A lot of people on this one sure were glad they had an experienced pilot.

Imagine bringing this jewel down from 24,000 feet and back to the airport and landing safely...ON ONE DAMAGED ENGINE!

Aloha Airlines Flight 243

I know they said “metal fatigue” but I still think this was a bombing and they didn’t want to admit it.

That was amazing. The engines had a design flaw that caused them to flame out under the rare conditions that the plane was in.

It was a 737 actually.

Nope! One flight attendant was sucked out when it came apart in flight.

They never found her body.
