Unlocking Disaster Part 5 - Air crash investigation/Mayday

A Boeing 747 operating as United Airlines Flight 811 from Los Angeles to Auckland is above the Pacific Ocean when part of the RH forward fuselage rips off. An electrical short circuit caused the cargo door lock mechanism to fail and the cargo door was blown open by the force of the cabin pressurization. Nine people are ejected from the aircraft; some are still strapped to their seats. The Boeing 747 safely lands at Honolulu without any more loss of life.

The Campbells are dedicated people, and may have saved more lives forcing the NTSB to admit the truth of this accident.

This New Zealand couple were extraordinarily brave, dedicated and persistent in their effort to get to the truth.

I would like to thank the Campbell's personally, for they have inspired my life. Thank you, thank you, thank you and God Bless.

[Clipstreu]

Ppl r trashing the airlines but they don't realize a 300 person plane grounded 4 10 hours=5-7 flights=$1-1.4m

@Kaitlynzxk reality check - NO they are NOT - we live in a world of highly limited resources - people are not one of it - there are just too many around - life is cheap - it is the FACT of life whether one likes to accept it or not

[namsak]

Highly articulate, intelligent, educated people with money and time.

Was there ever an airline or air transport safety board’s worst nightmare ?

Interesting that there was no comment from Government or jail sentences for the Chief Executives.

[gedasFX]

@Kaitlynzxk

[Kaitlynzxk]

Why these companies only care about profit? People are more precious isn't it

[kobifuzz1]

We need people like the Campbells running the NTSB.
