The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) said Thursday that Boeing blatantly violated the agency’s investigative regulations as well as a signed agreement by providing non-public investigative information to the media and speculating about possible causes of the January 5 door plug blowout on a Boeing passenger jet in Portland, Oregon.
