Seven people who allegedly suffered injuries after a door-sized panel blew off mid-air file suit against airline and manufacturer
Seven passengers of the harrowing Alaska Airlines flight that had to make an emergency landing after a door-sized panel blew off the plane are suing the airline and the aircraft’s manufacturer Boeing.
One of the plaintiffs is Cuong Tran, a passenger who was seated in a window seat right behind the door plug that blew out mid-air, causing rapid depressurization in the cabin of the Boeing 737 Max 9 jet. He was saved by his seatbelt as air rushed out of the hole, tearing off a pair of socks and one shoe and sucking away his iPhone.
He and six other plaintiffs, who suffered physical injuries and feared for their lives during their incident, according to their attorneys, are suing Alaska, the airline, Boeing, the plane’s manufacturer, and its supplier Spirit Aerosystems.
What?!?! The TOS on the ticket doesn’t force him into arbitration?
Not sure of you’re being sarcastic, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Boeing had an arbitration clause for almost dying due to their negligence. There nothing too depraved for them.
I couldn’t be more sarcastic.
