A door plug panel blew off the plane shortly after takeoff, leaving a gaping hole that sucked objects out of the cabin.

The National Transportation Safety Board Chair Jennifer Homendy says the crew shouldn't have had to be heroes.

The NTSB says lapses in Boeing ’s manufacturing and safety oversight, combined with ineffective inspections and audits by the Federal Aviation Administration , led to the malfunction.

Boeing factory workers told NTSB they felt pressured to work too fast and were asked to perform jobs they weren’t qualified for.

None of the 24 people on the door team was ever trained to remove a door plug and only one of them had ever removed one before.

NTSB staff also told the board that Boeing didn't have strong enough safety practices in place to ensure the door plug was properly reinstalled.
