Failures are more likely to be United then SW ... United has a larger fleet. Third biggest for mainline fleet, but second on flightrader so guessing there's some subcontracting type stuff going into that number. Incidents happen with all airliners all over the world. United had the bad luck of having some viral videos, and thus is getting higher scrutiny due to those videos. Did you know a Delta plane also lost a wheel (prior to takeoff) a month prior to the United ? And one a year prior that also fell off (that nearly hit another plane)? There were no viral videos so very little coverage. Check out some atc videos here on youtube and a database of avaitation incidents to get a perhaps fairer take on what's up.

Trying to be fair to Boeing here, as it would seem that at some point since the aircraft entered service with Southwest, it had the cowling removed & replaced as part of routine engine maintenance. If this was a brand new plane that was making it’s first few flights since arriving from the factory, or if the screws are found to be substandard, that is a different story, but I think the real issue here is “in-service” maintenance by Southwest. You used to worry about the airline losing your luggage. Now you are more concerned about it losing doors, windows, engines, cowlings and people while in flight.

It's going to accelerate and climb until you follow a specific set of shutdown actions. Damn thing stalled seconds to landing, too. Both pilots faught the autopilot all the way down, crashing next to runway.

Do not forget, this is the same manufacturer who knew their 737 models were recalled and chose to keep them in the air because it was the cheaper alternative. Then, 157 passengers and crew died in Ethiopia.

This incident has absolutely NOTHING to do with it being a Boeing aircraft. There are latches on the bottom of the engine cowling that when unlatched allow the two halves to open upward on hinges so the engine can be serviced. One of the duties of the flight crew member who is doing the walk around of the plane before the flight, is to check thes latches. This incident, like so many of the recent incidents being reported with Boeing aircraft, are maintenance issues, plain and simple.

@CNN - This is not a Boeing 737 Max issue, nor any other variant of the 737. It is also not an engine issue in any way, shape, or form. This was almost 100% a maintenance crew forgetting to latch the engine cover after routine maintenance. This has happened before both on the 737 (nearly any variant), and the Airbus A320 series....as well as many other aircraft types. The issue would by if any part of the cover was ingested into the engine, or if it hit a control surface. The engine covers are considerably light - on purpose, and are easily damaged.

I hope everyone responsible will spend considerable time in jail, everyone of them.

So, this was visible already during taxiing and nobody of the passengers/crew alerted the pilots before even attempting take-off??
