The chair of the National Transportation Safety Board said no passengers were seated next to a cabin panel that blew out on an Alaska Airlines Boeing 737 MAX 9 that made an emergency landing Friday. NTSB Chair Jennifer Homendy said the two seats next to the portion of the fuselage that blew out were unoccupied. "We are very, very fortunate here that this didn’t end up in something more tragic," Homendy added.
