00:00 It's Benzinga and here's what's on the block.
00:02 Alaska Airlines flight 1282 from Portland to California experienced a mid-air emergency
00:07 on January 5th when part of the Boeing 737 MAX 9's fuselage blew off, forcing an emergency landing.
00:14 In the days before, the plane's pressurization system had generated warning lights on three
00:19 previous flights, though crew reset the system per procedure. The detached fuselage section was
00:25 a plug door that filled the space of an emergency exit. It blew off at 16,000 feet, decompressing
00:31 the cabin. The incident prompted the FAA to ground all Boeing 737 MAX 9 aircrafts for inspection of
00:38 similar plug doors and hardware. The NTSB is investigating that the cockpit voice recorder
00:43 was overridden due to a two-hour limit potentially hindering the probe. For all things money visit
