Passengers sue Boeing, Alaska Airlines for $1 billion over midair door panel blowout
Three passengers are suing Boeing and Alaska Airlines for $1 billion, alleging systemic problems that jeopardize the safety of all passengers on Boeing aircraft.
The lawsuit claims that Alaska Airlines neglected to inspect the plane and seeks to hold Boeing accountable for causing panic, fear, and post-traumatic stress among passengers and crew members.
The lawsuit also seeks punitive damages from Boeing for the preventability of the incident and the impact on other Boeing 737 Max 9 aircraft.
