IRONWOOD, MI -- A Wakefield man plans to take his concerns to the Gogebic County Board after he says an emergency exit door on his Boutique Airlines flight ripped off the plane just moments before his flight from Minneapolis to Ironwood was to take off Wednesday. Tom Yon tells KBJR-TV 6 in Duluth he was seated just feet from the door on a Boutique Airlines small, 8-person plane when the door flew off just before take off. Yon described a sound of a loud bang and then the door was gone and his carry-on bag being sucked out of the opening. The Metropolitan Airports Commission confirmed the incident happened around 3 p.m. Wednesday. They say the plane never actually left the ground after the door came off. The plane returned to the gate, and the door was found nearby. Yon says he plans to take his concerns to the Gogebic County Board during a public meeting Monday morning. Boutique Airlines has yet to comment regarding the incident.
The emergency door of a small plane flew out of its frame and onto the runway on a Minnesota airport shortly before takeoff Wednesday, where one passenger estimates the aircraft was moving around 100 mph when he heard a “loud bang.”
Tom Yon told KBJR-TV that the suction from the missing door lifted a bag that was right by his side and tossed it straight out of the plane without his noticing, leaving him to wonder what would have happened if one of his fellow passengers would have had a baby on their lap.
“It was scary, it was scary,” said Yon, who said he was seated just feet from what suddenly became a gaping hole in the side of the roughly 8-person plane.
Yon said the bag was returned to him about 90 minutes later.
The Metropolitan Airports Commission reportedly confirmed the incident happened around 3 p.m., adding that the plane aborted its launch and returned to a gate at Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport. The door was reportedly found nearby.
Boutique Airlines, which operated the flight from Minneapolis to Ironwood, Mich., did not reply to a message from KBJR-TV.
Yon said he and other passengers spent $400 on a car to make the roughly 180-mile trip to their destination. No one was reported injured.
