00:00The FAA is calling for inspections of 453 Boeing 737 MAX 8 and MAX 9 aircraft
00:06after discovering some passenger seats may not have been installed correctly.
00:12Regulators warn the improperly secured seats could detach during severe turbulence or an
00:17emergency landing, creating safety hazards and potentially blocking evacuations.
00:22Boeing says it supports the inspections, which are expected to cost U.S. airlines an estimated
00:27$2.7 million, excluding any needed repairs.
00:31The directive marks another round of heightened scrutiny for the aircraft as federal regulators
00:36continue to closely monitor Boeing's manufacturing quality.
