On April 28, 1988, an Aloha Airline's Boeing 737-297 flying between Hilo and Honolulu in Hawaii suffered an extensive damage with one-third of its roof blown off due to metal fatigue and corrosion. As the Aloha Airline's Flight 243 suddenly lost altitude, passengers began singing hymns and bracing for a crash. Thirteen minutes after the explosion, the pilot landed the 19 year old aging aircraft safely at Kahului Airport on Maui. The passengers onboard were quickly evacuated from the aircraft through the emergency evacuation slides. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GcU0mJaik2g?t=41 See the illustration and the actual aircraft (@1.57 mins) moments after landing During the explosion, 58 year-old flight attendant Clarabelle Lansing was ejected from the airplane and was never found . About 65 passengers out of 89 and crew were injured. An aerospace engineer who was aboard the plane with his wife said "The stewardess had just said, 'Would you like one more drink? She was handing my wife a glass when suddenly she disappeared" Most of the survivors congratulated the Pilot Robert Schornstheimer for his seemingly miraculous landing. One of them said : "I give credit to the pilot," "He brought that plane down so smoothly. It was just like riding in a Cadillac." It was a miraculous fit to land the aging aircraft with passengers exposed to open sky and high winds at an altitude of over 24,000 feet over the Pacific because, in theory , a Boeing 737 with nearly one-third of its roof blown off should not be able to fly.

In those days I watched a movie titled Miraculous landing which depicted exactly the incident the OP posted. It was indeed a miracle that the damaged plane was landed. Unfortunately some crew members and passengers were carried away by the wind. I congratulate the pilot for his bravery. Also a very courageous air hostess who did wonderfully well calming down the passengers until landing |

This is why I like Boeing, in case of a difficult situation and for short flights, Boeing really has my vote. |

afroxyz: Give Praise to God when u see a miracle! Their are better and more qualified pilots who died from air mishap. It wasn't the pilots doing.or was it the pilot that stopped atmospherric pressure from sucking out the passengers from the plane whose roof was already torn off? 21 Likes 3 Shares |
