Maintenance crews found the concerning damage on the Boeing 737 MAX 8 during a post-flight inspection.


quote:

The flight had just landed in Miami after travelling on a regional circuit between Florida and Colombia.

Located in the aircraft’s wing assembly, the total amount of bullet holes found has not been revealed.


quote:

Crews noticed puncture marks on the right aileron, which is a critical control surface responsible for the aircraft’s roll and lateral balance.

The origins of the gunfire are still being investigated, however the location and pattern of the punctures strongly suggest ballistic impact.

My outlaw cousin spent 18 months in the pen for pointing a rifle at a national guard weed patrol helicopter. I don't think he actually pulled the trigger though.
