FBI Informs Passengers of Alaska Airlines Flight that Had a Panel Blowout Midair Might be ‘Victims of a Crime’
Passengers aboard an Alaska Airlines flight that experienced a panel blowout midair may have been exposed to criminal activity, according to a letter from the FBI.
CBS News has obtained a copy of the correspondence, which reveals the ongoing investigation into the harrowing incident aboard Flight No. 1282.
The Gateway Pundit previously reported that Alaska flight 1282, a Boeing 737-9 MAX bound for Ontario, California, departed Portland, Oregon, just after 5 pm Pacific time earlier this year 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.
