How the plane door came off
On Friday night, the door of a Alaska Airlines Boeing 737 MAX 9 detached from the cabin in mid-flight over Portland, causing the cabin to depressurize and creating a suction effect that, according to passengers cited by the American media, tore off a teenager’s shirt… and, apparently, the cell phone he was wearing.

He accident caused the immobilization of some ships pending an inspection imposed by civil aviation authorities and led to the fall of Boeing shares on Monday.
