"FBI Notifies Alaska Airlines Flight 1282 Passengers of Potential Crime Victim Status"

The FBI has sent letters to passengers of Alaska Airlines Flight 1282, informing them that they could be "possible victims of a crime" following a mid-flight incident where a door plug blew off the aircraft. Lawsuits have been filed against Boeing and Alaska Airlines, with one attorney representing 27 passengers stating that the Department of Justice (DOJ) and FBI's involvement is extraordinary. The attorney believes the DOJ is investigating if Boeing violated prior conditions and if there are grounds for new criminal charges. Boeing and Alaska Airlines have responded, with Boeing declining to comment and Alaska Airlines stating they are fully cooperating with the investigation.
