A cabin panel flew off in midair during an Alaska Airlines flight, leaving a gaping hole in the plane’s fuselage and forcing an emergency landing.
The incident took place on Saturday after Alaska Airlines flight 1282 took off from Portland, Oregon with 177 passengers on board. Social media images showed emergency oxygen masks hanging from the ceiling as passengers huddled in their seats in trepidation.
