'Saturday Night Live' Satirizes Alaska Airlines' Midair Blowout

The sketch humorously suggests new safety measures in the wake of the incident, which involved a panel blowing out of a plane mid-flight.

Alaska Airlines has been the subject of a satirical sketch on 'Saturday Night Live' following a midair blowout on one of its flights.
The sketch mocked the airline's response to the incident, suggesting new safety measures such as tightening the bolts that hold the plane together.
The incident, which occurred earlier this month, involved a panel blowing out of a Boeing 737 MAX 9 jet mid-flight, causing depressurization.
The sketch also referenced another incident involving an off-duty Alaska Airlines pilot who allegedly attempted to shut off a plane's engines during a flight.
Following the incident, Alaska Airlines grounded its fleet of MAX 9 jets and announced that preliminary inspections had discovered 'some loose hardware' on some aircrafts.
