The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has created a team to investigate the Alaska Airlines flight that was forced to make an emergency landing when a part of the plane exploded mid-journey.
“The NTSB has dispatched a Go Team to Portland, Oregon, to investigate an event involving a Boeing 737-9 MAX during a flight from Portland to Ontario, California.” the agency announced on the 10th Saturday morning.
“The team will arrive on site today and is made up of experts in structures, operations and systems. “Chairwoman Jennifer Homendy will be the on-site spokesperson,” the NTSB post added.
The Alaska Airlines flight took off from Portland International Airport around 4:52 p.m. local time on Friday, but changed course shortly thereafter.
The plane carrying 171 passengers and six crew members “experienced an incident,” Alaska Airlines said in a later statement, without providing further information.
