Passenger captures aftermath on Alaska Airlines as window blows out mid-flight TikTok: imsocorny \/ TikTok: vee_winsAn Alaska Airlines flight was forced to descend when a window blew out shortly after takeoff, the aftermath captured by passengers on board. Alaska Airlines is making headlines across the globe after Flight 1282 \u2014 a brand new 171 Boeing 737 Max 9 \u2014 was forced to make an emergency landing after a window and its accompanying cabin panel blew out. The incident occurred late Friday, January 5, shortly after the plane took off from Portland, Oregon on its way to Ontario, Canada. Vee, who goes by \u2018vee_wins\u2018 on TikTok, was on board at the time and filmed the harrowing aftermath as terrified passengers awaited descent. \u201cPOV: woke up from your plane nap thinking it was turbulence,\u201d Vee wrote, filming herself and other passengers wearing oxygen masks. The explosion as the panel blew out triggered rapid depressurization, resulting in supplemental oxygen being deployed as the plane made its way to a lower altitude to equalize cabin pressure. Vee\u2019s camera then revealed the large hole in the side of the plane where the panel and window blew off. \u201cTurns out the wall of the plane flew off while in the air.\u201d Another passenger, Courtney who goes by \u2018imsocorny\u2018, filmed her own experience on the flight, writing, \u201c10 minutes into our flight we heard a loud bang and the oxygen masks dropped down. I was in the front and we had no idea what was happening at first, just that the plane depressurized extremely fast.\u201d She went on to thank the pilots for their handling of the situation before stating, \u201cAlaska Airlines has some explaining to do.\u201d All 174 passengers and the six crew members were unharmed, with no one seated in the row where the panel blew out. In response to the incident, Alaska Airlines has since grounded the entirety of its Boeing 737-9 fleet pending further investigation. Boeing themselves have supported the decision to ground all flights, writing in an official statement, \u201cSafety is our top priority and we deeply regret the impact this event has had on our customers and their passengers. We agree with and fully support the FAA\u2019s decision to require immediate inspections of 737-9 airplanes with the same configuration as the affected airplane. \u201cIn addition, a Boeing technical team is supporting the NTSB\u2019s investigation into last night\u2019s event. We will remain in close contact with our regulator and customers.\u201d Be sure to check out all the latest entertainment news on our page here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
