It is kind of weird they say "important to note" CFM built the engine, when the fault will most likely be the 1st Officer not catching it in his or her preflight walk-around or a maintenance person who may have not properly closed the engine panels. CFM built an engine that could keep going despite the inadequacy of people operating them. This enabled the plane to bring those people to safety and thats pretty awesome in my book

Just because it's a Boeing aircraft doesn't necessarily mean that the failure was Boeing's fault. It reminds me of the story of the Delta 757 that lost a tire about a month ago. The 757 hasn't been produced since 2004, and there haven't been any other reported issues with any other 757 lately. Thus, it was a maintenance issue. My guess is that the SWA technician was either insufficiently trained or was distracted, and forgot to secure the cowling.

It was so windy in Denver yesterday and today that I’m not surprised.

None of these have anything to do with Boing. This is a Maintenance issue, the mechanic forgot to latch the cowling after it was closed, probably got distracted from the task for some reason. Also the flight crew failed to notice the latch was not secure before flight. This happens almost every year and of course it’s not good! But understandable given the human ability to be distracted.

Not related except all were Boeing aircraft! 🤷🏻‍♂️ the engine cover could likely be a maintenance crew error which has nothing to do with who built the aircraft.

What on earth is going on with all these airline mishaps???? WHO IS CHECKING THE SAFETY MAINTENANCE??? Seems they have been going unchecked and putting so many lives at risk. SHAME ON THE MANUFACTURERS AND THOSE RESPONSIBLE FOR SAFETY CHECKS!!!

Is the engine cover made in China? This is a national security issue. Gina Raimondo needs to take this up with China.

This incident is not on Boeing, not on CFMI, not on UTC or whoever else made the cowling. Not a design or manufacturing issue at all. A 9 year old SWA 737 will have performed several THOUSAND takeoffs and landings by now, requiring multiple visits for maintenance, for which there will be records. And just spitballing here, but it's remotely possible the plane hit something on takeoff or shortly after. Doubtful that there is a modern-age bird big or hard enough to cause that sort of damage, but something on the runway (or maybe a drone?) might. The Feds will get to the bottom of this one, tout de suite.

This is getting too eerily similar to May 25, 1979 in Chicago. How many more times are we going to see parts of an airplane fall off. We've been fortunate that the most recent incidents, ended without fatalities. If this keeps up, there will soon be a disaster that equals flight 191.

Chill The engine cowlings are aerodynamic aids. No plane has ever crashed because the engine cowlings came off. It's scary to see, but poses no real safety risk to those on board. The only real danger is for people on the ground with the falling cowlings.

Add this to the pile of arguments and evidence to re regulate the airline industry.

At this point, why don't all jumbo jets have cameras giving the cockpit full visibility if the plane's exterior? The crew basically has to wait for a passenger to see the engine cover flying off before they are aware of it. It would be a simple exercise to have AI alert the crew to any changes to the structure. The average citizen can get better awareness with a cheap Ring Cam.
