These plane crash survivors and victims’ loved ones are becoming scared to fly again after years of travel. They’re not alone
A gaping hole was ripped in the fuselage of a United Airlines Boeing 747 when its cargo door flew open while en route to New Zealand on February 24, 1989. Paul

A sickening sense of deja vu flooded over Barb Handley and her siblings as news of the midflight blowout of an Alaska Airlines plug door – and the gaping hole it left behind – emerged in January.

Images of the refrigerator-sized void conjured up heart-wrenching memories of the death of their mother, who in 1989 was among nine passengers blown out of a United Airlines Boeing 747 when its cargo door blew open over the Pacific Ocean, taking with it a large chunk of the cabin wall.

“It felt like seeing the hole through which I was visualizing my mother being thrown out a plane,” Handley said of the Alaska Airlines blowout in January, which happened on a Boeing 737 Max 9.

Handley has flown countless times since her mother’s death and has never been able to shake her nervousness. But the January blowout – and a string of recent mishaps involving Boeing jets – has ratcheted her anxieties to new levels.

“I know my brother and my sisters feel the same way,” she said. “You wonder, ‘Has there been enough due diligence with this individual plane, with this airline, with this manufacturer?’ And those feelings are definitely heightened with the Boeing incidents.”

Though no passengers were killed during the Alaska Airlines incident, experts have said it could have been far more catastrophic. The chair of the National Transportation Safety Board has warned that “something like this can happen again.”

The two seats closest to the door plug were thankfully unoccupied, yet the blowout caused an air pressure loss severe enough to rip a boy’s shirt off and twist the seats’ metal frames toward the opening. An early assessment from the NTSB found that Boeing may have left critical bolts off the jet.

The blowout is among a handful of harrowing air travel incidents that have contributed to a growing sense of unease among some travelers, including a violent plunge that sent passengers slamming into the ceiling of a Boeing Dreamliner jet last month and a case of severe turbulence that required several people to be taken to the hospital.

A parade of less severe mishaps has also captured attention.

The Federal Aviation Administration is taking a close look at United Airlines after nearly a dozen incidents so far this year – all on Boeing jets – including a missing external panel, flames shooting from an engine after takeoff and a wheel popping off.
