  • Aloha Airlines Flight 243 was already at cruising altitude when the unthinkable happened - some parts of the plane came loose. There are only a few injured, but the question is whether the plane can land safely.
    What maintenance problems do you think are most often responsible for aircraft crashes?

    Mayday: Air Disaster - from Season 3 Episode 1 "Hanging by a Thread": April 1998 - Aloha Airlines Flight 243 takes off from Maui for a short island hop to Honolulu. The flight and cabin crew are experienced and have worked together for years. The Boeing 737 takes off under clear and sunny conditions, but when the plane reaches its cruising altitude of 24000 feet, the pilots hear a loud bang. What has happened is incredible, a huge chunk of the plane’s roof and walls is missing, right down to the passengers’ feet. They are flying in a convertible!

    There's a song that has the lyrics "I can't stand to fly...I'm not that naive", I'm an old afraid to fly guy, but I'll fly with this aircrew, from captain to steward, I love to fly, I just hate to turbulence more, no crashing into mountains either...but I would fly with them, professional, calm and cool....we need thousands more like them....

      Ironically I love turbulence, for me I hate the taking off and rise to cruising altitude and the descent to landing as well. I just have a feeling that we're either going up to steep or going too slow on descent. Once I'm at cruising altitude I'm perfectly fine, and rather enjoy the turbulence. It's weird but... 😂🤷

    That's why its always better to fasten your seat belt whenever you are seated. Great flying by the crew to land a structural compromised aircraft safely on the tarmac.

      Agree 100 percent

      I also agree 💯. I always keep my seatbelt on when I'm on a plane. They're not uncomfortable to me. I only get up to use the 🚻.

    🙏🏽🙏🙏🏼🙏🏾 So sad about CB Lansing. My thoughts and prayers for her family and friends. I was just a child when this happened and my prayers are still with CB Lansing.

      Just like Passengers on China Airlines Flight 611 was died along with pilots in a Taiwan Strait near Taiwan after there's a Tail Strike and everyone in Taiwan was crying and praying for all their family and friends.

    It’s a good thing that none of the metal that broke off did not hit the tail.

      She is quite the person. Her descriptions are so vivid and creative. She would be an interesting person to know.
      The actor they had playing her was other-worldly in terms of beauty.

    A much viewed episode. The roof and sides of first five rows of passenger area tips off. Plane lands safely.

    I wonder what passengers felt when the wind was hitting their face at 300 miles an hour and looking straight down to the ground...

    Will you just stick to a standard measurement, please? Feet. What's with the meters? Aviation altitudes are measured in feet, not meters. If this narrator was working ATC we would have big problems.

    43:55 I think the fact that you can see the poor CB Lancing's blood stain on the side of the airplane means that she definitely smashed her head there. Poor woman.
    The fact that they said she was trapped? Oof.

    Not a 737 interior at beginning. 737 have 3 and 3seats abreast.

    Structural failure due to poor maintenance practices fatal design flaws and inspection oversight

    Looks worse than it was. At least no flight control issues.
