US grounds Boeing 737 Max 9 jets after mid-air emergency | BBC News
The US airline regulator has ordered the grounding of some Boeing 737 Max 9 jets after a section of the fuselage fell off in mid-air during an Alaska Airlines flight. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said the inspections would affect 171 planes.
The Alaska Airlines flight from Portland, Oregon to Ontario, California, was carrying 177 passengers and crew. It had reached 16,000ft when the section of the hull fell away causing the depressurisation of the cabin. The aircraft made an emergency descent and landed safely back in Portland.
Images taken by people on the flight showed a large hole in the fuselage next to passenger seats. There were no reports of any injuries.

South Africa's shark spotters back in action as great whites return | BBC News
Great white sharks have been seen off the beaches in South Africa's coastal city of Cape Town for the first time in more than four years.
Some places, like coastal areas in South Africa's KwaZulu-Natal province, seek to tackle the danger by using nets and baited hooks to kill sharks, but this also harms other sea life, such as dolphins and turtles.
The International Union for Conservation of Nature has said it strongly encourages non-lethal approaches to addressing the risk from sharks.
In Cape Town, the approach aims to protect both sharks and people by keeping them apart.
