On April 28, 1988, Aloha Airlines flight 243 took off from Hawaii’s Hilo International Airport. The flight was traveling to Honolulu, less than an hour away. The weather was glorious, and conditions were optimal, but just a few minutes after take-off a massive boom suddenly jolted the entire plane. Without any warning, the roof covering the first-class cabin was explosively ripped away! Passengers and flight crew panicked. Would they be sucked out into the big blue sky? Would they be able to make an emergency landing? Would the rest of the plane break apart at any minute? If you want to find out what happened, stay tuned, as we take off into this terrifying story, and many more like it!
