Alaska Airlines First Officer Emily Wiprud, who helped pilot a Boeing 737 Max to a safe landing after a door panel blew out mid-air, spoke publicly for the first time about the incident.

In January, Alaska Airlines flight 1282 from Portland, Oregon, to Ontario, California, made headlines worldwide when it suffered a midair blowout after a door plug separated from the Boeing 737 MAX 9 aircraft. Since then, there has been a post-incident analysis and greater scrutiny of plane maker Boeing, among various other developments.
