Alaska Airlines plane door blows out mid-air
Federal investigators released their first image from inside the Alaska Airlines aircraft that had a refrigerator-sized hole blown off mid-flight, and it shows a headrest torn from a nearby seat and oxygen masks still hanging from the plane’s ceiling.
The photo was released as investigators continue to search for the missing piece of the aircraft’s fuselage that blew off after it took off from Portland, leading to the nationwide grounding of certain Boeing 737 MAX 9 aircraft and a slew of flight cancellations.
No passengers during the Friday flight were seated directly next to the section of the plane that blew off, NTSB Chair Jennifer Homendy said Saturday.
