Have you ever imagined that the roof of a plane flew away in a moving airplane? Actually this has really happened. Let's know how people's lives were saved?

For many people, flight travel is very exciting. They like flying in the sky. At the same time, for many people, flight travel is related to everyday life. Although people also have a lot of faith in this, but imagine that you are at a height of 24 thousand feet from the ground and what will happen if the roof of your plane flies away? You must be feeling strange to even imagine this! But let us tell you that this is not a story but a truth.

When the roof flew away from the moving plane

According to the Washington Post report, on April 28, 1988, Flight 243 of Aloha Airlines flying from Hilo International Airport in Hawaii to Honolulu became a victim of an incident that shook the world. You will be surprised to know that at an altitude of 24,000 feet, a large part of the roof of the plane suddenly flew into the air. This incident was extremely scary and unbelievable. The lives of 89 people on board the plane were in danger, but the bravery and immediate decision of the pilot and crew members saved many lives in this accident.

How did the roof of the plane fly off?

Soon after the plane took off, the pilot heard a loud explosion and the plane started shaking. Within a few moments, a large part of the roof of the plane burst and flew into the air. The pressure in the cabin suddenly decreased and the passengers and crew members started flying in the air.

At that time, pilot Robert Schornstheimer maintained his patience even in this dire situation. He immediately turned the plane for emergency landing. Also, the crew members also played a special role in calming the passengers and keeping them safe. He asked the passengers to wear oxygen masks and fasten the seat belts. Although the roof of the plane had flown off, the rest of the plane was strong. This saved the plane from breaking in the air and the pilot got a chance to make an emergency landing. The passengers also remained calm during this difficult time and fully supported the pilot and crew members.
