iPhone survives 16,000-foot fall after door plug blows off Alaska Air flight 1282
The pilot who dealt with that emergency on the AK Air flight in which a piece of fuselage fell out in midair and in which everyone miraculously survived and that Boeing has planes worldwide grounded over was … a woman. Everyone should listen to the audio of how calm she was.

Nothing like being a mom to strengthen those unflappable patience muscles
United Airlines spent less than a day inspecting their 170+ fleet of 737 MAX 9s and already found a list of installation issues with the false door / plug.
“The NTSB chief revealed that Alaska Airlines had blocked the plane from being used on flights to and from Hawaii because of a warning light that had come on at least three times, possibly indicating a pressurization problem on the aircraft.
The warning light had turned on during flights on Dec. 7, Jan. 3 and Jan. 4, and each time, maintenance crews tested and then reset the light.”
I’m just a regular Joe, and a nobody.
But it is CRAZY to me that an aircraft can show several signs of problems and an airline keep the aircraft in service.
