FAA orders inspections of 737 Max jets after cracks found in older planes

The Federal Aviation Administration has ordered inspections for nearly 500 Boeing 737 Max jets within the United States. This regulatory action follows the discovery of cracks in the fuselage of some older model Boeing planes. Federal regulators are requiring these specific checks to ensure the structural integrity of the aircraft fleet after the issues were identified in previous models, aiming to address potential safety risks associated with fuselage cracking across the affected Boeing 737 Max aircraft.
