aloha had not yet performed those inspections on its fleet. when a passenger alerts investigators that she saw a crack when she was boarding the plane it doesn't take investigators to figure out what happened to the 737. it's a one-two punch of hot and humid weather and constant ups and downs. >> unlike long haul flights, where you take off at jfk and you fly eight hours and land in london. that's one cycle in an eight-hour period. on these island hoppers, you could fly for two hours and have 20 cycles. up and down, up and down. 30-minute cycles. where you pressurize the airplane, take off, fly for 15 minutes, land. pressurize the airplane again. so the accumulative effect of this cycling of the fuselage is greater in a short period of time than on a long-haul flight where you have one pressurization cycle in an eight-hour period. that was what was not understood until this particular accident. >> aloha 243 was a case where the industry began to learn the corrosive nature and how carefully it had to be monitored in a marine environment. the ai

manner through a slow decompression or through some kind of structural problem but not a failure, aloha -- hawaiian airlines disintegrated in the air, lost half of its hull and landed safely. the notion of catastrophic or nothing is not the way the investigators are going to look at this. they're going to look at the maintenance logs and look and see if that plane met all of its air worthiness directives. everything is on the table but it's just a bit suspicious that that primary radar feed that the military put out is enough and rolls royce is denying the notion that the aircraft was pinging data on the performance of the engine. >> i think they're not commenting. i don't know if they're formally denying. >> you know, wolf, such a mess. not to beat up on the malaysians, they just got caught off guard over their head with a huge investigation. i think what you're starting to see is the faa, ntsb begin to put some quality control into this investigation. >> because the malaysians really don't have a whole lot of experience. >> they need help. >> the ntsb and the u.s. authorities and othe

so if you look at the aloha accident. >> hawaiian airlines? when the top of the aircraft came off, call it the convertible accident, when the top of the aircraft came off. that assumption that the engineer made on that was that this aircraft would be stressed a certain number of times per hour, two-and-a-half hours, to be specific. but when it went to hawaii, it was only 20 minutes between flights. so the stress on the air frame was every 20 minutes. now you have changed the assumption. so now you go from a billion to much less. >> so that billion is based on all of the equipment and the gear being used exactly as it was planned and doesn't make room for the monkey wrenches and the bug-a-boos that the human condition enters into this formula. bring in the pilot. you're the last guy, colonel kay, the last person in the chain of error that can save yourself and others. but really, you're at the mercy of everybody else's assumptions, aren't you? you can check the outside of the plane, but you can't check everything. >> no, you can't. and the resp

in 1988 this aloha airlines 737 miraculously was landed by its pilots after the fuselage of the plane failed. eight people were injured in that incident. a flight attendant was ripped out of the plane and killed. that flight attendant was the only fatality. it's amazing the pilots were able to bring that plane down when you look at the condition of the plane. in 2009 you'll remember the miracle on the hudson captain sullenberger was able to land his airbus a-320 on the hudson river. that happened after the plane sucked a number of canada geese into its engines. the crew knew exactly what happened as soon as it happened and they knew how serious it was. >> we hit birds. we're turning toward laguardia. >> they could not get back to laguardia or any other airport. they found this nice open spot with only a little bit of traffic in the form of water taxis on the hudson river. it was a bird strike that brought down that plane. large commercial airliners have been brought down by pilots apparently committing suicide while on the job. that's believed to be the cause of this crash in 1997, a

and i'd like to add to the pressurization, after the aloha accident in hawaii in 1988 and 1989 -- >> just remind people is that when a window was blown out affecting the pressure? or am i thinking of the wrong one? >> that's the wrong one. it's when the whole top of the airplane blew off. about 30 feet. it was a big piece. we started building our airplanes differently. and we now have what we call damage-tolerant air frames. you could see the result of that work on the part of boeing and airbus as well with the southwest airlines pressure administration blowout that occurred just a couple of years ago in arizona. the panel, the blowout only proceeded so far and it stopped because the structure has been designed to stop those kinds of blowouts. the same thing we just mentioned the corrosion with the ad note. that same kind of structure, reinforced structure exists in the airplane so it would prevent the massive blowout of the airplane but it will still blow out in small pieces. >> what about the issue of the fires that our pilots were just talking about? there have been this directive

look at the aloha accident.for plenty of time. >> so it could have a fire on board for six hours? >> in that case, it could. that's why smoke is more likely than fire. >> is a bomb ruled out at this stage, and if so, why? >> a bomb of any size that would take that aircraft down is out of the question in my mind. >> mary, you want to jump in here? >> well, you could have a fire and it would be put out, because in these planes, they're wide bodied aircraft and they have fire detection and suppression systems in the cargo holds. this was the result of value jet flight 592 the families pushed to get fire suppression in cargo holds. >> miles o'brian, from all this you've seen here, can we eliminate a bomb? >> no, i don't think so. what about a -- i'm talking about maybe a small bomb that was aimed at the front of the airplane, sort of a decapitation effort, something that was aimed where the electronics and avi avionics are. what if it exploded and it was a small hole and caused massive failures of the electronics sy

people were remember a low hot airlines -- a low hot -- aloha airlinses.esterday was an interesting day. the malaysian authorities announced that they believe without a doubt that the system on the airplane that sends messages about the plane back to the airline -- that that was shut off. not stopped transmitting but was actually shut off. that happened before the last pilot communications to aircraft control. when pilots communicate with air traffic control -- by the way the transponder, in other system that tells both air traffic control and radar where you are it sends out a radio signal with the number saying this is us. that was still on. if the pilot was so able to communicate with air traffic control, he was still fly the plane. and he could have said the code word. airlines are usually trained to a code. they say it if you are in dire strain and can't squawk the hijack code or do anything else to let them know you are in trouble. we know all right, good night the last words of the pilot could have been a hijack code. it was very ominous to me. now
