Four flight attendants who were aboard Alaska Airlines Flight 1282 when the aircraft's door plug detached after taking off from Portland International Airport, have filed a lawsuit against the plane's manufacturer Boeing.

Footage captured by passengers on the flight showed a gaping hole left by the door as pilots made an emergency landing last year.

Four flight attendants on the Alaska Airlines, 737 MAX 9 plane that experienced a mid-air cabin panel blowout in January last year are suing Boeing for physical and emotional injuries.
