The FBI has informed passengers of an Alaska Airlines flight that experienced a midair panel blowout that they may be "victims of a crime," as the Justice Department initiates a criminal probe into the incident. The plane, en route from Portland, Oregon, to Ontario, California, had to make an emergency landing after a door plug blew off mid-flight, leading to a lawsuit against Alaska Airlines and Boeing. The FBI letter, obtained by CBS News, stated that a "large number of potential victims" are involved, and the Justice Department's investigation is ongoing.
