The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has launched a team to investigate an Alaska Airlines flight that was forced to make an emergency landing when part of the plane exploded mid-flight.
“The NTSB has launched a Go Team to Portland, Oregon to investigate an incident with a Boeing 737-9 MAX during a flight from Portland to Ontario, California,” the agency announced at X Saturday morning.
“The team will arrive at the scene later today and will consist of experts in structures, operations and systems. Chairwoman Jennifer Homendy will be the spokeswoman at the scene,” the NTSB release added.
The Alaska Airlines flight took off from Portland International Airport around 4:52 pm local time Friday, but turned around shortly after.
The plane carrying 171 passengers and six crew members “experienced an incident,” Alaska Airlines said in a statement afterward, without providing further details.
