It may sound strange, but this is not a fictional story, but a true incident.

Unimaginable incident: When the roof of a moving plane flew away

The day of April 28, 1988 will never be forgotten in the world of aeroplanes. Aloha Airlines Flight 243, flying from Hawaii's Hilo International Airport to Honolulu, met with an accident that shocked not only the people on board the plane but the entire world. According to a report in the Washington Post, when the plane was at an altitude of 24,000 feet, a large part of its roof suddenly flew off.

The lives of passengers and crew members are at risk

There were a total of 89 people on board the plane, whose lives were in grave danger at that time. But the bravery and understanding of pilot Robert Schornstheimer and his team saved the lives of people in this difficult situation. The pilot and crew members tried their best to keep the passengers safe without caring about their own lives, which makes this incident even more special.

How did this accident happen?

Shortly after the plane took off, the pilot heard a loud explosion and the plane began to shake rapidly. Within moments, a large portion of the roof was torn off and flew into the air. At that time, the pressure of the plane cabin suddenly decreased and the passengers as well as the crew members began to swing in the air.

The understanding of the pilot and the crew saved their lives

During this accident, the pilot did not lose his patience. He immediately understood the situation and turned the plane towards emergency landing. The crew members also did a commendable job to keep the passengers calm and safe. They immediately instructed the passengers to wear oxygen masks and fasten seat belts, which helped them deal with the difficulties during the flight.

What happened after the accident?

In this incident, the roof of the plane was blown off, but the rest of its structure was strong, which prevented the plane from breaking in the air. The pilot immediately made an emergency landing and thus saved the lives of all the passengers. Although one crew member died in this incident, all the other passengers were safe. This accident raised many questions about air safety around the world and after this many changes were made in the safety standards of airplanes. This accident showed that no matter how difficult the situation is, if the pilot and crew members work wisely, then even the most difficult situation can be overcome. This incident of Allahabad Airlines Flight 243 is still considered one of the most unbelievable incidents of air travel, which hardly anyone can forget.
