A grand jury has been convened to examine evidence in the Jan. 5 incident, according to two people briefed on the matter.
The blowout on a 737 Max plane during a Jan. 5 Alaska Airlines flight left a gaping hole where door plug had been. The Justice Department is looking into the Jan. 5 blowout of a portion of the fuselage of a Boeing 737 Max jetliner operated by Alaska Airlines, according to two people briefed on the matter.

The Justice Department’s criminal division has until July 7 to decide whether to seek dismissal of the 2021 charges against Boeing, extend the probationary term by up to one year, or find the company in breach of the settlement. Such a finding could reactivate the prosecution.
