Daily Stormer is going to need to be renamed “Boeing Watch.”
Embattled Alaska Airlines is at the center of a second aviation drama after a plane arrived at an airport gate in Portland, Ore. last Friday with its cargo door open.
The cargo hold was stowing passenger’s pets, according to local TV station KOIN, although none of the animals were injured. The plane had flown in from Los Cabos, Mexico.
Alaska Airlines told KOIN in a statement that “there was no indication to the crew that the door was unsealed during [last Friday’s] flight and all indications point to the door partially opening after landing.”
“Our maintenance teams inspected the aircraft, replaced a spring in the door, tested the door and reentered it into service,” the Alaska Airlines statement concluded.
…
Alaska Airlines hit headlines in January after a door plug blew off mid-air during a flight from Portland to Ontario, Calif.
…
Both Boeing and Alaska Airlines are already amid a $1B lawsuit over plane safety. The chair of the National Transportation Safety Board also warned that the January incident could be repeated.
What the hell are these people doing???
