A United Airlines jet cut short a flight Wednesday and landed in Tampa, Florida, after pilots were alerted about a possible issue with a door, according to an airport spokesperson. Last week, a plug that takes the place of a door on some Boeing Max 9 jetliners blew off an Alaska Airlines plane shortly after takeoff from Portland, Oregon. An spokesperson for the Tampa airport said the initial report to emergency dispatchers was that the plane diverted because a door indicator light turned on.
The picture is a Boeing.
And this would never be a headline if not for the other story.
I don’t think the average person can identify the difference between a Boeing or an Airbus. It’s clearly a stock photo and isn’t meant to represent the actual plane from the story, either way.
“Bad reporting” I’d agree with, but “clickbait” not so much.
That’s like reporting on Teslas catching fire after a bender but using a photo of a Jeep Wrangler. They’re 2 entirely separate aircraft and should be treated as such.
I’m pretty sure the average person can tell the difference between a Tesla and a Jeep, though.
It doesn’t matter, anyway. It’s not a part of the story.
