Update (1250ET):
Sources tell CNBC that United Airlines plans to ground dozens of its Boeing 737 MAX 9 jets for inspections following an incident involving a mid-cabin exit door on an Alaska Airlines MAX 9 jet on Friday evening. This would mean both Alaska Airlines and United Airlines would have both grounded their MAX 9 jet fleets.
Here’s what X users are saying about the Alaska Airlines incident:
Another video. Confirms a rear plug door failed in flight. Super rare, brand new @Boeing 737 max 9 failure. Absolutely NOT something a passenger could do. This is a mechanical failure and not something maintenance would be at fault for. https://t.co/xUCpXIYml1
