U.S. airlines have been temporarily ordered to ground some Boeing planes after an Alaskan Airlines flight was forced into an emergency landing when a piece of the airplane\u2019s body was blown out. Thankfully, while there were no serious injuries after a sizable portion of the Boeing 737 Max 9 flew out, there was a child seated near the blown-out piece, according to KPTV-TV.<\/a><\/p>\n

The little boy\u2019s mother held him as the airliner bound for California made its emergency landing at Portland International Airport. The child\u2019s shirt was sucked out of the airplane due to the sudden depressurization, and his skin was reportedly irritated and reddened by the violent wind filling the plane\u2019s cabin.<\/p>\n

One passenger told The New York Times <\/em><\/a>what she witnessed during the ordeal. She said, \u201cI open up my eyes, and the first thing I see is the oxygen mask right in front of me,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd I look to the left, and the wall on the side of the plane is gone. The first thing I thought was, \u2018I\u2019m going to die.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
