By that point‚ passengers appeared calm‚ although they were using oxygen masks. “Everything was going fine until we heard a loud bang … a boom‚” Elizabeth recalled. “I look up‚ and the air masks are popped down‚ and I look down to my left‚ and there’s a huge‚ gaping hole on the left side‚ where the window is.” While people were shaken‚ no one was hurt‚ though a child’s shirt got pulled through the opening‚ she said. The child and the mother were sitting across the aisle when the panel blew out‚ and Elizabeth told KGW that she heard the mom had to drag her son back inside‚ his skin reddened by the wind. Elizabeth was sitting two rows to the right behind where the window was‚ and recalled she could feel the air where she was. “It was really loud; at first‚ I thought it was my ears popping … I had my noise-cancelling headphones on‚ so it did suppress most of the noise‚ thankfully‚” she continued. “I’m glad everyone stayed calm‚ and everyone had their seatbelts on … so everyone was okay.” “Following tonight’s event on Flight 1282‚ we have decided to take the precautionary step of temporarily grounding our fleet of 65 Boeing 737-9 aircraft‚” Alaska Airlines CEO Ben Minicucci said. “AS1282 from Portland to Ontario‚ CA experienced an incident this evening soon after departure.
