Missing part of Alaska Airlines plane that blew off mid-flight is found in Portland man’s backyard, investigators say
The missing part of the Alaska Airlines aircraft that blew off mid-flight has been found in a backyard in Portland, the National Transportation Safety Board announced.
A Portland school teacher named Bob reached out to the agency after he found the missing Boeing 737 MAX 9 fuselage door plug in his yard, NTSB Chair Jennifer Homendy said at a news conference.
Federal investigators had been searching for the door plug since it blew off an Alaska Airlines aircraft after taking off from Portland on Friday, leading to the nationwide grounding of certain Boeing 737 MAX 9 aircraft and a slew of flight cancellations.
The agency had asked for the public’s help finding the part and had plans of possibly using a helicopter or drones to continue the search Sunday. Homendy had explained locating the missing part would provide key clues as to why it separated from the airplane.
