Some one pulled emergency door handle. That just didn't fly off. That's not ripped off. No jagged metal.
Alaska Airlines…what a surprise, probably back at cutting corners on inspections and maintenance,…seeing how far they can get before the next crash
Boeing state safety will now be top priority so they will be providing parachute on exit row seat…
Made in China
time after time Boeing keeps selling death traps in the air, the Ford Pinto of airplanes. thankful everyone lived and is safe.
At this point with all the sky line mishaps next time I fly I'm wearing my parachute till I'm at my destination 😁✌️🙏
That poor child who’s shirt was ripped off, will be slow to fly ever again. And his mother must have been holding on to him for dear life. Must have been terrifying.
I couldn’t imagine. 😢
Another 737 problem AGAIN!
What blew out was the plug to cover the extra hole in the left rear of the 737 Max 9 for another door. The Max 9 can be configured for long haul flights by removing some seats and installing another rear door for extra food carts to move on to the plane faster; on shorter flights you have more seats and less food to carry.
There was no "sheer panic"
Safety first, always! 🛬 What are your thoughts on airline safety and the measures taken in situations like these?
It's a plug that fills in what would be an emergency door on higher capacity passenger configurations. From the inside it looks like a regular window and you can sit right beside it. It is held in by four bolts. How this could happen is mind-boggling. This plane was brand new.
I wonder if any of those passengers will get a bad flu do to this incident and die
That's fine
Don’t fly Boing 737 Max and save ur lives!
737 Max is a flying turd that should never fly in any country on earth ever again.
-pilot
Somebody pass me the toilet roll please.
Thank God everyone is safe 😇🙏🏽 🙏🏽🙏🏽
I can't even imagine how scared they were, personally I probably would have had a heart attack.
Basically a lack of proper maintenance! Good old improper maintenance! Great corporations lacking oversight!!
Alaskan Airlines is risking peoples's lifes by putting back this Plane back in service. I'm reading news about other responsible airlines grounding all their 737 Max 9 planes until they are all inspected and FAA investigation is over. Why isn't Alaskan Airlines taking the steps to prevent a similar incident?? I wouldn't fly with Alaskan , period ! No one should .
I was thinking there were loose bolts or screws not attached properly
Hi I am a Bangladeshi boy🇧🇩 of 19 years I wanted to vote but when I went to the polling station I saw that my vote was given and I left with a lot of sadness.😢😢
Yikes
Where did it falll?
Thank God no one was hurt or worse. Great work by the crew and Bravo to the passengers.
Ain't nobody got time for dat!
Technically and material failure thank god every one is safe great job done by air crew ( pilots)
That's y you should always be strapped in at all times if you can
What grade/type/size, etc. of fastener was used. Every mounting point is intact, EVERY fastener is GONE.
There was a plane years ago that had windshields fasted from the outside, and a supervisor finished the replacement job, with screws too small for the holes by just a little. They guy had bad eyesight. A pilot was sucked halfway out, feet were caught on levers, and crew held onto him, but he took a high-altitude-beating, against the plane, but lived to tell about it.
God is REAL
Vote ViVek Ramaswamy for US President 2024
He speaks the TRUTH
This is the best coverage of the AK plane! Thank you, hope all is well 🙏❤
I hope that kid is also okay. That's a lot for a kid.
If it’s Boeing, I ain’t going 😅
Thank you, Lord Jesus Christ, for saving them.
What the heck is a plug door & why is it there??!?
This looks and sounds so horrifying! I'm glad everyone was okay…
Boeing tech explains this door / plug. Complete with Boeing literature, photos, and diagrams. https://youtu.be/nw4eQGAmXQ0?si=vCBG13rFtMtHRp5-
ALV.. hope everyone is better
Plug door fear unlocked.
Wow!
Nope, nope, nope.
I don't care how much "safer" air flight is over automobile accident rates, statistically–you have way too much time to scream and let your imagination run wild, whenever things go horribly wrong in airplanes.
At least in car accidents, you often barely got time to scream. Would rather take my chances there than Life Bingo dishing me out a scenario like this one (or worse). 😅
Thankfully, nobody was seriouslu harmed or killed here in this freak occurrence.
The air plane drama these days is just getting absolutely ridiculous 🙄 !!!
It ripped a kids shirt off….. Bill Clinton might as well been on board.
I used to love to sit by the window…not sure anymore😒🤔
China made Airplane is more safe.
