Hanging By A Thread Part 1 - Air Crash Investigation/Mayday

Aloha Airlines Flight 243 is en route from Hilo to Honolulu in Hawaii with 95 passengers and crew. Fuselage skin lap joints, badly damaged by corrosion resulting from a fault at manufacture, and by metal fatigue, give way and a section of the roof between the cockpit and the leading edges of the wings is torn off. The aircraft manages an emergency landing at Kahului, Maui. A flight attendant blown out of the cabin is the only fatality.

I was in Oahu, Hawaii in 1988 on a 6 week surfing holiday at the time and was planning on flying to Hilo on the Big Island. I could've been on that plane. However, rather than fly that week I decided to stay on the North Shore Oahu for another week as I was enjoying the surfing too much. A couple of days later a Hawaiian surfer I knew was making jokes about 'flying a convertible airplane'. It's like playing russian roulette.
