Alaska Airlines Flight 1282.

The door plug from the Alaska Airlines Boeing 737 MAX 9 that experienced a decompression after taking off from Portland International Airport (PDX) has been discovered in an Oregon backyard, according to National Transport Safety Board (NTSB) officials in the US.

After the end of a news conference in which National Transportation Safety Board Chair Jennifer Homendy laid out the probe’s status, she returned to give a piece of positive news: “I’m excited to announce that we found the door plug,” she said.

Two cell phones have also been found — one in a yard and another on the side of the road, she said.

“We’re going to go pick that up and make sure that we begin analyzing it,” Homendy added, stating that two mobile phones had also been recovered in the vicinity – one in a different backyard and another at the side of a road.
