The 737-800 had flown from San Francisco to Oregon without incident. The missing panel was subsequently noticed while the aircraft was on the ground, with images on social media indicating a torn-away panel located near the aircraft’s landing gear. The FAA has confirmed it will investigating how the panel detached.
