WATCH: Large Airplane Window Section Blows Open, Forcing Emergency Landing

An Alaska Airlines flight was reportedly forced to make an emergency landing Friday night after a large window section was ejected.

The reported Boeing 737 Max had just taken off from Portland, Oregon, heading to Ontario, California, before the plane had suffered from a large window blowing out of the plane caused by severe depressurization, according to the Daily Mail.

Video footage posted on Twitter appeared to show the plane in the air with the window wide open. Emergency oxygen masks could be seen dangling over passengers’ seats, as a passenger recording the incident stated she had heard from an airline attendant the seat next to the open window had been empty prior to the emergency.

The flight had reportedly taken off at around 5 p.m. before the window blew out at 16,000 feet, which had ripped off a child’s shirt from the pressure, the Daily Mail reported. One passenger told KPTV a kid had to be held in his seat by his mother and some people’s phones were sucked out of the plane.
