"3 Passengers File $1B Lawsuit Against Boeing and Alaska Airlines Over Flight 1282"

Three passengers from Alaska Airlines Flight 1282 have filed a $1 billion lawsuit against the airline and Boeing after a door plug blew out mid-flight on a Boeing 737 MAX 9 jet in January. The lawsuit alleges systemic problems at Boeing and includes emotional and physical injuries, such as severe stress, anxiety, trauma, and hearing damage. The National Transportation Safety Board found that missing bolts played a factor in the midair blowout, and the FAA grounded the Max 9 fleet for further investigation.
