Cuong Tran, a man who was aboard the Alaska Airlines plane that lost a door mid-flight, has recently recounted his terrifying experience on the Boeing aircraft.
On January 5, 2024, an Alaska Airlines flight from Portland, Oregon, to Ontario, California, had to do an emergency landing due to an uncontrolled decompression 16,000 ft above Portland.
The incident resulted in oxygen masks dropping from the ceiling of the Boeing 737-9 Max aircraft and one of the plane’s emergency exit doors flying off, leaving passengers close to a gaping hole.
