Hi

Perhaps you have some research material on the following:

UNITED AIRLINES, Boeing 747, Honolulu, Hawaii, 1989

02/24/1989 02:09 LOCATION: Honolulu, HI CARRIER: United Air Lines FLIGHT:
811 AIRCRAFT: Boeing B-747-122 REGISTRY: N4713U S/N: ABOARD: 356 FATAL: 9
GROUND: DETAILS: After leaving Honolulu, on a flight from Los Angeles to
Sidney, Australia, the loss of an improperly latched cargo door resulted in
explosive decompression and loss of power in the No. 3 and 4 engines. Nine
passengers were sucked out of the plane and lost at sea. The plane landed
safely.

My CRM Class will be giving a case study presentation on this positive
occurrence in a couple of weeks. They tell me that they are having
difficulty finding material. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thank
you in advance.

Cheers!!!
