Passengers from a 1282 Alaska Airlines flight are suing Boeing after a door plug blew off a Boeing 737-MAX 9 in midair.
The aircraft’s left-side door plug detached on Jan. 5. This caused the cabin to depressurize before the airplane could make an emergency landing.
“The NTSB has yet to pinpoint the exact root cause of Flight 1282′s alarming decompression,” attorney Daniel Laurence said. “But given Boeing CEO Dave Calhoun’s forthright admission that this terrifying event was caused by Boeing’s ‘mistake,’ our passenger clients elected to file suit as soon as possible to seek fair compensation for their injuries.”
Laurence says the “nightmare experience” caused economic, physical, and ongoing emotional consequences for passengers on the flight.
This comes on the heels of the Federal Aviation Administration announcing an investigation into Boeing on Thursday.
