TL;DR Summary

Passengers from Alaska Airlines Flight 1282 are suing Boeing after a door-like panel on its Boeing 737 Max 9 plane detached midflight, causing injuries and emotional trauma. The lawsuit, filed in a Seattle court, alleges physical and emotional consequences and points to Boeing CEO Dave Calhoun's admission of a mistake as the impetus for the proposed class-action suit. The incident prompted the FAA to ground some Boeing 737 Max 9 planes as it investigates, and both Alaska Airlines and United Airlines have found loose hardware in the same sections of the same type of aircraft in their fleets.
