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.
Man who was almost sucked off
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.
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…
Wait
Both socks… One shoe???
What kind of inter dimensional black hole opened up on this plane?
He was wearing a total of 3 socks, one on the outside of his shoe. As was the custom at the time.
One foot sock, one knob sock.
To keep his tackle warm on the flight.
and sucking away
onnnne yeeear of his liiiiife.
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
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.
Suing Boeing? Better hope he doesn’t get suicided

OK yeh she’s pretty fit
Good thing he didn’t go through with it. Those things hit a ton of bugs and shit.
Are you not familiar with c/NonCredibleDefense ?
I’m not. What is it?
It’s a lemmy community that jokes about military stuff but I’m still not 100% sure what it all means
They really like military hardware over there. Sometimes they like it to rule 34 levels.
Idk but i wild sue too if the olane had to make an emergency landing, preventing me from getting sucked up on the plane

Careful, he may accidentally commit suicide the day before testifying!
Did he put the other shoe back on after losing both socks? WTF is going on here?
He was wearing the socks on his hands of course.
If I almost got sucked off on a plane and was left to fend for myself, I think I might sue as well. 😛
(Is there a legal precedent for a pain and suffering judgment being rendered for blue balls?)
Phrasing!
What?!?! The TOS on the ticket doesn’t force him into arbitration?
Not sure of you’re being sarcastic, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Boeing had an arbitration clause for almost dying due to their negligence. There nothing too depraved for them.
I couldn’t be more sarcastic.
I mean, I’d be more surprised is he DIDNT sue.
I hope that one day I too can win the plane suck Lottery
Better get him in witness protection ASAP as possible
*Blown off
There is no way that headline wasn’t 100% intentional.
