Another Mid-Flight , Boeing Incident Occurs, Amid Increased Scrutiny.
On March 4, a United Airlines Boeing 737
flight was forced to make an emergency
landing after bursting into flames mid-air. .
'The Independent' reports that the
plane's engine exploded shortly after
taking off from Fort Meyers, Florida. .
The Houston-bound flight was forced
to make an emergency landing
just moments after taking off. .
No injuries were
linked to the incident.
According to United Airlines, , "the flight landed safely, and the
passengers deplaned normally.".
The airline added that it, "arranged for a new aircraft to take
our customers to their destination.".
'The Independent' reports that the cause
of the accident is currently under investigation
by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). .
In January, Boeing came under increased
scrutiny after a door panel on a 737 Max 9
blew off in the middle of an Alaska Airlines flight.
In January, Boeing came under increased

Following the incident, in which several passengers were injured,
all Boeing 737 Max 9s were grounded, and investigations were
opened by the FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board.
Boeing must commit to real and
profound improvements. Making
foundational change will require
a sustained effort from Boeing’s

to hold them accountable

Ford Orders Recall , Over Potential SUV Gas Leak.
ABC reports that Ford has ordered
a recall for almost 43,000 small SUVs
due to a potential risk of fire. .
The recall impacts some Bronco
Sport SUVs from 2022 and 2023,
as well as 2022's Escape SUVs. .
According to Ford, gasoline can leak from
fuel injectors near or onto hot engine surfaces,
which increases the risk of starting fires.
The recall does not reportedly include repairing
any potential fuel leak, which the company
claims only impacts about 1% of their SUVs.
ABC reports that Michael Brooks, executive director
of the nonprofit Center for Auto Safety,
has called Ford's decision a "Band-aid type recall.".
Brooks claims that even a 1% failure
rate is high and places drivers
at potential risk for a crash.
The NHTSA said that it lacks legal
authority to pre-approve recall fixes. .
The agency added that it would, "closely track their performance using field data.".
However, Brooks suggests that Congress
needs to change laws so that the NHTSA can , "require something more than the rubber
stamp that NHTSA is currently deploying.”.
That is a post-remedy inquiry
that won't make the fixes better,
and further stretches out the process
and leaves consumers in limbo. , Michael Brooks, executive director of the
nonprofit Center for Auto Safety, via ABC
