Not entirely correct to say it was an exit door. It wasn't a functioning exit door. Basically, a door plug that is permanently secured to the airplane at the factory, by the factory. From the inside, it merely looks like a window. By no means can it be used as an exit when configured this way.

The air current? That's an ironic name for this incident. Kudos to the crew. Glad nobody was seriously injured. Fortunately I don't have a lot of Boeing stock...

WTF is going on in Renton? Bill Boeing must doing cheetah flips in his grave. Guess that's what legalizing recreational weed does to the work force? just spit balling here, but the QA at that plant and the one in Everett are really lacking.
Great job by the crew!!

Is it true that the blowout occurred at 16,000’? If so, yikes.
and I live how the damage control people say they’ll perform “full maintenance and safety inspections” on every max.
Seems like they should have been doing that the whole time
