Hundreds of Boeing 737 Max 9 aircraft remained grounded on Friday after a man-high side part broke out of the fuselage on an Alaska Airlines flight. The American aviation authority FAA announced a formal investigation on the same day. Individual countries such as Panama completely banned the take-off of the 737 Max.

Of course, to avoid the unfortunate “Max” model.
