Emergency Ditching Off Oahu — Live ATC from Transair Flight 810

July 2, 2021 In the early morning hours, Transair Flight 810 — a Boeing 737-200 cargo jet — departed Honolulu for Kahului, Maui. Shortly after takeoff, the crew reported engine trouble and struggled to identify the failing engine. In the confusion, they shut down the wrong one and couldn’t maintain altitude, forcing the aircraft to ditch into Māmala Bay off Oahu about 11 minutes into the flight. Both pilots survived and were rescued by Coast Guard units — but the dash for an emergency landing turned into a tense night in the Pacific. We'll walk through the ATC exchanges, critical decisions, and what went wrong on this near-miracle flight. 👍 Like & Subscribe for more ATC alerts and cockpit drama! --------------------------------------------- Source Information: Audio communication: https://www.liveatc.net
