What caused Flight 243 lose body panels?
first
Microfractures
I was wondering if anyone knows any more productions of the recreation of this flight 243. About 15 years ago I helped film a recreation of the interior cabin scene in LA and wondered if this was the final product or if something else exists. Possibly in a foreign language. Maybe Chinese or Japanese even.
03:56 really startled me!
@@LAactoris your first l
someone put a baloney sandwhich in em
Its jaw dropping that CB was the only fatality. May she rest in peace knowing her passengers and crew survived
It always deeply saddens me that the senior flight attendant, with 30+ years of experience, ends her career and her life being sucked out of the aircraft as she was. I worked for several years as an airline crew scheduler and one of my primary jobs was scheduling the flight attendants. They were all dedicated professionals and wonderful women and men to work and fly with. It would have torn me apart to have any one of them die in an accident so needlessly. RIP CB Lansing.
It is comforting to know that it was a very successful career and that she died doing what she loved
Similar here, I worked 4 1/2 yrs in crew travel. A different world for sure!
Imagine the fall, would she be awake? Terrifying.
@@brendancross2767 I think it's really sad and horribly un-comforting to see someone die "doing what they loved."
I agree, but it should be remembered that someone somewhere dies on the job every day. Probably many someones. It's a part of life and the airline industry is no different. Heck, there was a woman sucked into a jet engine on the ground only a few weeks ago.
Poor CB Lansing. I hope it was quick and that she didn't have time to realize what was happening. She seemed like such a delightful person, from what others have said about her.
The memorial garden is such a lovely gesture and I hope it brings a sense of solace to her friends and relatives.
Final destination its for real and because of youre sins bad things can happen to you..thanks god bless
Unfortunately, she was probably very aware or what was going on as we know a Capatin sucked out of the cockpit window (he was held in by his feet) survived and was aware of what was happening for some time
@@werearethedreamteam3724 OMG you're blaming her
@@werearethedreamteam3724 OMG you're blaming her
you can blame the demonic world..@@munitia100
My deepest admiration to CB Lansing for doing what you loved for 37 years. Rest In Peace ❤ on your 35th Anniversary 💐
Agree. I get bored after 2 years in one job. 🤷♀️
I keep wondering if after the first shock of being thrown out of the plane CB somehow found the Fulfillment of a dream she was an airline attendant for 37 years and she always dreamed of flying free and she finally got to do it and yes it ended in her death but it was 4 minutes of absolute ecstasy about that soon as she got over being freaked
When I lived in Hawaii I worked for Mimi Tompkins as a flight instructor. She was always professional and was an excellent pilot. I learned a lot from her.
Can will be friends
Oh! How amazing! She seems like a very capable person. Anyone who can keep calm under those circumstances is super human, literally.
I was wondering if she ever got that promotion, but maybe she decided to do flight instruction
@@micheleh5269yes, she was made captain eventually. She retired a captain.
People keep complaining that they need to put new videos on here. Of what exactly? More plane crashes? Are you putting two and two together now? What do you want, new plane crashes or something?
You don't have to watch them. Don't worry about why other people want to see more.
Can't be easy trying to read a manual during an emergency situation. It's amazing how the pilots still managed to land the plane. That's why fastened seat belts are so important. A miracle.
This was so emotional. My heart goes out to the family and friends of C.B. Lansing. However, I am so happy that everyone else survived. The pilots did an excellent job of handling this tragic incident.

Wished all AirLines Plane s...That Caused Catastrophic Incident Hadn't Crash and Landed Safe Ly...
The two pilots were absolutely excellent pilots! I had just acquired my PPL and met Mimi Tompkins while working on my Comm/Instr license. At that time there was an annual precision competition called the Apuepuelele. Flew against her twice and she beat my pants off both times. I left the Islands before the Flight 243 accident. She was always the pilot you knew you could count on! Wishing her the very best!
The woman who moved to Seat 17 listened to her gut instinct successfully.
@@cbufffly 1
@@cbufffly I wish the episode didn't make the copilot seem a bit helpless compared to the pilot. Thank you for sharing your experience of her as an excellent pilot.
It gave me shivers to see those first responders (firemen) drop everything and race into action upon hearing the 737 emergency over the loudspeaker. Well done. Pilots are total heroes, goes without saying really. Poor CB. She deserved better. Hopefully her head impacting part of the interior fuselage in fractions of a second brained her, rendered her unconscious and she never really knew what happened. Did not have to suffer, RIP.
@@mileyardgigahertz Oh, I thought it was weird when they depicted and implied an impact blood stain on the INSIDE wall of thefuselage (unless I understood it wrong in the video) !! What you say makes more sense, that at least part of her body, and likely upper part, would be sucked out by the tremendous depressurization and then whipped back against the exterior fuselage of the aircraft!! Just awful, but surely quick and certain severely traumatic injury.
lol it was a budget reenactment cant be that emotional
@@h.r.hufnstuf4171 Yeah obviously, that's why I wrote "well done"....but even fictional dramatic recreated scenes can inspire that kind of feeling sometimes. In reality that dude might have finished making that sandwich, you never know lol.
@@michaelesgro9506 I have a lot of respect for Firemen.
@@michaelesgro9506 gave me the shivers too. The way they are ALWAYS ready to just GO.
The guy who held and squeezed her hand helped save her life.
Gave her hope to live.
Thank God she survived.
yeah, my big bigup was the captain that did the impossible.
Your god created the wind.
Thank the pilots for landing the plane safely
@@wiretamer5710 God also created the PILOTS. DUH.
@@wiretamer5710 yep. MY God. He wants nothing to do with YOU Lol.
@@wiretamer5710 tell me you're white without telling me you're white lol
It's not the length of flights- it is how many take offs and landings that is important.
Indeed!
Unbelievable the recovery by these two pilots
Sha be calculating mid disaster .
Was that actual footage of the Captain casually shaking hands with the passengers at the end!? My God! What an absolute BOSS!
If that was my husband - I would be so choked up with pure pride. What a man!!
Incredible piece of flying. I wouldn't mind betting that only a very few pilots could have landed that plane.
Im so impressed with the way they manage to keep calm and focussed, special people and excellent training.
Those poor people who got sucked out, I suppose you're not conscious at that point.
Full respect for those who were prepared to re-live it for our information. Thank you.
As a pilot, I'd say he held it together and avoided panicking, but the plane wasn't stricken from a controllability standpoint, so personally I have to give this one to Boeing. How that 737 didn't completely disintegrate is beyond my capacity. That whole aircraft was held together by longitudinal stringers that were never intended to carry that kind of load.
@@lagrangepoint1184 The aircraft involved was a Boeing 737-200 and was the 152nd Boeing 737 airframe built at the Renton assembly plant. It was built in 1969 and delivered to Aloha Airlines as a new aircraft. Its registration was N73711 When delivered to Aloha, it was named King Kalaniopuu, after Kalaniʻōpuʻu, until it was leased to Air California/AirCal, after which the name was reassigned to N728AL. When N73711 returned to Aloha, it received its second name, Queen Liliuokalani after Liliʻuokalani. While the airframe had accumulated 35,496 flight hours prior to the accident, those hours included nearly 90,000 flight cycles (takeoffs and landings), owing to its use on short flights. This amounted to more than twice the number of flight cycles for which it was designed. At the time of the incident, Aloha Airlines operated the two highest flight-cycle Boeing 737s in the world, with the incident aircraft being number two.
The captain of the flight was 44-year-old Robert Schornstheimer, an experienced pilot with 8,500 flight hours, 6,700 of which were in Boeing 737s. The first officer was 36-year-old Madeline "Mimi" Tompkins,[ who had significant experience flying the 737, having logged 3,500 of her total 8,000 flight hours in that particular Boeing model.
@@OsirisIxchel Whoa. That's a LOT of cycles. Even more remarkable. Thanks for that. Great information.
@SpareMe If you had listened at all, you'd have heard not one, not two, not three, but four times that I recall, it was mentioned that there was only ONE fatality - CB Lansing.
There is no hope. No-one listens anymore. You were probably filing your nails and talking on the phone and watching a movie and making a sandwich all at once. And did not a one of them well!!!!!!!!!!!
@@lagrangepoint1184 why not both?
Everyone seems to be giving the pilots all the credit here. I'm a pilot myself, and while they certainly did a great job of holding it together and not panicking, the plane was still controllable, so I have to give this one to Boeing. Losing that much of the hull suddenly, the explosive decompression, and the 300 mph winds should have torn that plane apart, but the longitudinal stringers, which were never intended to bear that kind of load, held that plane together against all logic and reason. RIP C.B.
But it was the plane that fell apart...
@@maureenlafortune-pt7cw Fair point, but given that it flew the same short-haul flight to the tune of 90,000 takeoff/landing cycles (!), combined with questionable maintenance and inspection by the airline, I'm still amazed that it didn't completely break up in midair. Even with the cockpit then hanging a meter below the rest of the hull.
@@lagrangepoint1184 I feel like a lot of pilots would panic what they did was very difficult. Also they weren’t trained on any of what happened what makes it extra difficult
I’m not a pilot so you do know your stuff I’m not saying your wrong either just my opinion
Have to add in the lower altitude. If it was at 35-37,000 feet the explosive decompression would have been worse. Also while it could still be controlled, any added force on that airframe could have easily ripped off the front half. It took extremely gently flying to get it back on the ground
The irony of her working in the field for 3 decades and then being sucked out of the plane into the sky to her death if this was her passion she died doing what she loved😔
Good pilots are worth their weight in gold They saved that plane, passengers and crew..
They saved themselves. If they could do it over again, they would have called in sick that day.
Along with God's help....Prayers work!
@@nickv4073 A very inappropriate thing to say. The pilots were heroes.
@@nickv4073 Says the rodent who'll never amount to anything in life.
And they are too often badly treated. Maybe he was kidding me, but I met one who said you have to PAY to get in to the company. It's a huge responsibility, they should be honoured more.
The first time I saw that image on the news, I knew that was a sight I would never forget. That only one person was lost is nothing but a miracle. I hope she never knew what happened.
It also made a difference that, due to being a short flight, the passengers still had their seat belts fastened. Actually, no matter the length of the flight, it is best to keep you seat belt fastened around you, at least loosely. There doesn't have to be a structural or mechanical problem, one of the most frequent incidents that result in injuries is due to turbulence. Severe turbulence can cause people out of their seats or not wearing their seat belts fastened to be thrown from their seats, often hitting their heads against the ceiling other parts of the plane or slammed to the floor. Not unusual to hear about severe incidents of this at least yearly. The main thing is to keep your seat belt fastened and just loose enough to secure you in case of unforeseen events.
I doubt she did. The way they described it, it sounded like the entire upper half of her body was sucked out of the plane. With those winds as strong as they were, her upper half was most likely crushed and her head slammed backwards into the plane. It sounds like an absolutely gruesome way to die but she was most likely killed instantly and didn't suffer at all.
Oh CB, 37 years. Thank you so much for your dedication and passion to your role. I’m sorry it wasn’t kind to you, Resting in paradise i hope CB xx
The flight attendant was a hero as well trying to save others instead her life what an amazing hero .
I could watch this episode 100 times it just fascinates me such an extreme problem handled with professionalism on all levels. Kudos to the crew and may CB rest in Peace for eternity.
Takes special people to pilot planes. I'm a panicker. I'd make a terrible pilot lol
@@meghanmisaliarI know I'ma good nurse in a controlled environment don't know in this type I probably freak out these are brave heroes
Except the flight attendant screaming at people “can you fly a plane!!!” 😂
My Mum, sister and myself flew Aloha Airlines in June 199O and we're unaware of this happening and on landing we came in so fast and hard everything shook violently that overhead storage doors opened and bags fell out. It was the scariest landing we had all ever experienced. Everyone on the plane was worried we weren't going to stop in time. It left us so shaken that we never flew Aloha Airlines ever again.
We found out about this crash years later when we watched this and not surprised about it because it was such a scary landing. My Mum said if she knew about this incident we wouldn't have flown with them only less than 2 years later.
Patricia Aubrey’s and Howard Kitaoka’s interviews got to me today. Cried through a lot of it, not a reaction I’ve had before. The interviewer must have worked well with them in order to get such genuine and open responses.
As many of you have, I’ve watched at least two prior films on the Aloha 243 incident. I still recommend watching this well presented report even if you already know the story. Thank you to Ms Aubrey and Mr Kitaoka for sharing your incredible story of survival. Nobody’s life is perfect but something shows in both of you that you love your lives and have goodness.
Hi how're you doing?
26:01 LOL sorta Patty is going thru the scenarios with a grin, definitely some gallows humor there!
When you see something of concern and don't dare to speak up, game over!
flight attendant Clarabelle "C.B." Lansing, who was swept out of the airplane while standing near the fifth-row seats; her body was never found.😪
Situations like this are the reason I don't feel good about A.I. pilots. This took humans to pull off. An automated plane wouldn't figure out how to make this work because it wouldn't be in the program.
In fact this, and all other final reports *could* actually be in the AI training set - one day soon. But not the next unprecedented scenario.
This episode is definitely the best of them all - very nice historical, forensic, psychological tour de force.
The flip side is think of how many planes have gone down due to pilot error or misjudgment. It seems to be quite a few. Less likely with A/I. Nothing is a 100% solution.
@@Heathcoatman Or I can think of a few examples of suicidal pilots crashing on purpose. Germanwings flight 9525, SilkAir flight 185, EgyptAir flight 990, and Malaysian Airlines flight 370 (probably). So yeah I get your point. But I feel like that risk can at least be mitigated with cockpit procedure and mental health screening. Overall, I still feel better about human pilots being present with AI only there to assist.
@@MakerInMotion Agreed. This has been the argument between Boeing and Airbus for years.
@@Heathcoatman LESS likely? No, the AI will have flaws it can't handle, it's inevitable. The current trend with having a human pilot tending to an auto-pilot to do most of the actual plane controls works well. Putting it fully on to auto pilot will have fatal errors. We can see that with just how many times there have been issues with the autopilot just.... not handling the situation right.
Pilots are big heroes. Also air traffic control officials. Rip CB. She suffered a miserable fate😔🙏
God Bless the pilots on that flight ughh...I think if I was on that plane I would never get on another one ever again no way if I survived. RIP miss Lansing.
i would need clean trousers, not be standing about shaking hands like it was the end of a church service...... astounding, he wasn't even nervous looking. Mimi also, incredible people.
@@Threemore650 why do guys always make that silly "clean shorts" joke??
@@meghanmisaliar I am a girl, dear.
👩🏻🦰
@@Threemore650 🙄 even worse. Dear.
@@meghanmisaliarI think it’s meant to say that it would “scare the sh*t out of me”
Narrator: What's the worst that could happen on an airplane?
Me: I could die.
If not dying, will need new pants and underwear
IDK, I've been seated next to some pretty stinky or annoying people on flights,at the time I thought death was the better alternative. Imagine being seated next to an ablutiphobic person for 6 hours that is quite talkative.
@@skunkdude420 yes, sitting next to someone like that for 6 hours from Seattle to Dallas, was about to go off on the lady. Alcohol and death was the better alternatives to stop hearing question after question...........*my brain going like STFU, STFU STFU!!!!!!!😒*
@@juaniglesias6375 funniest thing that happened to me was a flight where I was flying into Korea on a JAL flight. This woman who may or may not have spoken english, I don't remember hearing her say anything, is seated next to me on a flight that's night-time. Well this is a seating arrangement with triple seats with me on the far left by the window and her on the aisle seat. So she leans over as she goes to sleep and sleeps on the two seats..... mostly. Yeah she eventually shifts far enough left to be laying on me for about an hour. I just.... don't feel like bothering her so I relax and listen to music like I would have if she hadn't been there. Then when it comes time to land she wakes up and realizes she'd been laying on me for over an hour and gets this "OMG I can't believe I did that" look and nervously disappears when we disembark.
Narrator clearly hasn't seen Snakes on a Plane.
Both pilots are heroes. I never been on a airplane but if I ever do go on a airplane I want them for my pilot.
Any observation by a passenger of a particular condition of a plane should be encourage and should immediately reach the attention of those concerned..that this tragedy could have been prevented.. RIP Ms Lansing..Godbless you all 🙏🙏🙏
I agree. I think the passenger was too scared to speak up. I do think the crew needs to listen to the passengers as well .
The pilot and second pilot are the real heroes! 🎸👍
Just hanging out shaking hands afterwards!!! I'd have to run off and change my trousers.
I flew on an Aloha 737-200 a couple years after this. I remember praying for the roof to stay on the entire time.
LOL
You don't like convertibles Paul?? 😂
@@bigdee8189 Not impromptu ones!
I witnessed flight 800 fall from the sky. I haven’t been able to fly w/ expecting the plane to break apart since then. And Did this video say that this 737 flew over 89,000 flights? 😮 wow!
@@bigdee8189 Not the "Roof flies off at 24,000 feet" type anyway. Too cold and windy.
I have flown numerous times but the first time I flew with Eastern airlines back in 83 we were caught in a hurricane Charlie and couldn't land absolutely scary. I haven't flown in years and probably never will again. I remember the one flight the plane was so old it still has ashtrays
It is still statistically the safest mode of transportation. I bet you do not worry so much about car crashes as the likelihood of dying in a fatal car crash is multitudes more probable.
@susan green Hurricane Charley (with a "y" is the correct spelling) was in 1986, not 1983. And airplane passengers were still allowed to smoke till well into 2000, when the FAA banned smoking on all domestic flights, as well as international flights entering the USA. (Did you think airlines were just going to throw out all those perfectly good seats just because they had an ashtray on the armrest?)
Rest in peace CB ❤❤❤ ive been to her memorial garden a few times as a kid and it really is a safe haven from the hectic airport.
It's surreal that many big passenger jets are in the air longer than they are grounded, literally.
That's amazing; I didn't know that. But I did know that some taxi vehicles are driven about 24 hours per day. I put well under 1 hour per day on my car.
@@TheNameOfJesus Yeah if you to go one of those FLightradar websites you can track the journey of individual planes like Boeing 777-300ER are in the air 18 hours per day or something for life, I forget the number, crazy lmao
It makes sense .. sitting on the ground, don't get you paid.
Oh what a horrific way to die. Poor woman.
Can you imagine having the ability to read a manual in those circumstances?
I would like to think I could've.
But I think many if not most of us couldn't have.
Any time I think of the phrase, "Hanging by a thread", I immediately think of this aircraft incident. It's almost like the dictionary definition of the term for me now. :o
Oh yeah, there was a direct-to-TV movie made about Aloha 243, dated 1990, called "Miracle Landing", for anyone who doesn't already know. I saw that movie growing up, it was a bit scary back then. -~-
RIP Clarabelle Lansing (CB).
The passenger’s initial concern when boarding the plane is reminiscent of the Friends episode where Phoebe is worried about the plane’s phalange. Parts of this episode literally brought tears to my eyes.
10:56 The most amazing thing about this is that they're filming a scene where the roof gets ripped off their plane in mid-flight and they still are managing to overact.
15:35 'You're breaking up...'. He did not know how true those words really were.
That was an amazing bit of flying by these pilots. Computers never would have saved that plane. This is almost too scary to watch. What those people went through was terrifying. I think ifcthat happened to me when I was in Hawaii, I'd have found a boat to California and then taken a train to Chicago.
Rip CB may you now find peace
Much was learned from this accident. The industry now conducts aging aircraft inspections (AAI) from which results are analyzed by the operator.
Most accidents seem to be maintenance issues. Might just be the perspective I've gained watching RUclips. Modern planes are so well built, with correct maintenance, they'll last indefinitely. It took the Brits 10 years after WWII to create commercial planes from all they'd learned in the War. The Russians were not nearly as good as they merely converted military stock, put some nice tables and chairs in...... The commercial flying world exists because of De Havilland.
@@Threemore650 Modern planes are so well built because the technology is paid in blood.
@@disappearintothesea that could unfortunately be said of many advancements in research & technologies
I don't see any plans flying that much by the ocean lasting indefinitely. Metal fatigue
It’s amazing the debris didn’t take out an engine or even worst the tail or stabilizer!!! Also amazing they didn’t complete lose all flight controls!!
Most flight controls run along the cabin floor, which is why cargo decompressions were more deadly until vents were installed to equalize pressure and prevent the caving in floor from damaging the flight controls
OMG, only 4:00 into this story do we see what happened! I would NOT get onto a plane with VISIBLE structural damage. 🤦
Follow your instincts and don't listen to the SHEEPLE rushing to their own deaths! To me the JOURNEY is the destination. People in such a damn rush don't really think about safety.
The life perspective of these surviving people must have changed incredibly after these extraordinary incident. They must be so grateful about life.
They probable have awful ptsd
@@dodgyyoutuber9560 Probably not, they are likely happy to be alive and grateful for the opportunity
@@freddexta3363 no they definitely have ptsd
@@dodgyyoutuber9560 Because every single human who goes through a possibly life threatening situation necessarily ends up experiencing ptsd, is that your argument?
@@freddexta3363 if you ever a watch an interview or documentary with survivors of incidents like this they are typically so stoic and aged beyond their their years. Often expressing survivors guilt and difficulty reintegrating into normal society
They need to put out some new videos. I'm with the others on here - same old videos with a brand new name. I'm sad for the victims yes. However some new content would be great.
its because not many air crashes happen anymore if yk what i mean
they have to post more vids than there are crashes
'
I don't think the show is airing anymore. I originally watched these MANY years ago.
That means more crashes. We don’t want that.
@@mikedineen7857 Absolutely, Mike!!!
Agree👍
How is it possible a passenger notices the tear on the surface by the door and yet the maintenance crew dont i mean the tear was big enough even for the eyes to see let alone a small microtear...
Only 2:30 in and I think it's metal fatigue.
Allot of very short flights like that makes the perfect conditions for metal fatigue to happen far before if would happen otherwise.
89000 flights!!!
How was that plane still allowed to fly?..
i think they're failing to recognize some breathtaking views!
😂
Amazing job by the pilots. WOW !!!!! Just WOW !!!!
INSANE! This story makes it sound totally terrorizing! I remember when I was little and seeing this on the news! I thought wow that's great they made it. But this story was way crazier than I thought at the time!
I remember when this happened. We were soon going to fly to the Bahamas. It was my first time ever to fly. This nearly stopped me from going on the trip. It was only a few weeks away.
But you went and did it anyway? I hope you had a great holiday, you're very brave. I grew up in the back of a Cessna, my parents were amateur pilots. Every flippin' weekend at Blackbush Airport, bored out of my tiny mind. Sometimes, I got left in the control tower being baby-sat by the control bloke while my parents looped loops. But these days I don't feel quite so relaxed for some reason.... probably due to watching all these vids.
Same here. I didn't see the footage and didn't know about this event. My friend and co-worker did and she was PETRIFIED for the flight to Jamaica. I probably would have cancelled had I known.
Not sure what's more disturbing: having kids in a notoriously scary little plane or leaving them w someone in the control tower...
I flew to Hawaii 2 years prior to this. The short inter island trips put lots more stress on planes.
The lady who said that guardian angel saved her, angels do not work like that. That comment is an insult to CB Lansing’s loved ones. She is saying, in so many worlds that CB life wasn’t worth saving. Angels works in making sure God’s will is accomplished. Her death was nothing more than an accident. She’s is in Gods memory. He promises to bring back those who died in a healed world. Psalm 37. My sincere condolences to her family.
Hopefully they took good care of that flight attendants family with pension or whatever after 37 years of service.
I'm sure they did. FA's have to have insurance.
They're treated like garbage now. But I know a travel agent that could fly anywhere--worldwide, for her LIFETIME.
I hope with all my heart that Ms. Lansing was completely unaware of her fate.
On the day this happened, I was in labor with and gave birth to my youngest daughter. I remember hearing about this. CB, rest in peace.
How old are you?
Sad about the flight attendant. RIP
There were at least 2 people that noticed a possible structural problem before this flight, one of them an expert, and said nothing! Why not? Why don’t people speak up? Afraid of being misjudged? Feeling foolish, if no problem found? Damn! Not me! I’d much rather risk being judged a fool, if it meant saving lives! Mine included!
Any time you see popped rivets and/or pieces of the aircraft skin separating from each other (especially near or around doors and windows), tell the flight attendants or if you see one of them, a pilot. Don't assume the airline is aware of it as it could have happened during the last flight or series of flights.
It's better we tell. Prevention is better and is the best. We can't be lucky enough to survive air accidents
Hard to know now, but my guess would be that they flight attendants would just assure you it is normal as they trust their maintenance team and the damage is just superficial or cosmetic. Especially since something like this never happened before.
45:43 so poor CB was accidentally responsible that the roof of the plane blew off, how horrible. RIP
@@wioi It is one of the explanations, but ntsb did not confirm this was the case.
It’s amazing how The pilots handled the altitude drop and the speed control. They deserve a commendation for this.
The crew of this plane did the impossible. The Captain and First Officer are to be commended and then some.....
Flew from Oahu to Maui last week - the plane was every bit as beat down as the one in the video - even though it was a 20 minute flight I hated every minute of it and was convinced it was going to come apart mid-air. They ride the airlines hard down in the islands.
I've seen another video or two about this, but this one was amazingly detailed and well-presented.
“DO WE HAVE A PILOT?”
“I DON’T KNOW!”
“CAN I HAVE A DIET PEPSI????????????????”
😂😂
A very emotional documentary, this video has been saved on my 'watch later' folder for several weeks now until i got a time to actually watch this. I learned a lot, kudos to the captain, first officer, cabin crew, passengers, first responders, emergency staff, air traffic controllers, and other ground personnel . Y'all made a great teamwork during a very horrifying event. I also appreciate those investigators. And most of all, thank God for givng you all second chances to live, we humbly praise him. I love planes, i love aviation, I learned a lot from this video. Thanks you.
I’ve watched many of these cases and a large percentage of them are centered around lack of maintenance and the airlines push to save as much money as possible by cutting corners on maintenance. When will they learn?
This is just so sad to see, 37 years of being flight attendant - since first jet ever came out, you're perusing your career and lifegoal, just trying to get over your everyday life routine and just random thing happen and it's done, not even talking about passengers who paid to get a ticked and just expected to be on another island in few hours....
She literally kept working as a flight attendant until she died.
It amazes me that the functional part of the plane that controls the plane were still intact so they could land it.
Dumb luck?
Lmao i know theyre actors but the way the pilot looks at her when she asks "can we maintain altitude" was perfect. Like "Really? Are you seriously asking me this?"
Seems like no one is dealing with the fact is that the roof area is where the "Combi" option can be added to your 737-200 at the last minute during manufacturing. In other words you can have have a cargo door put exactly in that spot or they will tack a roof in during the last stages of assembly on these models; that is why it broke off where it did. The guy who said that if it had broke off at the floor the aircraft would be doomed, shows he really doesn't understand how these aircraft are inherently weak in the "Cargo Door" area. Would like to see some more local knowledge from the experts on some of these investigations. Greg Feith is my man, and as you can see in his wrap up he discusses not only the maintenance of aging aircraft but also new manufacturing techniques and my belief is that this is a reference to the practice of installing cargo doors or passenger configuration during the last part of assembly. Not sure of all the birds Boeing has done this with but I can say that the 727 and 737 early models for sure, even the 707 I believe.
surprised no one has said this cause thats what it looks like, a cargo opening. But I bet if they ever find the fuselage theyll find CC stuck in it.
There was a tv movie about this when I was about 12. That movie is the reason I never take my seatbelt off during flights unless I absolutely have to.
What movie?
@@meghanmisaliar _Miracle Landing,_ also known as _Panic In the Sky,_ which aired Feb. 11, 1990 on CBS. Pretty sure it's somewhere on RUclips, if you look. It's not terrible, by the standards of made-for-TV-movies.
I used to work for Aloha. This was one of the oldest planes in the fleet.
In 1988 me and a good friend went to Jamaica shortly after this accident. I didn't know anything about it. It had a huge impact on her and she was TERRIFIED to fly. I didn't understand why. I now know why decades later.
Terrified with good reason. Airplanes are not infallible. Built by humans. Humans make errors.
Can’t believe they uploaded another video that they have already done a episode for
the shows over they dont make anything new. So ofc this is just reuploads
Whoever's in charge treats youtube uploads like TV reruns
right? I've seen channels get takedowns just because they used the exact same opening spiel, yet this channel uploads whole episodes that are exactly the same and nothing
They all do that
I agree. , they are trying to pass off this video like it's new...I've seen every single episode made
I wasn't there but remember seeing the plane in the news like it was yesterday. I heard it was stress failure but this the first detailed documentary Ive seen of what happened.
Gosh....I went to Jamaica shortly after this event. My friend and co-worker was petrified to fly because she saw the news footage of this. I didn't. I'm glad I didn't. I probably would have cancelled my trip.
the worse part of this that hurt is CB Lansing was never found and to imagine what was going through her head when being sucked out. God bless her and everyone. on that plane was given a second chance but one I guess it was CB time to go
I'm sure she was unconscious when it happened
She was in the air for 37 years. Eventually her luck was gonna run out.
@@meghanmisaliaryour disgusting
The plane was built to have a 20 year life span and yet they were still flying it way past its expiration date. Glue, bolts, epoxy, hairline cracks, metals, wiring, etc all expire.
It's frustrating and sad how a passenger noticed something was wrong with the plane.
If she voiced her concern a woman's life would have been saved.
I have seen cracks in a plane before and reported it, and they dismissed it.
But yes, she should have said something.
God Bless CB, I couldn’t even imagine her terror while being sucked out of an airplane and falling while the whole time she could’ve possibly been awake.
Seeing some of the older female passengers standing by the plane looking like they’re waiting on line for a table at a restaurant is twilight zone strange. Miracle for sure🎉
This series man, this series.😮
I remember hearing about this, poor stewardess! It's a miracle that there weren't more casualties. Mad respect to the captain and co captain for a safe landing!
But did you get the import of the engineer's theory?
If the engineer is correct insofar as the sequence of events, it may be that the flight attendant's body plugged a smaller hole momentarily, allowing the depressurization to occur less rapidly. Air is an incmpressible fluid, so the rate at which the plane depressurized would have been dependent on the size of the hole. By slowing the rate of decompression down by a just fractions of seconds, thus allowing the pressure inside to equalize with the outside air slightly more gradually, the resulting damage would be less than if the decompression happened all-at-once in a solitary instant burst.
What he is postulating, is that CB's body provided a very brief and not entirely airtight "plug" - yet nevertheless sufficient to have prevented even greater structural loss and damage.
It may well be this stopped the fuselage from disintegrating entirely in half, and that the loss of her life in this manner contributed to the others being saved.
Just wait. The FAA is actually considering ways to reduce crew to a single pilot. More automation.
More episodes surely to come then. Unfortunately.
The industry has actually already been working on pilotless planes... for years.
@@Bellasie1 yeah, and failing. Automation is fine, but inherently limited. You need a Human pilot to make sure it works right.
Remember when Sully comented on taking the 'human factor out of the equation' ( or something to that effect). I don't think he would approve, and I would trust his opinion first.
@@robertrobinson3861 Fun fact, given the information Sully had, he could've flown back to the airport safely if he made that decision immediately. He didn't because he's a human with limited computational power and limited senses. A computer could've taken in all the information and made several simulations and plotted a course to save the plane multiple times over in less than a second.
@@SuperPickle15 Quoted on the news some time after the event: 'The documents, released as the National Transportation Safety Board prepared to consider safety lessons from the accident, show that if pilot Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger had immediately attempted to return to LaGuardia after ingesting geese into both engines the Airbus A320 would have made it - barely.' (end of Quote) It has also been revealed since then, that the pilots using simulators to prove they cound make it back to the airport in time, had taken advantage of the fore-knowledge that the engines were going to fail. Even a computer would not have been able to predict that.
For me, one of the saddest things is to see a broken aircraft on the ground.
A broken one in the air is quite disappointing too.... especially if you're on it!
It's really rather miraculous that it made it to the ground in 1 piece
@micheleh5269, it had one last job to do, and it did that job.
Minus CJ sucked out, that is.
87,000 cycles? That bird was flown to death.
Nothing lasts forever. Even planes get tired and fall apart, like cars.
And people lol
I have never heard of a plane ✈️ coming apart like that. That would be terrifying. So glad if all the survivors and so sorry for the loss of the longest established worker that had lost her life. She loved what she did. May she RIP! 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Look up the DC-10. 9 people sucked out or thrown into engine.
I was on a trip to Lexington Kentucky for Rolex 3 day event when this happened. Made me scared to fly back, but made it back safe.
Wow. What an exciting story. Thx for sharing 🙄
Megan u don't care don't u...
When newspapers were still relevant, I remember reading about this the day after it happened. What used to be the saying before social media (newspapers, television news and news radio): read about it tomorrow, watch it tonight or listen to it now. Had this happen today, someone probably would have FaceTimed it while it was happening.
I can still see the headlines and pictures in my mind. My dad was obsessed with airplanes, and brought multiple newspapers home anytime there was a major incident.
The reenactment of this is astounding! Great job!
I like this case studies on flight disasters. Lately they have been putting out anthologies like four parts on a plane that can break . I did not find those as interesting. My favorites of course are ones like this where the flight crew does an amazing job and lands the plan with no or minimal loss of life. Of course, they can't all end that way. But one case examined in depth oer video is best
I remember seeing the landed plane it looked like a can of tuna
Peeled back.
However the pilot was amazing the landing flawless
It was a convertible! : \
And these episodes are what keeps me on the ground. The floor beams were the only thing holding it together..If there had been no pilots they’d have been down already.
What?? well, yeah. Driving is a billion times more dangerous, tho.
Those pilots are truly heroes
"Say again? You're breaking up." Pilot: "Yes we are!!"
2 Of this Flight Members... and The Two Pilots... In this Video👏🏽🖖🏽Thumbs Up
It is shocking that the pilot was able to land the plane. Also shocking that more lives were not lost. Boeing deserves some credit here for making such a resilient aircraft, even in one of it's early iterations. The fact that aircraft became safer as a result of the accident is a positive message and the mission of the NTSB, one of the best detective agencies in our federal government. Hats off to them. It is unfortunate that the flight crew was not buckled in due to the short flight, the airline should revisit that policy. The memorial garden for CB is fitting tribute to a hard worker who never got to enjoy retirement. I hope that is maintained in perpetuity.
