An Alaska Airlines flight from Oregon to Southern California made an emergency landing Friday following a mid-air incident in which part of a side of the plane appeared to have detached.
Flight 1282 landed safety at Portland International Airport, Port of Portland spokesperson Allison Ferre said in a statement.
No injuries were reported among the 174 passengers and 6 crew members on board, Alaska Airlines said.
The Federal Aviation Administration said it returned to the airport after "the crew reported a pressurization issue."
Alaska described what happened as an "incident." A photo from a passenger on board showed an entire panel missing from a side of the fuselage, next to a row of seats.
It's not clear how the panel became separated from the passenger jet.

Kyle Rinker posted a photo from inside the plane on social media platform X, along with the caption, "When the wall of the plane just breaks off mid flight."
Alaska said in a statement, "The safety of our guests and employees is always our primary priority, so while this type of occurrence is rare, our flight crew was trained and prepared to safely manage the situation."
The flight was destined for Ontario International Airport in San Bernardino County, California.
According to FlightAware, an air travel tracking site, the flight took off from Portland at 4:52 p.m. and landed back at Portland at 5:27 p.m.
It identified the aircraft as a Boeing 737 MAX 9.
Boeing said in a statement that it was aware of the incident.
"We are working to gather more information and are in contact with our airline customer," it said. "A Boeing technical team stands ready to support the investigation."
The National Transportation Safety Board, FAA and Alaska Airlines all said they were probing the incident.

Saw that on an episode of the X-FILES!
That should buff out.
a 3x6 piece of aluminum coil stock, a tube of silicone, and half a roll of 1000mph tape... ezpz
nobody ever reads the fine print on the super glue tube. that shit has to cure...
Again the 737 Max is in trouble. These days, every day, I read about different automobile recalls for assorted reasons. There was a time when workmen rightly took pride in the work that they did - so "Where have all the flowers gone?"
To automation and the assembly line.
Okay, so give all those migrants jobs instead of automation. That could solve two problems.
Craftsmanship won't be one of them.
Used to bring blown glass, jewelry, knives, guitars and tequila back from Mexico on a regular basis. Don't tell me Mexicans aren't craftsmen!

Will those craftsman skills translate to building aircraft, as THAT was what he was referring to in his post responding to posts 4, 4.1, 4.1.1?
Ok, you put your life on the line and fly on a jet built by people that make jewelry, guitars, knives, blown glass, and tequila. Just don’t expect the general public to join you. Lol

It is like the previous posts weren't read.
Lol, yep!
Don't see why not.
Worked at Aeroquip once and have seen semi-functional American fools make quality brake parts.

But automation and the assembly line have been around a long time:
(Video: Charlie Chaplin, Factory Scene from Modern Times, 1936)
Making an aircraft is a little different than jewelry, knives, tequila and the like.
I'll accept your first-hand personal experience.
I guess it's hard to find good help nowadays..
Sorry I started this. All I had said to start the thread is that I didn't think that today's workers were as careful and perfectionist as yesterday's. And THAT is the point I was making. Oh, and I don't think that the skills of American workers are necessarily better than those of other nations' workers, which should be understandable on my part since I'm not an American. .
Wasn't anything you did.
I think almost all of us understood your points, with maybe just the single exception.
I totally agree with that. in the past, for the most part, people took much more pride in their work. over the years (with a few exceptions) standards have rapidly gone downhill.
I think there are several contributing factors.
In the past. some of it was due to bullsh*t from academia.
I recently came across this which IMO says a lot:

A Workingman's PhD
I'm unable to open a YouTube. Can you explain what you posted?
it's a music video of a song about the dignity of manual labour and hard work. From Wikipedia:
" Working Man's Ph.D. " is a song co-written and recorded by American country music artist Aaron Tippin . It was released in June 1993 as the lead-off single from his album Call of the Wild . It peaked at number 7 in the United States, and number 6 in Canada. It was written by Tippin, Philip Douglas, and Bobby Boyd. [1]

The song describes the life of a working man with some Pride, Honor, and Dignity.
Working Man’s Ph.D Lyrics
Toss a lunchbox into a pickup truck
A long, hard day, sure ain't much fun
But you've gotta get it started if you wanna get it done
You set your mind and roll up your sleeves
You're workin' on a working man's Ph.D
With your heart in your hands and the sweat on your brow
You build the things that really make the world go around
If it works, if it runs, if it lasts, for years
You bet your bottom dollar, it was made right here
With pride, honor and dignity
From a man with a working man's Ph.D
Now there ain't no shame in a job well done
From driving a nail to driving a truck
As a matter of fact I'd like to set things straight
A few more people should be pullin' their weight
If you wanna cram course in reality
You get yourself a working man's Ph.D
When the quittin' whistle blows and the dust settles down
There ain't no trophies or cheering crowds
You'll face yourself at the end of the day
And be damn proud of whatever you've made
Can't hang it on the wall for the world to see
But you've got yourself a working man's Ph.D
From driving a nail to driving a truck
As a matter of fact, I'd like to set things straight
A few more people should be pullin' their weight
If you wanna cram course in reality
You get yourself a working man's Ph.D
There are many high-tech products made in Mexico that the redneck racists here obviously aren't aware of. Google is your friend. [Deleted]
I've known many smart, well-educated and well-trained Mexicans.
(Yes, the aerospace industry is quite advanced in Mexico)
They aren't all migrant farmers and drug dealers.
“I've known many smart, well-educated and well-trained Mexicans.”
That reminded me a lot of something biden said that many took as racist.
”"I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy," Biden said. "I mean, that's a storybook, man."
Biden was speaking of Obama who is smarter than Biden could hope to be. I'd vote for Obama again given the chance.
That's why I dearly wish Michelle Obama would run. She'd win in a landslide victory. She'd always be the smartest person in the room.
Obama, worried about Trump, urges Biden circle to bolster campaign
Of course Obama is worried.
All thinking adults should be worried sick if Joe wins again.
Besides, how else is Barrack going to get his 4th term?
Tx, just like Trump you have no idea how elections actually work.
Obama can never run again but Michelle can.
Even if she ran and won, she still would not be the first woman president.
Nope, Donald Trump got that honor.
mmmmmm....nope
That was a fail
Truly one of the most ignorant posts I have had the displeasure to read.
Do better.
Pointing out what everybody knows is silly.
Strawman arguments.
Many people wouldn't even know what to do with a brain if they actually had one:
Ooops-- sorry Buzz. The video: Dorothy and The Strawman from The Wizard of Oz-- he's singing "If I only had a brain".
LOL. I knew it was that before you to told me. Your statement above the YouTube made that pretty obvious.
