A class-action lawsuit was filed Thursday against aircraft manufacturer Boeing on behalf of multiple passengers who were aboard an Alaska Airlines flight last week that was forced to make an emergency landing in Portland, Oregon, after a portion of the fuselage blew out in midair.
The lawsuit — filed on behalf of six passengers and a relative in King County Superior Court in Washington state, where Boeing is headquartered — alleges that “the event physically injured some passengers and emotionally traumatized most if not all aboard.”
On the night of Jan. 5, Alaska Airlines Flight 1282 was carrying 174 passengers and six crew members bound for Ontario, California, when a door plug of blew out just minutes after the Boeing 737 Max 9 had taken off from Portland.
Also have a look at this:
The decision by Alaska Airlines to stop flying one of its planes over the Pacific Ocean to Hawaii due to warnings from a cabin-pressurization system — yet keep flying it over land — is raising questions about whether the jet should have been in the air at all.
Wouldn’t be at all surprised if they were also targeted in future lawsuits.
Oh great class action. So everyone involved can win some piss in a jar, and the lawyers make $7 Million dollars
Multi-million dollar settlements that are split between tens of millions of people are like that - but this one involves 7 people according to the headline. They should get something significant for it.

That’s incorrect:
And now for some trivia related to Boeing’s previous headquarters:

Wow, maybe the place is haunted.
Weird. Haunted by greedy assholes, is my guess.
