Alaska Airlines flight makes emergency landing in Oregon after window and chunk of fuselage blow out

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — An Alaska Airlines flight made an emergency landing in Oregon after a window and chunk of its fuselage reportedly blew out in mid-air. A passenger sent KATU-TV a photo showing what appears to be an exit row missing a door and window. It was not immediately clear if anyone was injured. Alaska Airlines did not immediately return an email message seeking information. The flight left Portland for Ontario, California, at 4:52 p.m. Friday but returned just before 5:30 p.m. KPTV-TV reports photos sent by a passenger showed a large section of the airplane’s fuselage was missing.
