  blancolirio is really great at explaining...mishaps. He provides details and an explanation of those details that's accessible. It's the first place I go to "find out what happened" for any kind of air incident.

    Not just aviation and not just mishaps, but, almoshaps too! I first started watching his channel during the Oroville dam crisis in 2017 and he had some excellent coverage of that event. He seems to cover "things which interest him" the venn diagram of which which overlaps with mine quite a lot.

  A scary comment from the video: "I’ve been an aircraft technician for 23 years and we operate the Max9. I’ve opened and closed one of these plugs as well. Keep in mind that other 737 NG’s have these plugs installed in the longer fuselage models, not just the Max. They all work the same way and there’s never been an incident like this. I’m not saying this is what happened, but I can’t see how this could lug could come loose unless the two upper capture bolts, and the two lower bolts through the spring hinges weren’t installed. Even if a set of bolts, either uppers or lowers were missing with the opposites installed, I can’t see how the plug could come loose and depart the airframe. Just my ten cents. " - @jeffropenn
