Scary moments. An Alaska Airlines plane made an emergency landing shortly after taking off from Portland, Oregon. The reason is visibly clear in the images that began to circulate online. Some videos, shared on social media, document the detachment of a window and a section of the aircraft wall. It is a Boeing 737 MAX 9, on its way to California and with 174 passengers and six crew on board.

Due to the problem encountered during the flight, the plane returned to Portland Airport at 5:26 pm local time. The Federal Aviation Administration began an investigation into the crash. No one was injured and everyone, the airline said, “landed safely.” Alaska Airles will “temporarily” ground all 65 Boeing 737 Max 9 planes to carry out inspections. Alaska Airlines CEO Ben Minicucci said, “Each aircraft will return to service only after full maintenance and safety inspections have been completed.”
