'Loose hardware' found on more Alaska Airlines 737 MAX 9 planes

Alaska Airlines has said more "loose hardware" has been found on some of its Boeing 737 MAX 9 fleet of aircraft.

It follows the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) grounding all 171 737 MAX 9 planes operated by US airlines after a window and chunk of fuselage blew out of one Alaska Airlines aircraft on 5 January shortly after it took off from an airport in Portland, Oregon.

Sky's Paul Kelso went on a simulator to find out what it would have been like for the pilots on board.
