Alaska Airlines flight urgently returns to Portland due to window loss
An Alaska Airlines Flight Forced to Return to Portland After Window Blows Off Midflight
An Alaska Airlines flight had a terrifying experience on Friday when a window on the Boeing aircraft blew off during the flight, leading to its immediate return to Portland, Oregon. The incident occurred shortly after the plane took off from the Portland International Airport, en route to Ontario, California.
Passengers Report Depressurization and Cold Temperatures
While the exact cause of the window blowout is still unknown, passengers on board shared their experience with Oregon news outlet Fox-12. They revealed that the missing windows caused a sudden depressurization, resulting in a child’s shirt being ripped off. Fortunately, no injuries have been reported so far.
A Recurring Issue
This is not the first time a plane has operated without a window. In a similar incident in November, a flight crew departing from London discovered that two windows were missing on an Airbus A321 bound for the United States. Passengers on that flight also noticed unusual noise and cold temperatures in the cabin.
Thankfully, no one was injured in the London incident, as all passengers were seated in the middle of the aircraft.
The Washington Examiner has reached out to Alaska Airlines for further comment on the recent incident.
