00:00 A passenger on the Alaska Airlines flight is finally opening up about the terrifying
00:04 moment when a piece of the plane blew out.
00:07 Passenger Kelly Barlett was getting ready to enjoy a peaceful flight from Oregon to
00:11 Ontario, Canada when disaster struck.
00:14 Barlett took to Instagram to write, "Friday night I was on the plane from Portland in
00:17 which a wall panel blew out 15 minutes into our flight.
00:21 We had just passed 10,000 feet when there was a loud boom and the plane filled with
00:25 wind and noise and the oxygen masks dropped.
00:28 Three rows behind me was a hole in the side of the plane."
00:31 A clip of the incident went viral on TikTok, with the caption stating that luckily no one
00:36 was in the window seat when the wall panel blew out, but a boy in the middle seat had
00:40 his shirt ripped off.
00:41 In her Instagram post, Barlett continued, "There was one open seat next to me and a
00:45 15-year-old kid, Jack, jumped over me, sat down and grabbed the mask.
00:50 He had no shirt on because it had been sucked off when the panel blew.
00:54 He had been sitting in the middle seat of the faded row."
00:56 The bear communicated via Notes app because it was so loud.
01:00 Luckily Jack was okay despite losing his shirt and wanted a selfie with Barlett to commemorate
01:04 the experience.
