Alaska Airlines 737 MAX 9 Decompression

[JTS11]

According to a guy named "Bob" (CNN's chyron says), MAX's aft-end plug has been found just outside of Portland, in Bob's backyard.

Seems very Woke to me...😂

Hey JTS, where do you think you're gonna put a tree plug that big?

Instant decompression to 16K'...the flatulence must have been awe-inspiring. Explains the mist?

The infamous words 'Could not duplicate on deck' came to mind when I read this:

Alaska Airlines recorded that the plane’s auto-pressurization fail light — which is designed to signal failures in controlling cabin pressure — had illuminated on three flights in the weeks before Friday’s incident. Those reports, on Dec. 7, Jan. 3 and Jan. 4, prompted tests and a reset from maintenance...

Airline pilots, what's the EP for a rapid decompression? How fast are you descending when that happens?

Oxygen mask-on

VSI depends on altitude but 3 to 1is probably the best you’re gonna get with the slow down unless you throw the gear. So I would guess somewhere between 1000-1500

Are you mostly worried about structural integrity/unknowns related to what caused the decrompression?

2 iPhones found, and at least one still ticking.

iPhone Survives 16,000-Foot Drop After Alaska Airlines Plane Incident

An iPhone that was expelled from the cabin of Alaska Airlines flight 1282 on Friday survived a fall of more than 16,000 feet and was discovered...

Also, as a side note, this is why always-on screens may not be the best idea.

The phone was also unlocked - crazy in this day and age.

That was a close run thing.

Hypoxia.. Can’t stabilize the aircraft if you’re dead

For some reason I was envisioning hurricane force winds with people hanging onto their seats 😂 seems pretty mild on board

The frames of the adjacent seats were bent in the direction of the opening!

On the 737, at least at my carrier, we don't slow down unless there is concern for structural integrity. We bug the barber pole and will descend as fast as possible with gear up.. much quicker than 1000-1500. Don't remember what we'd achieve in the sim, but I'd guess more like 3.5-4.5k.

Same at mine. To be fair, Frank's boxes don't die when the oxygen generators run out (or the partial O2 pressure is too low)
