Apparently the folks who were scheduled to be seated right next to the emergency door missed the flight. If the had their seatbelts off they could have very well been sucked out of the cabin.
Even with the seat belt on, anyone next to the gap might still get sucked out. Passengers only have a lap belt unlike the proper harness the pilots wear

The door structure is modified so the sidewall does not infringe into the interior and a row of standard seats can be installed. A full-sized window is also installed. Boeing warns that future activation of the mid-cabin emergency exit doors will involve significant cost and therefor to consider retaining the baseline configuration with deactivated mid-cabin exit doors if future activation of the mid-cabin exit doors is required.
cutting corners to cut down on the price might be the issue. How much does a Boeing 737 cost today? In 2019, Moody's had estimated Boeing's operating margin to be US$12-15 million for each 737 MAX 8 at its list price of $121.6 million (~$138 million in 2022), although the list price is usually discounted 50-55% in practice.
I remember a documentary done by Aljeezeera news years ago stating the low saftey standards in Boeing after that only all these incidents started to happen...
The Boeing plane was torn into pieces in mid-air. On the other hand, the Airbus hit a plane a third of its size in Japan, but it was still able to land safely with all its passengers with just minor injuries.
And it took forever for the whole plane to even burn, far exceeding the expectations people had for the composite materials used, interesting experiment as this was the first A350 hull loss ever & it did better than expected

This is the Captain speaking as you may have noticed we have a hole in the plane, don't worry this completely normal and your in safe hands as I flew A10s missing a wing an engine a further distance than the where will land- is what I would say
I flew to Seattle in Dec 2023 with Alaska Airlines. The people who allow this airplane to fly must go to prison for putting a lot of people’s life in danger! I won’t fly Alaska anymore!
But the depressurization alarm got off three times before just the week before and was also checked and reset three times and the plane was forbidden by Alaska Airlines to fly oversees to Hawaii if the depressurization alarm would go off again....Hey Alaska Airlines, this plane if from October 2023, should it not have been flown to Boeing for a problem check... Well, if they would have, Boeing would never in their wildest dreams thought that the plugged door would be ripped of the plane.
I am very sad for the Boeing organisation. Such an esteemed company with great employees ruined by inept management. Our American friends need to fix Boeing ASAP otherwise they will lose this industrial gem and this would not be good for anyone. Even for Airbus here is Europe a collapse of Boeing would be negative
Corporations are quick to react when things go bad in America, immediately grounding all planes but when Boeing crashed in 2 developing countries, you gaslight them that it was human error. SHAME ON YOU.
wing is hard to takeoff with a lil door thats behind the wing with nothing to propel it forward, if it takes an engine which is same logic as wing wouldn’t be bad but would make landing harder, tail is very possible and they would have been screwed.
I was on this flight and I thought I was gonna die so I texted a bunch of people I hated telling them a piece of my mind. Man do I regret sending those text after we landed safely.
Whats even crazier to me is how Boeing has managed to twist the narrative when issues have popped off in in other countries. This was an American carrier on American soil. Completely unacceptable. Im starting to second guess my trips on a Boeing.
What is a lifetime of trauma worth? Everyone on that flight will suffer trauma every time the need to fly for business, Xmas, ect. For those whose business relies on flying they may end up loosing a high paying job because they simply cannot step onto anouther airplane without immense suffering and panic attacks.
Well I guess we'll see a new law that mandates all commercial flights use one privatized for-profit safety inspection company. How do you drive up the barrier to entry, reduce your competition, and increase the cost of your service?
Why isnt anyone talking about the passenger sitting next to the door that exploded? So she is OK, Great! BUT did she stay in her seat? Did she have to stay in her seat? What would you do.... just keeping sitting there, "like yeah this is fine". Dangle your feet out the side a little & have a really good time/enjoy the view. Whats the protocol/social norm in this situation?
737 Max grounded again! Expect huge claim for loss of business from Alaska Airlines. No worries for Boeing because the American Government will sort that out by paying inflated prices for their military jets. Boeing would have collapsed long ago if it weren't for their military jets division.
This is Great, a person with no aviation backround is the Head of the NTSB, only in America folks😪and the FAA is awesome allowing the Mouse to guard the cheese (Boeing) this is just the tip of the Iceberg.
Boeing just keeps digging itself in deeper with reputational damage. Meanwhile an entire airbus plane was engulfed in flames, managed to land safely, and then evacuate all passengers without injury.
This is incident are "extremely rare". Perhaps to most aircraft. But it certainly not rare to a Boeing 737 Max, who's very familiar with disaster result.
This video is horrible! Are you using a travel reporter to comment on aviation safety? The first thing she says is "We know these airplanes are designed to withstand depressurization." She then follows that up by saying "if this had happened at a higher cruising altitude it would have been a very different story." Does she realize those are contradictory? Yes, it would have been a very different story if it had played out at a higher altitude but the plane would have been structurally fine, the passenger experience would have been much more dramatic and injurious though. I'm sorry but just because you are a travel reporter you have no business commenting on this incident. Where is the message that talks about this being a testimony to the safety systems in aviation? The reality in America is that any person who steps foot into an airport, and beyond, is in the safest environment in this country. As a pilot, I am constantly appalled at the coverage of aviation. It seems one of two things is happening: One, the media is too lazy to find an expert, or two, they are just creating clickbait journalism. The WSJ should be doing neither of these two things.
Center ATC took wayyyyyyyyy too much time giving them the return turn back to Portland. That controller likely bought a deal and will be retrained. The fact that no one got sucked out of the plane except iPhones is sheer LUCK! Why you ALWAYS KEEP SEATBELT ON ESPECIALLY FROM 10000-20000 as the aircraft pressurization system begins working. Boeing lucked out on this one if there was just a single fatality their stock and company would be toast. Glad the FAA did the right thing quickly grounding this obviously rushed hodgepodge of engineers to get back to safety basics. Smh.

So Fight Club eventually ended up being correct.
Fola, they will show you shege . be careful , Abeg.
Nice
What is a lifetime of trauma worth? Everyone on that flight will suffer trauma every time the need to fly for business, Xmas, ect. For those whose business relies on flying they may end up loosing a high paying job because they simply cannot step onto anouther airplane without immense suffering and panic attacks.
I'm taking the car from now on. I'm good. I love road trips 😁
Randpm but why was almost every passenger I've seen thus far on the flight asian?
Expect airlines to start charging premium for isle seats
Alaska: which class do you prefer economy, business or convertible? 😁
Diversity mechanics…
Well I guess we'll see a new law that mandates all commercial flights use one privatized for-profit safety inspection company. How do you drive up the barrier to entry, reduce your competition, and increase the cost of your service?
Why isnt anyone talking about the passenger sitting next to the door that exploded? So she is OK, Great! BUT did she stay in her seat? Did she have to stay in her seat? What would you do.... just keeping sitting there, "like yeah this is fine". Dangle your feet out the side a little & have a really good time/enjoy the view. Whats the protocol/social norm in this situation?
I would file a class action lawsuit
Anyone here came from the the News short about the iPhone that was found after this happened: 👋
Why do they "plug" the door, so they can fit more passengers? Would of thought having another usable door/exit would be beneficial in emergencies.
There was an emergency, the door opened. Where is the problem?
Your next vacation will blow the doors off (too soon?)
Nailed it
Maddening
Man is it still safe to fly on Alaska!?
Did they go back and get the boy’s phone? 😂
That phone was found too
$1500? Thats not going to pay for much therapy.
So that iPhone has been found is the next story to be covered.
I hate when you lose your phone like that.
737 Max grounded again! Expect huge claim for loss of business from Alaska Airlines. No worries for Boeing because the American Government will sort that out by paying inflated prices for their military jets. Boeing would have collapsed long ago if it weren't for their military jets division.
I am flying to Florida next month on max 9 . And from Pdx non stop flight
....and i have to fly Alaska Airlines next week 😬
Boeing needs to be shut down entirely.
This is Great, a person with no aviation backround is the Head of the NTSB, only in America folks😪and the FAA is awesome allowing the Mouse to guard the cheese (Boeing) this is just the tip of the Iceberg.
Design flaw found. By normal use. Perhaps now the phrase doorbuster sale will stop being used by marketing.
Boeing just keeps digging itself in deeper with reputational damage. Meanwhile an entire airbus plane was engulfed in flames, managed to land safely, and then evacuate all passengers without injury.
Things are falling apart in Portland, Oregon. Paint me surprised.
Boeing 737: the older it gets the better it used to fly.
Rip to that kids phone
This is incident are "extremely rare".
Perhaps to most aircraft. But it certainly not rare to a Boeing 737 Max, who's very familiar with disaster result.
This video is horrible! Are you using a travel reporter to comment on aviation safety? The first thing she says is "We know these airplanes are designed to withstand depressurization." She then follows that up by saying "if this had happened at a higher cruising altitude it would have been a very different story." Does she realize those are contradictory? Yes, it would have been a very different story if it had played out at a higher altitude but the plane would have been structurally fine, the passenger experience would have been much more dramatic and injurious though. I'm sorry but just because you are a travel reporter you have no business commenting on this incident.
Where is the message that talks about this being a testimony to the safety systems in aviation? The reality in America is that any person who steps foot into an airport, and beyond, is in the safest environment in this country.
As a pilot, I am constantly appalled at the coverage of aviation. It seems one of two things is happening: One, the media is too lazy to find an expert, or two, they are just creating clickbait journalism. The WSJ should be doing neither of these two things.
If it’s Boeing I ain’t going 😂
The McDonnell Douglas company and their door is haunting them even after their merger with Boeing 😂
Center ATC took wayyyyyyyyy too much time giving them the return turn back to Portland. That controller likely bought a deal and will be retrained. The fact that no one got sucked out of the plane except iPhones is sheer LUCK! Why you ALWAYS KEEP SEATBELT ON ESPECIALLY FROM 10000-20000 as the aircraft pressurization system begins working. Boeing lucked out on this one if there was just a single fatality their stock and company would be toast. Glad the FAA did the right thing quickly grounding this obviously rushed hodgepodge of engineers to get back to safety basics. Smh.
Diversity hiring is really starting to pay off.
💀
So nobody got sucked out on the row of that door? Amazing. They must have still had their seatbelts on from take off.
Incident happened at fairly low altitude of 16.000 ft. This is the saving grace.
The two seats closest to the spot were incidentally not occupied...
When plane feels like 🚆🚆
inside was wsj again travelling for free then how will boeing make good aircrafts?
Wow this particular aircraft has been grounded. Amazing. What a bold decision. And totally unexpected 😂
Good morning
“Many loose bolts were found” Alaska Airlines
