Part Blown off Plane Mid-Air

Passengers on an Alaska Airlines flight experienced a terrifying incident when a part of the plane's fuselage blew off at 16,000 feet. The plane dropped in altitude, causing the oxygen masks to deploy, and passengers near row 26 witnessed a large hole in the side of the plane. Loose belongings were sucked out of the aircraft, and a 15-year old boy's shirt was ripped off by the force of the air. The pilot safely turned the plane around and made an emergency landing in Portland, Oregon. Fortunately, no serious injuries were reported.
