An iPhone survived the ultimate drop test after apparently falling 16,000 feet from the cabin of Alaska Airlines flight 1282 when the passenger plane’s door panel blew out in midair during a flight last Friday (January 5).
A Portland, Oregon, area resident named Sean Bates shared images of the device on X (formerly known as Twitter) over the weekend, which he said he spotted on the side of the road while on a walk. The National Transportation Safety Board issued an alert to nearby residents to report anything that looked like it fell from the Alaska Airlines flight that required an emergency landing in Portland.
