Two unreported Southwest incidents come to light. In news that only was revealed recently, two Southwest flights involving Boeing 737 Max 8s experienced mishaps, though both were able to land safely without injuries to passengers or crew. According to Bloomberg, the FAA has opened an investigation into an April flight that came within 400 feet of crashing into the Pacific Ocean near Hawaii due to an inadvertent landing attempt that was aborted. One month later, a flight from Phoenix to Oakland sustained damage from “a Dutch roll,” which is when an aircraft’s tail slides side to side with the plane rocking in a way that causes the wings to roll up and down, an event Southwest did not report until two weeks later.
