The Alaska Airlines Boeing 737 MAX 9, carrying 174 passengers and 6 crew members, departed Portland, Ontario. When it reached an altitude of about five thousand meters, a part of the fuselage and a seat suddenly flew out. The child, who was sitting nearby, had his shirt torn off, SHOT.ua reports.
The pilots reported a pressure problem and decided to return to the departure airport.
“The plane landed with a breeze, it was in the air for 20 minutes. No injuries were reported, and the passengers were wearing masks. The airline confirmed that an “incident” had occurred on their flight and said it was investigating the incident,” the statement said.
Earlier it was reported that a B-1B Lancer strategic bomber crashed in the United States.
We would also like to remind you that airplanes often break down in Russia, and often in flight. In response to the US and EU aviation sanctions that cut off Russia from the supply of spare parts and aircraft maintenance, Rosaviatsiya issued certificates of aircraft developers to airlines. This allowed the carriers to repair the aircraft on their own and disassemble some of them for spare parts to service others. However, airplane breakdowns have become more frequent.
