Aloha Airlines Flight 243 (AQ 243, AAH 243) was a scheduled Aloha Airlines flight between Hilo and Honolulu in Hawaii. On April 28, 1988, a Boeing 737-200 serving the flight suffered extensive damage after an explosive decompression in flight, but was able to land safely at Kahului Airport on Maui. The only fatality was flight attendant C.B. Lansing who was blown out of the airplane. Another 65 passengers and crew were injured.

  • I like the ending of this episode – "There is one further legacy of that fateful day. The ocean never did surrender the body of CB Lansing. Instead, a memorial garden honoring the veteran flight attendant was planted at the Honolulu airport beneath the big Hawaiian sky where she spent the better part of her life, and where it was so suddenly ended."

  • Knap dat ze hem toch geland hebben

    But the plane did not crash....

  • Poor CB. She should have retired sooner... :(

  • the ending is so sad

  • This and the "Blow Out" episode are my two favorite ACI episodes, partly because both planes successfully landed. RIP CB Lansing. Despite such a horrendous, sudden way to die, I don't think she had time to comprehend it, let alone suffer much. Chances are, she was sucked out instantly during the decompression, and with all the debris and wind, she probably died instantly.

  • the 1st officer is very attractive :p

  • @MrRoyalSatin That and a slash severing those

  • Something that small would seem so insignificant to anyone who doesn't know any better...

  • 4:14 stick to porn, love. You're trying way too hard.

  • at 3:55 there a couple of 6 bolts by the doorway are very loose, and that's whay may have cause the plane to crash...

  • "What's the worst that could happen on a airplane.... maybe this". A perfect tagline to describe this accident
