A horrifying scene unfolded Friday for nearly 200 people aboard a recently-certified Alaska Airlines plane from Oregon to California as the aircraft was forced to make an emergency landing after a large piece of the plane blew out mid-air.
As the Daily Mail reported, Alaska flight 1282, a Boeing 737-9 MAX bound for Ontario, California, departed Portland, Oregon just after 5 pm Pacific time on Friday when a deactivated emergency door used as a regular cabin window blew out at 16,000 feet. Six crew members and 171 passengers were aboard the jet.
An X/Twitter user discovered a recording of the female pilot frantically calling air traffic control after the plane section blew out.
