Boeing 737 That Started Disintegrating Mid-Flight | Mayday: Air Disaster

What caused Flight 243 lose body panels?

I’ve watched many of these cases and a large percentage of them are centered around lack of maintenance and the airlines push to save as much money as possible by cutting corners on maintenance. When will they learn?

I think it's ok to clap after that landing

Not the first time Boeing tearing apart.

IMHO the NTSB was likely right in their assessment of the preventative measures learnt from this tragic incident with the maintenance failure compounding the metal stress with the amount of cycles the aircraft was used but the man who suggested fluid power was likely correct in describing the sequence of events; it was most probable indeed one weak spot teared out and the fail-safe worked as it should but then fluid power compounded with the weakness of the rest of the airplane ripped the entire roof of the 737. (You'd presume the entire frame is stressed, but the break likely started at one weakest point first than just an entire roof ejected.) It all likely happened quickly hence the witness testimony that the flight attendant went up and then to the left.

As gruesome as it may seem to be, this would kinda explain why they couldn't find the flight attendant's body. It's hard enough finding a small spec in the vast ocean, but if her body disintegrated or broke apart or bled from being stuck in the safety valve before fluid power exploded the rest of the weakened body - then it would likely have been slightly disintegrated and almost impossible to recover (the vast sea, possibly separated smaller parts, combined with aquatic life and blood in the water = not good equation; low probability of recovering the body even if they tried shortly after)

the guy, in the grey suit has no clue what he is talking about.

I’m wondering now if in the event of their nose gear not being deployed, if they dumped fuel after requesting clearance to do so, and while being straight with the runway, they could have glided down with no fuel and made it out safely. (RAT being deployed, etc etc)

Unreal

I hate planes

Oh CB, 37 years. Thank you so much for your dedication and passion to your role. I’m sorry it wasn’t kind to you, Resting in paradise i hope CB xx

Why go at a high altitude for a short flight?

Rest in peace the person that didn't make it .

SOMEONE SURVIVED THIS?!

SOMEONE SURVIVED THIS?!

The first 5 row seats are no longer usable. Because theyre stained permanently, and some are still between the passengers cheeks to this day.

yeah

i think they're failing to recognize some breathtaking views!

That is scary

If that passenger had said something poor CB would still be alive. I’m sure she lives with the what ifs everyday, I know I would. 😢

Hard to believe...one survivor woman went back to the accident spot by flying on a helicopter....that's insane...what if also the helicopter crashes?

it was a Boeing 737 convertible

RIP CB Lansing Thank you for your service.

I cant imagine being her family and hearing that story and description of how CB died.

Omg so sad. Crying for that flight attendant.

That first officer is a kick-ass actor.

God is,Good

The saying "If you fall off a horse, get back on it." Doesn't apply here. A horse isn't 10,000 ft up in the sky.

"Cookies or Pretzels? AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Open air flight.

That lady should have said something and not got on

lol the surfing montage

Seeing some of the older female passengers standing by the plane looking like they’re waiting on line for a table at a restaurant is twilight zone strange. Miracle for sure🎉

Great another thing we have to worry about

A✈️R

I hope with all my heart that Ms. Lansing was completely unaware of her fate.

This could have easily become another TWA 800. Thank goodness everyone survived and the nose had not blown off to keep control of the plane.

Ugh I'm going on a plane soon why am I watching this 😢

Rip CB may you now find peace

Is it the incident in Hawaii, where the plane had part of passenger cabin roof detached? I can imagine the havoc and panic.... i'd have a brown pants likely

This was the best success stories I have watched in years.. Crew was just amazing not to mention God..

My cousin was served last then watched the flight attendant get sucked right out of the plane. RIP

this incident is crazy, and its a feat what pilots have achieved, Its unthinkable something like that might happen today. Flying seems more safe than ever has been.

People are BLOWN out of planes, not sucked. Air pressure differential.

Every time you fly you're gambling with your life because the owners only care about money grounding a plane for maintenance makes them lose money.

The green screen 💀
