Teacher finds missing door plug from Alaska Airlines flight that had mid-air blowout | US News<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The missing door plug that was torn off from an Alaska Airlines flight while in the air has been found by a school teacher in his garden.<\/p>\n
Pilots were forced to perform an emergency landing on Saturday after a hole was ripped into the side of the Boeing 737 Max 9 plane.<\/p>\n
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) says the door plug – where the hole was made – has now been recovered by a school teacher from Portland called Bob.<\/p>\n
The incident happened after pilots reported pressurisation warning lights on three earlier flights of the same jet model – one in December and two in January.<\/p>\n
There were also four unaccompanied minors on the flight, according to NTSB chair Jennifer Homendy, with “heroic” flight attendants ensuring they had their oxygen masks on.<\/p>\n
“They heard a bang,” Ms Homendy said of the flight crew.<\/p>\n
A quick-reference laminated checklist was sucked out of the hole, while the first officer lost her headset.<\/p>\n
“Communication was a serious issue… It was described as chaos.”<\/p>\n
