The National Transportation Safety Board believes bolts securing a door plug were missing on an Alaska Airlines flight that suffered midair blowout.A panel called a door plug blew off an Alaska Max 9 as it flew 3 miles above Oregon on Jan. 5. The blowout left a hole in the side of the plane, but pilots were able to return to Portland and land safely.The report included a photo from Boeing, which worked on the panel, which is called a door plug.
Then my body is sort of thrown forward, back again with a gust of wind. The oxygen masks fall, and, the pilot is on saying, 'this is an emergency. We've experienced decompression.' And he told us, ‘get your own mask on first before helping others,’" Kreps said.Kreps and her two young grandchildren were sitting in row 19, and the door plug blew out near row 26.
