An Alaska Airlines flight from Portland to Ontario, California was forced to make an emergency landing after pressure decreased after takeoff.
Alaska Flight 1282 took off from Portland just after 5 p.m. local time on Friday when a window blew out at 16,000 feet, ripping a child's shirt.
The Boeing 737-9 MAX rolled off the assembly line just two months ago and received certification in November 2023, according to the FAA record posted online.

Several passengers told KPTV that the plane's oxygen masks were deployed immediately, and that several people used the masks while waiting for the plane to land at PDX.
Another passenger told the station that a child had to be held in his seat by his mother and that people lost their phones being sucked out of the plane.
It is not yet clear whether any of the passengers were injured in the incident.
Alaska Airlines posted on X that they were “aware of an incident” on board their flight AS1282 and said they would release more information as it becomes available.
