Boeing admits debris found inside fuel tanks of 737 MAX planes is 'unacceptable'

Boeing says it has immediately made corrections to its production system after the debris was found during maintenance on the parked planes.Mark Jenks said in a memo to employees who work on the 737:"During these challenging times, our customers and the flying public are counting on us to do our best work each and every day."A Boeing spokesperson says the company still believes the FAA will certify the plane to fly again in the summer.

The company is conducting a voluntary inspection of its undelivered MAX planes, and the FAA says it has"increased its surveillance based on initial inspection reports and will take further action based on the findings".Boeing is conducting test flights to assess updates to a flight-control system that has been blamed for the two crashes.

Although investigators looking into the accidents have not pointed to production problems at the assembly plant near Seattle, the company has faced concerns about debris left in other finished planes, including the 787 Dreamliner, which is built in South Carolina. There is a risk of electrical short-circuiting and fires if tools, metal shavings and other objects are left in planes during assembly.

Duh! No crap it's unacceptable! It's a safety hazard!!!

Oh my god .What a shame

More reason to ban this aircraft

Give the 737 max another year before ✈️
