Passengers File $1 Billion Lawsuit Against Alaska Airlines and Boeing Over 'Systemic Issues' That Caused Door Failure Mid-Flight

Three passengers who were on Alaska Airlines Flight 1282 when a door plug blew out mid-flight in January have filed a $1 billion lawsuit against the airline and Boeing.

The passengers say Boeing is jeopardizing the lives of the entire traveling public who travel on Boeing aircraft.

Investigators found 4 bolts that hold the door plug in place were missing at the time of the blowout.

A prior lawsuit alleges passengers on a previous flight heard a whistling sound coming from the door plug area.

The FAA has grounded the Boeing 737 Max 9 fleet for further investigation and told Boeing it must address the company’s "systemic quality-control issues."
