Accidents are occurring one after another on American Boeing aircraft.
Following the absurd accident in which the cabin wall was torn off during the flight, this time an accident occurred in which the engine caught fire.
Fortunately, there were no casualties as it was a cargo plane without passengers, but concerns are growing about the safety of the Boeing aircraft.
Correspondent Kang Na-rim reports from New York.

″Please, I need to be okay. I don’t know if they are responding to an emergency.″
″No, it’s still like that.″
On the 18th local time, a Boeing 747 cargo plane operated by Atlas Airlines caught fire in the engine immediately after takeoff in Miami, Florida, USA.
″Mayday, mayday, engine fire.″
The plane heading to Puerto Rico ended up making an emergency landing at Miami Airport.
Because it was a cargo plane, there were no ordinary passengers and five crew members were on board, but fortunately there were no injuries.
A Federal Aviation Administration investigation found a tennis ball-sized hole above the second of the plane’s four engines.
Just three days ago, an oxygen leak was detected on the Boeing 737 military aircraft carrying U.S. Secretary of State Tony Blinken, and the minister’s group had to disembark and take another flight.
In Japan, a crack was discovered in the cockpit window of a Boeing 737 airliner and the plane was diverted, while a Boeing 737 Max 9 aircraft had a cabin wall torn off mid-flight, causing passengers to tremble in fear.

“If this had happened at a higher altitude, if people had not been wearing seatbelts, the passengers would have been thrown out of the plane and killed. It was just luck that no one died.″
U.S. aviation authorities have ordered emergency inspections and an indefinite flight ban for 171 Boeing 737 Max 9 aircraft and are reviewing whether to resume operations.
Boeing promised to strengthen the quality control of its passenger planes, claiming that it was responsible for the hole-in-the-air accident, but as accidents continued to occur, concerns about the safety of Boeing planes are not going away.
