"DOJ Launches Criminal Probe into Alaska Airlines Midair Incident"

An Alaska Airlines flight from Los Cabos, Mexico, was found with its cargo door ajar upon landing in Portland, with the airline stating that the door likely opened after landing. The aircraft was inspected and cleared to fly after a spring in the door handle was replaced. This incident comes after another Alaska Airlines flight made an emergency landing in Portland due to strong fumes in the cabin, adding to the airline's recent string of flight issues, including a mid-flight fuselage tear in January that led to lawsuits seeking $1 billion in damages.
