What was found

INSPECTION OF WINDOW EMERGENCY EXITS SHOULD COVER ALL 737 MAX AIRCRAFT, FROM THE -7 TO -10 AS THEIR AIRFRAMES HAD BEEN MANUFACTURED BY ONE OEM[SPIRIT] & BOEING'S FAL HAVE MISSED SOME SAFETY ISSUES. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT ALL MAX JETS HAVE IDENTICAL WINDOW EMERGENCY EXITS. ARE WE GOING TO ACT ONLY WHEN DISASTER STRIKES AGAIN ON THE OTHER MAX MODELS?
