Just out of Honolulu, the cargo door of United Airlines Flight 811 opens at an altitude of 33,000 feet, ripping a huge hole in the 747 taking out five rows of seats –and nine passengers – with it. MAYDAY investigates how delays in fixing known design faults can have tragic consequences.

Who or what was initially blamed for this disaster?

Mayday: Air Disaster - From Season 1 Episode 1 "Unlocking Disaster": For veteran pilot Captain David Cronin who’s been flying for United Airlines for almost 35 years, it’s a routine flight. For passengers Bruce Lampert and Bob and Linda Bahna, it’s a vacation trip.

As the 747 climbs to twenty-three thousand feet the passengers hear a grinding noise. Then, suddenly, the cargo door tears off, taking five rows of seats – and nine passengers – with it. The pressurized air inside the plane blasts out with explosive force.

Mayday: Air Disaster is a dramatic non-fiction series that investigates high-profile air disasters to uncover how and why they happened. Mayday: Air Disaster follows survivors, family members of crash victims and transportation safety investigators as they piece together the evidence of the causes of major accidents. So climb into the cockpit for an experience you won’t soon forget.
