US EditionBoeing sued by flight attendants over MAX 9 mid-air panel blowout
SEATTLE’S KING COUNTY, WASHINGTON, JUL 31 – The crew alleges Boeing’s negligence caused physical and psychological harm after a panel blowout on Flight 1282, with the NTSB citing systemic manufacturing failures.
- On Tuesday, four flight attendants on Alaska Airlines Flight 1282 filed lawsuits against Boeing in Seattle’s King County Superior Court, alleging injuries and damages.
- Amid safety reviews, the NTSB said the blowout stemmed from Boeing and FAA shortcomings, determined after investigators found Boeing mechanics reinstalled the panel without four bolts.
- Mid-Flight, a door-sized section near the rear of Boeing 737-9 MAX blew off Flight 1282 10 minutes after takeoff, causing depressurization and the cockpit door to fly open, making communication difficult.
- The flight attendants said they `sustained injuries of a personal, permanent, and pecuniary nature` and are seeking compensation for past and future economic damages.
- Last month, the NTSB said Boeing’s safety culture and FAA oversight failed, citing inadequate guidance and oversight to prevent the incident.
