Passengers on an Alaska Airlines flight that had a panel blowout midair 
might be victims of a crime, the FBI said in a letter obtained by CBS 
News.

The two-page letter was sent by a victim specialist in the Seattle 
Division of the FBI to those flying – 174 passengers and possibly six crew 
members  — on Flight No. 1282 on Jan. 5 from Portland, Oregon, to Ontario, 
California. The plane had to make an emergency landing, arriving safely at 
the Portland airport after a door plug blew off mid-flight.

"We have identified you as a possible victim of a crime," the FBI letter 
said. "This case is currently under investigation by the FBI. A criminal 
investigation can be a lengthy undertaking, and, for several reasons, we 
cannot tell you about its progress at this time."

There are a "large number of potential victims in this case," the FBI said 
in their letter. The letter detailed how the flyers could access 
information about the case and warned that criminal investigations "can be 
a lengthy undertaking." 

The plane had reached approximately 16,000 feet when the panel fell off, 
one passenger said in a lawsuit filed against Alaska Airlines, Boeing and 
door plug manufacturer Spirit Aerosystems, claiming the event left him and 
six other passengers with physical injuries and "serious emotional 
distress, fear, and anxiety." The passenger said his seatbelt saved him 
from being sucked out of the gaping hole.

Three passengers on the Alaska Airlines plane sued the airline and Boeing 
for $1 billion, claiming negligence caused the incident. Officials said 
several people sustained minor injuries, but no one was seriously hurt.

The FAA ordered a temporary grounding of certain Boeing 737 Max 9 planes 
shortly after the incident and required safety inspections for the 
aircraft in operation worldwide. The National Transportation Safety 
Board's preliminary report found four bolts meant to hold the door plug in 
place were missing.

The U.S. Justice Department is currently investigating the blowout, a 
person familiar with the investigation confirmed earlier this month to CBS 
News. It is not clear if their investigation is related to the letter sent 
by the FBI Seattle office.
