Holy shit. Good thing that seat was unoccupied. The approach to PDX down the gorge is hell. - Mop🧹 Jan 5, 19:03 2
- Almost certainly the pilots declared an emergency which would have given them clearance to land however they needed to. - ty97 Jan 5, 19:05 1

apparently that seat (somehow, in the age of fully-booked flights) was unoccupied -- nm - hollywood big shot Jan 5, 19:02 2
- I saw that, though I also saw something saying an 'unoccupied seat was ripped out'. This being breaking news, some details may be wrong. -- nm - ty97 Jan 5, 19:03 1
  - "well . . . now it's unoccupied" -- nm - hollywood big shot Jan 5, 19:06
