Passengers aboard an Alaska Airlines plane that made an emergency landing after a fuselage panel blew off this year have started to receive letters from the F.B.I. identifying them as possible victims of a crime.

The letters are a sign that a criminal investigation the Justice Department has opened into Boeing, the manufacturer of the 737 Max 9 jet, is ramping up.

    From the headline I thought some agent just jumped up in the middle of the flight and announced there had been a crime like some cheesy cop show.

            Was this the most successful ad campaign for something most people never even think about?

          I don’t think they’ve used asbestos in airplanes for at least a couple of years.

      The lights go out and when they come back on, the whistleblower is dead.

      Detective: A crime has occurred and every passenger on this plane is a suspect! No one may leave this plane!
