk Airport in Krasnoyarsk Krai, Russia, a Boeing 737-800 passenger plane belonging to Russia's "Northern Star" airline rushed out of the runway during landing. Fortunately, there were more than 170 passengers and crew on board, and there were no casualties.
The incident came just four days after an Alaska Airlines Boeing 737 MAX 9 airliner burst and fell off in the air. The two accidents happened one after another, which makes people wonder: why Boeing 737 again?
Four days ago, on January 5, a Boeing 737 MAX 9 passenger plane of Alaska Airlines was nearly 5,000 meters in the air when the emergency hatch suddenly burst and fell off, causing explosive decompression in the cabin. At the critical moment, 169 passengers, with the help of the crew, put on oxygen masks, and finally landed safely without casualties. However, some of the passengers' mobile phones were still sucked out of the cabin, and one boy's clothes were torn off by the air current.
In recent years, the Boeing 737 family of airliners has been involved in a number of accidents, some of which have led to serious consequences. The safety accidents in Russia and the United States have once again focused people's attention on the safety of the Boeing 737 passenger aircraft. While there is no conclusive evidence that the Boeing 737MAX9 and 737-800 aircraft have obvious design flaws, the two accidents have undoubtedly raised questions about the aircraft's safety.
The relevant departments of Russia and the United States have begun to investigate the two accidents in order to determine the cause of the accidents. The United States was the first to order the grounding of 171 Boeing 737 MAX 9s in the United States. Previously, aviation regulators in India, the United Kingdom, and Europe have also asked their airlines to strengthen safety inspections of Boeing 737 series passenger aircraft, especially the 737 MAX 8 and 9 series, to ensure the safety of passengers and crew.
As one of the world's best-selling passenger aircraft, the Boeing 737 has attracted much attention for its safety performance. This series of safety incidents has made people realize that both aircraft manufacturers and airlines have a responsibility to ensure the safety of passenger aircraft. We hope that the relevant departments of Russia and the United States can find out the cause of the accident as soon as possible, take effective measures to strengthen safety management, and let passengers travel with peace of mind.
In addition, passengers should also fully understand the safety knowledge and cooperate with the crew to take various safety measures when taking the plane. Only in this way can we ensure the safety of flights to the greatest extent and avoid tragedies. Let us all follow this matter and look forward to the results of the investigation to ensure aviation safety.
