April 28, 1988: The Roof of an Aloha Airlines Jet Ripped Off in Mid-Air at 24,000 Feet, But the Plane Still Managed to Land Safely!

quote [ It was just another routine inter-island flight when an Aloha Airlines jet took off from Hilo, bound for Honolulu, on April 28, 1988. Cruising at 24,000 feet, an 18-foot section of the plane’s roof suddenly ripped off, causing an explosive decompression, creating a gaping hole in the fuselage and sucking a flight attendant out of the plane. ]

The wonderful world of aloha is waiting to welcome you home

Well, I certainly hope this little incident hasn't put you off flying. Statistically speaking, of course, it's still the safest way to travel.

Wasn't 1988 when all of the airline disaster movies were at their peak?
