Seven people who allegedly suffered injuries after a door-sized panel blew off mid-air file suit against airline and manufacturer
Seven passengers of the harrowing Alaska Airlines flight that had to make an emergency landing after a door-sized panel blew off the plane are suing the airline and the aircraft’s manufacturer Boeing.
One of the plaintiffs is Cuong Tran, a passenger who was seated in a window seat right behind the door plug that blew out mid-air, causing rapid depressurization in the cabin of the Boeing 737 Max 9 jet. He was saved by his seatbelt as air rushed out of the hole, tearing off a pair of socks and one shoe and sucking away his iPhone.
He and six other plaintiffs, who suffered physical injuries and feared for their lives during their incident, according to their attorneys, are suing Alaska, the airline, Boeing, the plane’s manufacturer, and its supplier Spirit Aerosystems.

Wait
Both socks… One shoe???
What kind of inter dimensional black hole opened up on this plane?
One foot sock, one knob sock.
To keep his tackle warm on the flight.
He was wearing a total of 3 socks, one on the outside of his shoe. As was the custom at the time.
I’d sue too!
I for some reason didn’t see ‘was’, and was re-reading the title half a dozen times to make sure I understood it right.
Boeing could plead it was just edging, because he never got off completely. Knocked his socks off though.
You are a terrible person. I salute you.

Such a good clickbait title. The actual article is like, yeah of course he’d sue, it would be weird if he didn’t. I wanted to know about the guy in the bathroom about to join the mile high club who’s suing for getting cockblocked
