JUST IN: Audio released after Southwest Airlines Flight 3695 was forced to make an emergency landing after its engine cowling detached during takeoff. The pilot can be heard calling for an emergency landing. The Boeing 737-800s engine cowling detached and “struck the wing flap” during takeoff. The flight was able to turn around and land safely at Denver International Airport. “Southwest Airlines Flight 3695 returned safely to Denver International Airport around 8:15 a.m. local time on Sunday, April 7, after the pilot reported the engine cowling fell off during takeoff and struck the wing flap. The Boeing 737-800 was towed to the gate. The aircraft was headed to William P. Hobby Airport in Houston. The FAA will investigate,” the FAA said in a statement.
@CollinRugg Now seems like an appropriate time to remind everyone that Boeing Quality Manager-turned-whistleblower John Barnett did not kill himself.
@CollinRugg Boeing 737’s have had issues with cowling securement for a while now. Back in 2022 an event almost identical to this happened with Alaska Airlines.
@CollinRugg How can anyone feel safe ever flying with these airlines or on a Boeing plane knowing this odd stuff keeps happening and the companies promote DEI? Even the FAA is employing DEI in their hiring practices. It needs to be outlawed immediately. Thank God the plane landed safely.
@CollinRugg This is part of Agenda 2030. They are making flying and traveling unstable so they can have the government come in and save the day with more control and carbon travel credits. 🤢😬
I can imagine the slip & fall lawyers were running to the gate when it landed. The airline industry is quickly rising from one of the safest to having a daily occurrence of WTH. The story headline the other day sums up DEI : Boeing insider claims aviation giant is failing because profit-hungry executives are all working from home and slams DEI push at company for being 'anti-excellence' dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…
@CollinRugg Another one! Every day it becomes more clear this is how they are going to stop people from flying. They couldn’t shut down the airline industry so instead they will make everyone afraid to fly.
@CollinRugg Remember that Boeing Quality Control Supervisor whistleblower who “committed suicide”
@CollinRugg I have taken 5 road trips in less than 2 months. This is why.
