Vi Nguyen was looking forward to a girls trip when she and her friends boarded an Alaska Airlines flight bound for Ontario, California. Shortly after takeoff, the Boeing 737 MAX 9 aircraft suffered a blowout once a door plug tore off the fuselage, causing rapid depressurization in the cabin and forcing the plane to make an emergency landing back at Portland International Airport. Nguyen, 27, talks to The Seattle Times about her terrifying experience.
