The previous week saw a Boeing 737 Max 9 executing an emergency landing in the state of Oregon, USA, as its emergency exit door became detached shortly after takeoff.
A viral video captured the dramatic incident, prompting regulatory authorities to conduct inspections on all Boeing aircraft of the same model.
A passenger plane from Alaska Airlines conducted an emergency landing at Portland Airport, completing the entire flight in just 35 minutes. Moments after takeoff, the emergency door became detached, causing panic among the passengers.
The plane accommodated 171 passengers and 6 crew members, with online platforms quickly inundated by videos capturing the unfolding drama inside the aircraft. Within, oxygen masks dangled from the ceiling, and a substantial gap replaced the usual emergency door panel.
Boeing, the American aircraft manufacturer, accepted complete responsibility for the incident, simultaneously committing to transparently providing all necessary data for the investigation. Witness the footage of the Boeing 737 Max 9, capturing the moment when the emergency exit door was torn off shortly after takeoff.
