Original Note:
This incident occurred on August 22, 2022, and was caused by a failure to properly latch the engine cowl covers following maintenance, not a design flaw: https://onemileatatime.com/news/alaska-737-loses-engine-cowling/ This type of failure is rare, but occurred far more frequently on Airbus aircraft until the FAA required a redesign: https://www.adn.com/nation-world/2022/08/24/maintenance-error-likely-cause-of-engine-scare-on-alaska-airlines-737-with-182-people-aboard/
