In the latest in a raft of airplane incident over the past couple of weeks, passengers on board an Alaska Airlines flight out of Oregon were subjected to a terrifying sight when one of the emergency exit doors blew out while the plane was ascending.
Pilots completed an emergency landing with a massive hole in the plane's fuselage and passengers sat in their seats wearing oxygen masks.
In a separate incident, passengers onboard an Air New Zealand flight to Vancouver were also turned around after a techincal issue with the plane's spoiler was found.
Those events come after a deadly runway collision in Japan last week.
