Passengers had a terrifying experience on Alaska Airlines Flight 1282 from Portland, OR (PDX) to Ontario, CA (ONT).  A door plugged in and not working broke away from the fuselage as the plane was in flight at 16.000 feet. This resulted in the opening of a large hole in a window non-exit row seat that was otherwise normal. The disputed seat, 26A, was empty then and still inside the aircraft.172 passengers and 6 crew members were on board. The door was essentially a cover for an emergency exit that was not being used.

Alaska Airlines examined and approved eighteen of its Boeing 737 Max 9 planes.

 However, Alaska said on Saturday night that those aircraft will stay grounded due to the FAA issuing an emergency airworthiness directive that ordered an estimated 171 of the aircraft to be grounded pending inspections with precise restrictions.

@avgeekjake Snippet of ATC audio from the incident involving Alaska 1282 from Portland, OR (PDX) to Ontario, CA (ONT). See below for my synopsis: Alaska Airlines CEO Ben Minicucci announced Friday evening that the airline’s fleet of Boeing 737-9 MAXs would be grounded pending emergency maintenance inspections. This comes on the heels of an incident onboard Alaska Airlines Flight 1282 from Portland, OR (PDX) to Ontario, CA (ONT), where a plugged/inoperative door separated from the fuselage. This caused a massive hole to open in an otherwise normal window NON-EXIT ROW seat. The seat in question, 26A, remained inside the aircraft and was unoccupied at the time. A small child was seated in the adjacent seat and a portion of his clothing was ripped from his body and sucked out of the aircraft. No other injuries were reported among the 172 passengers and 6 crew members. The jet was passing through 16,300-ft when the explosive decompression occurred. This caused oxygen masks to fall and be worn by all onboard until the jet was below a breathable/comfortable altitude of 10,000-ft. The aircraft diverted back to Portland, OR. The aircraft, N701AL, was delivered new to the airline in October and began flying passengers December 7, 2023. The new aircraft had experienced two separate pressurization issues on flights the day prior to the incident on January 4. Both occurrences led Alaska Airlines to remove the aircraft from flying routes over water to Hawaii. The airline elected to leave the jet in service since both occurrences happened on the ground and at the time did not indicate an immediate danger to flight operations. The plugged door is found on all Boeing 737-9 MAX aircraft in the United States. The door appears to be a normal window seat since it is not an active door and cannot be opened without major modification to the aircraft. It is only used when airlines order the aircraft with the extra door configured for high capacity operations, unlike Alaska’s with 178 seats. LionAir Indonesia has 221 all economy seats on the same type of aircraft, leading them to use the extra door. #airline #planecrash #alaskaairlines #accident #aviation #alaska1282 #alaska #alaskaair ? original sound – AvgeekJake
