Following today's findings, Japan's Transport Ministry ordered three Japanese airlines that own Boeing 737-800s to inspect the leading edge slats on the main wings to ensure bolts are in place before their first flight takes off Friday morning, said ministry spokesman Yusuke Asakura
could a bolt detaching from the plane itself gain sufficient kinetic energy to actually make a hole in the fuel tank ? Sounds odd...
