The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating after an Alaska Airlines plane blew out a portion of its fuselage while in the air late Friday, forcing an emergency landing in Oregon. On Saturday, federal officials ordered the immediate grounding of some Boeing 737 Max 9 jetliners in light of the incident, which was ruled an accident by the NTSB.

This is the white Kamala Harris. Just waiting for the cackle.
The NTSB is incompetent.
Why are her cheeks and eyes so dark?
Never trusted Alaskan Airlines so not surprised about this accident.
Boeing really has to improve. No one could ever imagine this happening at cruising altitude when many passengers have their seatbelts off and passengers using the restroom. Thank god that everyone was safe and no passenger was sucked out the plane.
Kudos to the crew on Alaska Airlines flight 1282. The lead of the NTSB, she was very well said on how she described the incident.
It's wild the chair of the NTSB is a woman; however well spoken she is. What times we live.
This is clearly an incident, how can you call it an accident prior to the investigation? I smell cover up to keep people flying.
The factory workers are suspect and inspectors
Well all planes with that dummy door in place instead of an actual emergency exit need to be grounded pending inspection… It would be good to know what Boing managers are doing with all the investment that the American government makes year after year to keep them afloat.
Weird on a full flight of 177passof 178 seats this was the only empty seat
My Kudos for the Crew of Alaska Air they acted very professional and handled then emergency calm and landed safely they earn my respect .This is thanks to the severe training they undergo constantly.Especially during a critical time which is take off . Well done job.
Why are the news media getting there facts wrong, over this mid air accident, the fuselage did not blow out.
What happened here, is where there is a emergency door exit hatchway opening in the rear fuselage side, this Boeing 737-9 Max passenger aircraft, does not require an emergency door exit hatchway at this location.
However the standard Boeing 737-9 passenger aircraft still comes with all the emergency door exit hatchways, even if they are not needed for passenger and crew use.
So instead of a standard emergency door exit pressurised hatch being installed, a pressurised non-opening plug section is installed in the hatchway opening.
Then on the internal side of the fuselage, this pressurised non0opening plug section, is covered over with standard internal passenger fuselage interior panels, so it looks like the rest of the passenger compartment.
So in place of the door exit hatch blowing out, what happen was a plug section blow out along with taking some internal fuselage panels and window, plus maybe a unoccupied passenger seat too.
There is a big difference, from what some in the news media are saying and claiming, on television and radio news programmes, or in newspapers too
Has this missing exit door or plug and missing internal fuselage panels and window etc, actually been found somewhere under this Boeing 737-9 Max passenger aircraft short take-off and climbing flight path?
As this missing exit door and missing internal fuselage panels plus a window too, must have come down somewhere?
There are some who are saying even one unoccupied passenger seat blow out too, which appears to be missing too, so this passenger seat must have landed or impacted on the ground somewhere or has hit something too?
Maybe a house or other kind of building, or has impacted in some field or woodland, or on some roadway or country track etc?
Or is it possible this missing exit door and missing internal fuselage panels and window plus maybe one passenger seat that is said to be missing too.
With all this being blow out of the Boeing 737-9 Max fuselage, for whatever reason?
They still has come down somewhere, maybe even in water, either a river, or lake, or stream and/or pond etc, that is somewhere under this Boeing 737-9 Max passenger aircraft flight path?
Is there even a search on the ground being carried out for this missing exit door, or the missing internal fuselage panels and window, plus maybe for one passenger seat that is said to be missing too?
I want to die peacefully in my sleep like my grandfather, not screaming in terror like his passengers.

For a while there were stories of attempted persons tried to open airplane doors, but this one is an accident. Or a ghost? Jk
Well they are lucky they were not at 30.000 feet or people and there seats would have been sucked out.
Well all planes with that dummy door in place instead of an actual emergency exit need to be grounded pending inspection… could easily have sucked the nearest 4 people out. Especially had it depressurised at at 32000 feet when the seat belts light had gone off. π§
