Passengers Sue Alaska Airlines and Boeing Over 737 MAX Mid-Air Blowout
Passengers from the Alaska Airlines flight that suffered a mid-air blowout have filed a lawsuit against both the airline and Boeing. The lawsuit alleges that the companies acted with negligence by putting a "ticking time bomb" of an aircraft into service. The incident involved a door plug detaching from a Boeing 737 MAX 9 shortly after takeoff from Portland, Oregon. Claimants are seeking compensation for injuries as well as the emotional trauma experienced during the terrifying event. This legal action adds to the mounting pressure on Boeing following the grounding and inspection of its 737 MAX 9 fleet.
