According to Seattle airport spokesman Perry Cooper, the phone could not be identified because it had been charred.
“During an interview with a Port of Seattle Police officer, the owner of the cell phone stated it was Samsung Galaxy A21. But we can’t confirm (the model of the phone) just by looking at the remains of the device,” Cooper explained.
Compiled by KompasTekno from Apple Insider, Wednesday (25/8/2021), Alaska Airlines Flight 751 was carrying 128 passengers and six cabin crew.
