Nothing bad can happen in Hawaii, right? Wrong. Over the ocean between the Hawaiian islands in 1988, a terrifying mid-air failure caused a tragic event never seen before (or since) in aviation history. What do you do as a pilot when the plane begins to disintegrate in midair... but is still somehow in one piece? And how do you survive as a passenger when the only physical barrier between you and certain death is a twenty-year-old seatbelt? Tune into today's episode as Caroline and Megan explore this movie-worthy flight.
