the people survived on Aloha 243

[weirdosack]

Your first video!?

[FLT111]

@weirdosack Yep! My very first video of ATC recordings! dates back to 2007. I've been on youtube since July 2007

[saints093]

Cool, Mimi Tompkins is still flying but now with United Airlines, whatever happened to the Captain from Aloha Flight 243? Can't spell the name, but can pronounce it, just curious about him, and the flight attendants that survived as well. :)

[CopesteticUnion401]

This was on 1000 ways to die

[charliemottimelord]

thank god Patricia Aubry swiched seats.

[terryk1233]

Roger, copy, and 10-4 are frowned upon in aviation. Big time.

[N4g426]

@terryk1233 roger and copy are said all the time

[NytroDesigns]

if you look at the one image you can see a blood ring where her head hit the fuselage of the plane

[Octoberpunk]

it broke on FL240

[RunTheRockers]

even if only 1 person died on an incident, it is still devestaing.

[FLT111]

yeah it is

[darazarbaf]

roger means ok

[rupanamika]

what is mean by "rojar" or "rajar" its normally use by pilots and atc

[adpon]

getting sucked out intact is prolly better than getting sucked out through a small crack like the byford dolphin diving bell incident. check it out on wiki. nonetheless sad that the flight attendant died.

[redslownight]

the flight attendant got sucked out of her body? Ouch. I hope you mean the planes body 0.o

[oooDrPepperooo]

@ redslownight: FLT111 is an bad speller. But especially for u with punctuation marks:

"This is a tribute to flight attendant CB who tragically got sucked out. Her body was never recovered."

U are a clever shit, right??

[FLT111]

i relised that my self and i didnt do this recently for your information this was done two years ago and i wasnt a good speller back then im sorry if this effects you.

[redslownight]

listen, i was just joking. Im sorry ok? =(

[oooDrPepperooo]

After all that flight attendand died and u´re jokin at her???? U might be an real dipshit, sorry.

[redslownight]

wow fuck you man, i just said i was sorry. Dipshit, you gunna start crying now?

[frenchkids]

You shouldn't go round casting aspersions with regards to spelling when you put "an bad speller"instead of "a bad speller". You committed a similar offence in another comment. Always be vigilant when attacking spelling and grammar to ensure that you don't shot yourself in the foot.

[ThePowerofThe0tak]

@oooDrPepperooo "FLT111 is an bad speller"? and you are?

[FLT111]

@ThePowerofThe0tak look shut the f*** up stop talking about peoples spelling dickhead.

[bennjr]

Um, did that guy in the control tower just say he'll have "an amubluance" on the way???!!! As in ambulance in the singular??!!

[sioux0863]

although he did say that.. im sure that he knew there needed to be more than just one

[EinkOLED]

Boeing had to reinforce the lap joints with external doublers on all 737 aircraft exceeding 50,000 cycles after this incident.

The newer 737 NG's have a modified fuselage different to the classics, mostly to allow the extra pressure difference that the classic would otherwise fail.

[footyspoak]

cool, thanks

[rtyugjyuh86]

one people died :(

[matelue]

One whole people? That must be millions..how did they fit into the plane?

[jonesy97]

Lmao! An entire race of people vanished in a flash!

[zamg289]

I don't think I put my comment in the right place, or maybe it's just how it looks to me, but my last one is a reply to KnightMD, not Brianyankkefan, which is what I'm seeing.

If this makes no sense then there probably wasn't a problem to begin with and ignore it.

[thejumpsuitman]

I left Hawaii for the mainland on a United flight that same day and found out about flight 243 when we landed. Talk about freaked out! We had just flown several Aloha flights all that week.

[MMSband737]

My father flew with both Bob and Mimi when he was an Aloha airlines 737-200 F/O. He says that after that accident they both always feel paranoid on the plane. I can see why....

[Brianyankeefan]

i know bob retired what happened with mimi after the shutdown? did she catch on with another airline?

[RickMakesGoodVideos]

@Brianyankeefan No she stayed but the good news is that she is now a captain

[RickMakesGoodVideos]

@Brianyankeefan She is still flying but the good news is that she is the captain but since Aloha Airlines is gone I think she is with United

[zamg289]

Buddy, making stuff up doesn't make it true.

The only reason I know that the protocol was different 20 years ago was because what I was reading mentioned how this accident and the poor emergency response lead to revamping the protocol.

In regard to the ambulances and their placement, it doesn't matter what you or I "think" about where they should of been, what we're talking about is the fact of where they were at that time...and unfortunately it wasn't at the airport.

[MMSband737]

What the hell are you talking about buddy?

[KnightMD]

"You're gonna need an ambulance?" - how retarded. I used to be an ER Physician at Cairo International Airport, and whenever an emergency is announced, all 30 doctors, 4 ambulances, and all the firefighter trucks automatically assemble at the landing site with a single call. The pilot doesn't need to "Ask for an ambulance".

[zamg289]

KnightMD-

Medic? I don't know. Relevance? None. I might not be an EMT history buff like you, but I can look up FACTS.

You should be aware, before going off, that there wasn't any precedent there for this situation. There were also only a few ambulances on the ENTIRE island!!

I guess anyone could easily make the mistake that protocol NOW in one place must surely be exactly the same as protocol 20 years ago in a completely different place. Ummmm....

So what sounds, as you said, "retarded" now?

[KnightMD]

Actually protocol NOW was mostly the same 20 years ago. No drastic changes. Not to the effect you are proposing.

If there are "a few" ambulances on the island? Don't you think A) One belongs in the airport B) It's a small island so one should be "on call", if "A" is not possible?

It is retarded.

[cybervisionstar]

wow what a brave woman I want to meet her!!!

[ke200]

wow, they really over-dramatized it in aircrash investigation O.o

[astat1]

I don't think so. Pay attention to the last sentences: "How many are injured?" "We have no idea". It was a real drama.

[Rickyrab]

go! should be ashamed for Predatory Pricing. It is a cheap trick and it is not nice or fair to the industry as a whole. Aloha should be ashamed for not showing Gov. Lingle their balance sheet and for shutting down with abrupt suddenness. At least Amtrak is required to give advance notice when it shuts anything down. Why not require the airlines to do same?

[Camsynth]

today, March 31 2008, is the last day of Aloha Airlines passenger service. );

[utubegeneration]

the pogues- yeah yeah yeah yeah -1988

[jway212]

the plane number is 711

[jway212]

this is a true fact and if you read the documents it will say airplane 711. all of you who dosent know anythnig about commercial aviation they call the planes by the plane number. Think about it

[adamscott1988]

if you look at the pictures once the plane had landed you can see a halo of blood where the flight atetendants skull got crushed

[zerocool794]

true facts :Mimi Tompkins still flying with aloha she's the capt. shes very sweet as a person, when she comes to Oak- station .. she gives hugs to the employees .. and shakes everyones hands .. I know this 'caused I'm the guy the gives the Weight N' Balance to her every time she flys out of OAkland ... by-the-way .. OAkland Station Rocks!!!!

[uncleluck]

A very sad day indeed. When the overhead space above the cabin blew away, a flight atendant was sucked out over the sea.

[stormchaser3751]

" One tiny crack blew apart the roof"

[xanlu]

i think that was the voice from Mimi Tompkins, the co-pilot... she did not panic at all X:)

[phillyslasher]

If my info is correct, she is still flying with Aloha, and is in the left seat now. Her and the captain did some good flying and made a perfect landing.

[xanlu]

good to hear that :)

[RickMakesGoodVideos]

@phillyslasher yea she is but what happed to the captain

[michaelpece]

i dont get how they can tell what they r saying, its like, ffff pppp kkkkkk, wtf, how can he understand it?

[FLT111]

it was because the roof had come off mate and that why

[michaelpece]

oh yer, but i couldnt head the controller either!

[FLT111]

lol becuse the comunication it from cockpit

[FLT111]

yes i know it was scary abit it was on air crash investigation

[wizardschool]

I recall vividly seeing a documentary on this major incident. The crew all deserve the highest praise for an extremely fantastic job, done within extreme conditions. I see they erected a tribute memorial to veteran crew member "CB." A very sad ending to an extremely well handled disaster.

[FLT111]

Oh and thank you for putting this is as your favorite
