Description
Four more passengers of the Alaska Airlines flight which lost a panel on its fuselage at 16,000 feet are suing the company and Boeing, who manufactured the 737 Max 9 airplane.
The suit was filed in a King County superior court by attorney Mark Lindquist. The lawsuit alleges that Boeing and Alaska Airlines were both negligent in the lead-up to the incident, which the passengers say resulted in physical pain, intense fear, distress, anxiety and trauma.
The plaintiffs, two from California and two from Washington, say some of the oxygen masks on the plane did not work and they feared they were going to die, echoing the concerns of six other passengers who have already filed a lawsuit against the plane manufacturer. This is the first suit filed against Alaska Airlines over the incident.
