Portland – A Boeing 737 Max was forced to make an emergency landing during a US domestic flight on Friday (January 5) due to a cabin part that tore off. The crashed part of the Alaska Airlines plane has now been found in a teacher's front yard.

Search for missing Alaska Airline aircraft part: US authorities publicly asked for help
The US security agency had publicly asked for help in finding the missing part. According to the authorities, no more precise information about the find can be given at the moment. This is currently being recovered and then analyzed. Homendy thanked the teacher for his cooperation and was very relieved. The search continues for other lost items and aircraft parts.
The part of the cabin that was seized from the teacher's garden is a cover plate for an emergency exit that is not needed. The piece of fuselage weighing 27 kilograms is important evidence in clearing up the accident. Investigations into the plane collision at Tokyo Haneda Airport are currently underway in Japan. In this case, communication data provides new, bitter details.
A piece of machinery on the left side of the Alaska Airlines passenger plane broke out on Friday. The pressure in the machine then fell and forced the pilots to make an emergency landing. None of the 171 passengers on board were injured. The passenger plane was on its way from Portland to Ontario, a small city in the state of California.

In response to the incident, the US security agency intervened Temporary flight ban for Type 171 Boeing 737 Max 9 aircraft. Airlines around the world also stopped using the aircraft, which led to numerous flight cancellations. This is not the first time that the Boeing 737 Max has attracted negative attention.

However, Homendy emphasized that it is still unclear whether this is related to the current accident.
Another fatal accident at the airport is currently shaking up the United States. A 30-year-old man died because he climbed into a running plane engine. (jus)
