The United States Department of Justice has started a criminal investigation into the Boeing jet door blowout case which had created a gaping hole on the Alaska Airlines aeroplane in January, reported the Wall Street Journal on Saturday (Mar 9). Alaska Airlines' plane door blew out seven minutes after it took off from Portland, Oregon which forced the pilots to make an emergency landing. In an official statement, Alaska Airlines said, “In an event like this, it’s normal for the DOJ to be conducting an investigation. In a letter to Congress, Boeing also acknowledged that it is not able to find records for work done on Alaska Airlines plane's door panel. “Without that information, that raises concerns about quality assurance, quality management, safety management systems” at Boeing, he said.
