A Boeing 737 takes off under clear and sunny conditions, but when the plane reaches its cruising altitude of 24000 feet, the pilots hear a loud bang. What has happened is incredible, a huge chunk of the plane’s roof and walls is missing, right down to the passengers’ feet. They are flying in a convertible! Are you able to figure out what caused a chunk of the plane's roof to blow off and go missing? From Season 3 Episode 1 "Hanging By A Thread": April 1998 – Aloha Airlines Flight 243 - one of the flight attendants isn’t so lucky, she has been sucked out of the plane. Her body is never found. Donning their oxygen masks, the pilots struggle to control a plane that is suddenly in danger of breaking in two. In the cockpit, the noise of the wind makes it necessary for the crew to communicate with hand signals. They know they have to get the plane down to a safe altitude quickly or the passengers will begin to suffer from oxygen starvation, and ultimately die. However, they don’t know if the seriously damaged plane’s landing gear is operational. One of the warning lights has not come on. The flight crew has no choice, but to risk it. Miraculously, the plane lands safely and all survive. Welcome to the OFFICIAL Mayday: Air Disaster YouTube Channel.
