This iPhone fell out of Alaska Airlines Flight 1282


The phone still had a baggage receipt email open.

Game designer Sean Bates found an iPhone in a bush Sunday that had fallen from Alaska Airlines Flight 1282 when it lost a part of its fuselage shortly after takeoff. The National Transportation Safety Board confirmed during a Sunday briefing that two phones were recovered after falling from the Boeing 737 Max 9 — one was found on the side of the road and another in a yard. The same day of the incident, The Seattle Times reported that Boeing had requested a safety exemption for an unrelated defect that could cause catastrophic engine damage.
