Boeing 737 Max 9 Grounded Worldwide after Midair Fuselage Detachment

Scores of Boeing 737 Max 9 planes, spanning the US, Latin America, Turkey, and the EU, have been grounded following an emergency landing prompted by a midair fuselage detachment incident.

Alaska Airlines Flight 1282 faced the harrowing experience as a substantial section of the aircraft's fuselage detached mid-flight, exposing the cabin to the external environment. 

This necessitated an immediate return shortly after departing from Portland, Oregon, en route to California on Friday. Fortunately, none of the 174 passengers or six crew members suffered serious injuries, although some required medical attention. 

Alaska Airlines took swift action, grounding all 65 of its 737 Max 9 planes for thorough safety inspections as the cause of the incident remains under investigation.
