Alaska Airlines Flight 1282

Alaska Airlines Flight 1282 was a scheduled domestic passenger flight operated by Alaska Airlines from Portland International Airport in Portland, Oregon, to Ontario International Airport in Ontario, California. Shortly after takeoff on January5, 2024, a door plug on the Boeing 737 MAX 9 aircraft blew out, causing an uncontrolled decompression of the aircraft. The aircraft returned to Portland for an emergency landing. All 171 passengers and 6 crew members survived the accident, with three receiving minor injuries. According to the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) final report, the probable cause of the Alaska Airlines Flight 1282 door plug blowout was a systemic failure of Boeing's manufacturing process and the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) ineffective oversight. The in-flight separation was caused by four crucial bolts that were never reinstalled after being removed at the factory. Provided by Wikipedia
