The "stakes are high" in the investigation into the Alaska Airlines flight that was forced to make an emergency landing when a panel of the Boeing plane blew out midair, according to the chair of the National Transportation Safety Board.
Sunday was the first full day of the NTSB investigation into the incident on Friday.
"We will be looking at the entire chain of the events, from production to putting this plug in service to what happened to the history of this particular aircraft in flight and in service from the start to where we are today," Jennifer Homendy told NBC News on Sunday.
Sunday’s process has involved speaking with the flight crew, Homendy said, and the plane's so-called black boxes have been sent to Washington, D.C., for review.
In a message sent to employees Sunday, Boeing President and CEO Dave Calhoun said an all-employee meeting focused on safety would be held Tuesday. He also canceled a leadership summit that was set to take place on Monday and Tuesday so the company can focus its attention to the NTSB investigation.
