1. I hope ppl on the ground were ok

2. NOOOOOOOOO! PLEASE DON'T TAKE ME BACK TO PORTLAND!

3. Låt flygplanen kvarstå på marken😅😅😅

4. Whenever we Fly, we ask what equipment is being used if it's not published. 737 MAX is one we choose not to fly on. Will take an Airbus any day of the week Boeing screwed up the flying dynamics of the once wonderful 737 by adding more efficient engines to a design that wasnt compatible. They raised the engines because they sat too low. Then had to also raise the plane's height by doing modifications to the landing gear. This changed everything so they added software to nose down the plane. Killed lots of innocent passengers taking shortcuts. Shame on them.

5. Notice how nobody were SUCKED out of the plane like always happens in movies.

6. Thanks Obama !!

7. Thst plane is a POS!

8. Portland ? Well THAT explains it…the aircraft was probably protesting…. something 😂

9. Congratulations to the Pilot.

10. It is amazing 👏 😍 🙌

11. It was a religious holiday… the plane was holy!!

12. It was a religious holiday… the plane was holy!!

13. Wonder what would have been louder for the person sitting in one of those seats. The sound of the plane ripping apart and all the wind or the collective sound of a load of people shitting their pants.

14. Who was the passengers on that seat, that's what I wanted to know??

15. Everyone looked pretty calm

16. Always wondered what would happen if someone grabbed the emergency exit door handle and pulled it during flight!

17. Boeing 737 MAX is the biggest failure in modern aviation history. Money is more important than people lifes. Customers should to boycott such airplane.

18. its just came out of the production facility

19. 7 Jan 2024 – an Alaska Airlines Boeing 737 Max 9 was forced to return to Portland, landing after 35 minutes in the air.
    A toddler narrowly escaped being pulled out, and his shirt was ripped off his back by the depressurising force, which also reportedly took out phones and smaller items.
    It was reported that the two seats nearest the faulty passenger exit were fortunately not in use at the time.

    Alaska Airlines grounded its 65 Max 9s, FAA demanded inspections, and Britain has refused to have them in its airspace until each one has been inspected.

    In December 2019 Jennifer Riordon was killed when she was sucked part-way out of a window of a 737 Max, and hit by engine debris. This followed two recent crashes of the 737 Max.

20. maintenance issue if this is not the maiden voyage.

21. Big money claim incoming

22. Probably caused by metal fatigue and maintenance error on Alaska Airlines Flight 1282 like Aloha Air 243

    Alaska agent say they cover another plate metal over the previous one

23. I don't see the issue here

24. Good luck to airlines trying to sell window seats…

25. The person seated next to that hole either got a nice view or got traumatized.

26. Did I mention fun things ALWAYS happen in Portland?

27. Fantastic pilots and crew 👏👏👏👏

28. Sickening.

29. Those ppl were a lot calmer than I would have been!

30. Boeing needs to stop tinkering with this 56yr old airframe design, retire it and design a new single jet
