NTSB to determine probable cause of Boeing 737 door plug blowout Tuesday

On January 4, 2024, a door plug blew out on a Boeing 737 Max at more than 16,000 feet in the air, leaving a gaping hole in the side. On Tuesday, the National Transportation Safety Board will hear the investigation's findings and vote on the probable cause of the incident was. The findings could put to rest one of the biggest questions around the terrifying incident: Who is to blame? The hearing comes at a fraught time for Boeing, as well, which is now the focus of the fatal crash of a 787 Dreamliner operated by Air India this month. While there is no indication yet that Boeing's work caused the crash of the nearly 11-year-old plane, confidence in Boeing could suffer further unless it is cleared as the cause. And after two fatal 737 Max crashes in 2018 and 2019, respectively, were traced back to design and software errors, and the Alaska Air door plug incident was caused by the jet being delivered to the airline by the embattled aircraft maker without the four bolts needed to hold it in place, Boeing had little reputation left to lose. In the January 2024 door plug blowout, passengers' clothing and phones were ripped away and sent hurtling out of the plane, and the missing piece from Alaska Air flight 1282 was later found in an Oregon backyard. Through a combination of crew skill and luck, with no one seated next to the hole, it could easily have turned into a tragedy. In the NTSB's preliminary findings, it was revealed that four bolts that hold the door plug in place on the Boeing 737 Max were missing at the time of the plane's delivery to Alaska Air in October 2023. The plane made 153 flights over 10 weeks before the incident, including 22 flights between Hawaii and the mainland. Had the incident occurred over the Pacific at 35,000 feet rather than minutes after taking off from Portland airport, it could have led to the loss of the plane. What has not been revealed is who exactly was responsible for leaving the bolts off the door plug during the manufacturing process. Boeing revealed there was no internal paperwork showing that the door plug had been removed and then put back in place without the bolts, so workers who were moving the plane along the production line were not aware it needed to have the bolts reattached. The NTSB already held a fact finding hearing into the incident in August, where it revealed interviews with Boeing employees who said they felt pressure to work too fast to avoid mistakes. A Boeing employee, identified as a Door Master Lead, told investigators that much of the assembly work needed to be redone because of the later discovery of problems, as happened with the door plug that was removed to fix some rivets. The worker said there was no special training to open, close or remove a door plug versus a regular door. The worker's team was 'put in uncharted waters to where… we were replacing doors like we were replacing our underwear.' As a result of the incident the Federal Aviation Administration announced additional oversight of Boeing and limits on its production levels. The aircraft maker only recently returned to the production level for the 737 Max that it planned ahead of the incident. Boeing said it has taken its own steps to improve the quality and safety of its planes, and it replaced the CEO at the time of the incident, Dave Calhoun. And last month the Justice Department dropped criminal charges it had planned against Boeing for defrauding the FAA during the certification process for the Max ahead of two fatal crashes in 2018 and 2019. The complete final report on the Alaska Air incident from the NTSB will be available in a few weeks.

By most accounts, the company's robotaxi launch in Austin yesterday went off without a hitch.

But you knew something was going to happen, and that something turned out to be a robotaxi briefly driving in the opposite lane of traffic. Not a good look.

Worksport Reports Consecutive Months of Record-Breaking Revenues, Gross Margin Improves by 25%

Company Reports All-Time-High Revenue in May 2025 (Following Record April 2025 Sales) as Gross Margins Rise 25% from Q1 2025 Levels; Growth Momentum Expected to Continue West Seneca, New York, June 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Worksport Ltd. (NASDAQ: WKSP) ('Worksport' or the 'Company'), a U.S. based manufacturer and innovator of hybrid and clean energy solutions for the light truck, overlanding, and global consumer goods sectors, today announced that May 2025 sales reached $1.28 million, marking the Company's second consecutive month of record-breaking revenue (non-audited). Gross Margins continue to improve notably, as Worksport's Made-in-USA cover line continues to gain significant traction. Worksport's April and May 2025 revenues alone have surpassed total Q1 2025 revenue, signaling strong momentum entering the second half of the year. Gross Margin Expansion: May gross margins improved 25% over Q1 2025 levels, bringing margins closer to 23%, driven by the Company's focus on higher-value branded products and greater operational efficiency at its New York manufacturing facility, where products use over 90% domestic content. Management projects gross margins to trend toward 30% by year-end, reflecting expected scale benefits and continued cost optimizations. Company expects cash-flow positivity to be achieved towards year-end. Distribution Network and Growth Outlook: Worksport's active dealer network has expanded from 94 in Q4 2024 to over 550 today, including two major national distributors added this spring. Management expects June 2025 to deliver another strong month as two recently onboarded national distributors ramp up ordering. Steven Rossi, CEO of Worksport Ltd., commented: 'The month of May marks another record, reinforcing that our American-made tonneau covers and strategic B2B expansion are delivering real, repeatable results. We expect June 2025 to be even stronger as our newest national distributors ramp up orders. With our SOLIS and COR clean-tech products launching this fall, we believe 2025 will prove to be another breakout year that firmly sets Worksport on a path to long-term growth with a keen focus on strong EBITA.' 2025 Revenue and Profitability Outlook Building on revenue of $1.5 million in 2023 and $8.5 million in 2024, Worksport projects reaching approximately $20 million by year-end 2025 — a scale designed to deliver cash flow positivity and support sustained profitability. Notably, the Company's current market capitalization remains below this year's projected revenue, highlighting what management views as a meaningful investment opportunity. Further upside is expected with the anticipated fall 2025 launch of the SOLIS solar tonneau cover and COR portable nano-grid power system, targeting multi-billion-dollar clean energy and portable power markets. Management believes these high-margin, IP-protected products will accelerate significant consistent growth for the years ahead. For further information:Investor Relations, Worksport Ltd.
