The door plug for the fuselage of a Boeing 737 Max 9 fell off a few minutes after Alaska Airlines Flight 1282 took off from Portland International Airport on Jan. 5, depressurizing the cabin and exposing passengers to open air thousands of feet above the ground, according to the National Transportation Safety Board. No one was seriously injured and the plane made an emergency landing safely.

Four passengers are suing Alaska Airlines and Boeing for the “terror" they experienced according to complaints made on Tuesday. The reason they are suing is because of cited injuries of intense fear, distress, anxiety, trauma, and physical pain This event may change people's perspective on taking Alaska Airlines to travel, or even flying in general due to this scary event. Potential consequences of the event could've been worse, such as passengers getting seriously hurt.

We have yet to see the full after-effects and there is a possibility that Alaska Airlines may suffer financially after the fact due to suspicion of their aircrafts. Some passengers also sent "what they thought would be their final text messages in this world," according to Seattle attorney Mark Lindquist, who filed the complaint on behalf of the four passengers. Alaska Airlines grounded its Max 9 fleet shortly after the incident occurred. In response to the lawsuit, Alaska Airlines said it cannot comment on pending litigation. Boeing has yet to comment on the lawsuit.
