...and glad that everyone else is OK and it痴 just a cowling, but SERIOUSLY, a 737 for six passengers?

Same airport that the 737 had a midair impact with a salmon. Does that mean Alaska will make a bear livery for a 737?

I thought all 737s (after the -200 series with the straight -8s) had damaged cowlings!

Yes. They get squished flat on the first hard landing that bottoms out the oleos.
