The aircraft returned to Portland for an emergency landing. All passengers and six crew members survived the accident, with three receiving minor injuries. A preliminary report published on February 6 said that four bolts, intended to secure the door plug, had been missing when the accident occurred and that Boeing records showed evidence that the plug had been reinstalled with no bolts prior to initial delivery of the aircraft.

Emery flight 17 slammed into an automobile salvage yard less than two minutes after lifting off from runway 22L at Mather Airport in Sacramento, California, while attempting to return to the airport for an emergency landing. The year-old captain, year-old first officer, and year-old flight engineer perished in the accident. The airplane was destroyed by impact forces and a massive post-crash fire see graphic 2.
