From Ward Carroll. For those unaware, Carroll was a US Naval Academy grad, F-14 RIO, and later an instructor at the USNA. IIRC, he was an air group commander, as well, so he knows a bit about aviation.
This one?Aloha Airlines blowout of cabin due to 1960's era 737 and very high frequency of short flights.
Prior to boarding, a passenger notices fatigue cracks around the door frame. This is what led to the final conclusion of what happened.
They lost a stewardess during the blowout over the ocean.
On April 28, 1988, a Boeing 737-297 serving the flight suffered extensive damage after an explosive decompression in flight, caused by part of the fuselage breaking due to poor maintenance and metal fatigue.
