Oh Alaska/Boeing

As head scratching as this whole thing is, how incredibly lucky are we, really? I mean it looks like at least dozens of aircraft were flying around with this issue, and we learn about it (so we can fix it) because one blows off below the flight levels and with nobody in the two affected seats? Lot to feel fortunate about here.
Literally the only way this could have been better is if it had happened on the ground while MX was troubleshooting the pressurization, a la that American 767 that ate a CF6 turbine wheel in LAX(?).

Admittedly the mental image of a 737 pressurized to max diff yeeting a door plug across the ramp is pretty freaking funny
 
The amount of loose bolts found would drop dramatically if they would stop looking for loose bolts
NUMBER of loose bolts. In English, the word "amount" refers to an incommensurable whole. "The amount of sand" vs. "the number of grains of sand", etc. Or, say, "the amount of crap I'm going to get for this post" vs. "the number of smiles it will afford me."

I think my work here is done.

And refreshingly free from inane speculation and opinion.

I don't know if you're referring to Chris Brady's channel specifically or the YouTube experts crowd in general. FWIW I find Chris' videos consistently good, informative, and free of BS.

Unlike that blanco guy linked above (full disclosure, I haven't watched it because I get nauseous every time I hear or see him talk)
