iPhone survives 16,000ft fall from stricken Alaska Airlines plane

The depressurization forced the flight, headed for Ontario, California, to make an emergency landing in Oregon 35 minutes after takeoff. He had reached an altitude of about 16,000 ft (4,876 meters) when he was forced to begin his descent.

All 171 passengers and six crew members on board survived, with no serious injuries.

More than 170 Boeing 737 Max 9 models in the United States they stayed on the ground since the incident, in which phones, magazines and the shirt from the boy’s back were sucked out of the plane and into the night air.

Door stoppers are panels on the side of an airplane, and in some configurations they can be used as an emergency exit if there are a large number of passengers on board.

“We’re going to take this and make sure we start looking into it,” Ms Homendy said, but added that the cockpit voice recorder had been recorded.

“This is unfortunately a loss for us because this information is key, not only for our investigation, but for improving aviation security,” he said.

The UK Civil Aviation Authority has demanded that all planes of the same model be inspected before entering British airspace following the incident. The two seats next to the missing fuselage piece were unoccupied.

“We’re very, very lucky here that this didn’t end in something more tragic,” Ms Homendy said on Saturday.

Boeing has struggled in recent years with technical and quality control issues related to its 737 Max models. All models of the plane were grounded in the world after two Max 8 crashes in 2018 and 2019, in which 346 people were killed.

The Federal Aviation Administration approved the return of the planes to service only after the company made changes to its flight control system.
