Even when no others want that row I take it. Everyone else's safety is my primary concern. Further away for the toilets and galley and stairs I realise than other seats, but someone has to offer.</font> |

Wasn't it a UA flight?</font> From airdisaster.com United Airlines flight 811 experienced an explosive decompression as it was climbing between 22,000 and 23,000 feet after taking off from Honolulu, Hawaii, en route to Auckland and Sydney. The airplane made a successful emergency landing at Honolulu and the occupants evacuated the airplane. Examination of the airplane revealed that the forward lower cargo door had separated in-flight and had caused extensive damage to the fuselage and cabin structure adjacent to the door. Nine of the passengers were ejected from the airplane and lost at sea. |
