"Alaska Airlines Plane Emergency: Cockpit Recording Lost, Pressure Warning Light Triggered, and Boeing Shares Slide"
National Transportation Safety Board officials provided an update on the investigation into Alaska Airlines Flight 1282, revealing that the cockpit audio recording was lost and the aircraft had experienced three earlier warning light issues. The missing "plug door" was found, and investigators are examining the damage and impact of its loss. It was discovered that the "auto-depressurization" warning light had triggered on three previous flights, prompting Alaska Airlines to place the aircraft on a list of planes not cleared to fly to Hawaii until an additional maintenance check was performed. The flight data and cockpit voice recorder data were sent to the lab, but the recorder was set to be recorded over every two hours, hindering the capture of vital audio data.
