Sarah Kopit here, signing in from Brooklyn, New York. It's been a busy weekend on the travel beat. As I'm sure most readers of this newsletter are aware, on Friday a large fuselage section of an Alaska Air Boeing 737 Max 9 aircraft suddenly blew out mid-flight over suburban Portland, Oregon. The plane landed safely but the missing part was MIA. On Saturday, NTSB chair Jennifer Homendy asked Portland residents to contact authorities if they happened to find it. A school teacher did just that after finding the panel in his backyard, making this the easiest part of the puzzle to solve.
