Passengers Sue Alaska Airlines and Boeing for $1 Billion Over Mid-Air Blowout

Three passengers on Alaska Airlines Flight 1282, where a door plug blew out mid-flight, are suing the airline and Boeing for $1 billion, alleging negligence. The lawsuit claims severe mental, emotional, and physical injuries, including post-traumatic stress, due to the incident. The NTSB found missing bolts from the aircraft, prompting inspections and a temporary global grounding of all Boeing 737 Max 9 jets. Another class-action lawsuit has been filed against Boeing by passengers, alleging physical and emotional trauma.
