“He and his seat were pulled back and towards the exterior of the plane in the direction of the hole,” she said. “I reached over and grabbed his body and pulled him towards me over the armrest.” #Alaska1282 #Boeing737Max9 #HeroMom💞 https://www.seattletimes.com/business/boeing-aerospace/when-hole-opened-on-alaska-flight-1282-a-mom-held-tight-to-her-son/

Boeing’s Mid-Air Emergency Is Very Similar to 2011 Blowout
This was almost exactly a replica of what happened to Southwest Airlines Flight 812 from Phoenix, Arizona to Sacramento, California in April 2011. In that case the explosion caused a sudden hole in the roof of the cabin… https://www.thedailybeast.com/boeings-alaska-airlines-mid-air-emergency-very-similar-to-2011-southwest-airlines-blowout

Wondering how much that Alaska 1282 #Boeing 737-9 MAX door plug weighs. Presumably, if it landed in an inhabited area (Beaverton, Metzger, Lake Oswego?), it would have been all over the news. (Maybe it landed in a low-traffic area or woods (Forest Park?) - and will be discovered in daylight - or even a body of water.)
Also curious to know if any phone (in a rugged case?) survived 3-mile fall, might be located via Find feature.
