Unwelcome Fresh Air!
Unwelcome Fresh Air!
It was a
routine flight from Hilo on Hawaii to Kahului 110 miles
away. Suddenly there was a tremendous noise and the top
of the plane was torn away! Ninety-four passengers dared not
move, wondering what would happen next. They need not have
worried because Robert Schornsteimer, the pilot, was firmly
in control. For 25 minutes they hardly dared to breathe,
though there was plenty of unwelcome fresh air! "I didn't
dare to open my mouth," one of the passengers said
later. "I hardly need to tell you how terrified I
was." The passengers embraced the pilot who
had brought the plane down safely. "I've heard of a
plane flying off a roof," joked one of them later,
"but never of a roof flying off a plane!"
