Anybody remember the accident in flight of a 747 -100 of
United Airlines ,roughly, seven or eight years ago?.
It took off from Honululu .Around 20,000 lost a cargo door,
two engines,some passengers,a cabin attendant and
pressurization.Captain landed succesfully in Honululu.
Thank you in advanced.Ruben.
