Claim: A photograph accurately showed passengers aboard Aloha Airlines 243 flight after its roof ripped off mid-flight on April 28, 1988. But some — like Aloha Airlines 243 flight on April 28, 1988 — are so shocking that they deserve revisiting. A 2023 Reddit post showed a photograph of passengers aboard that plane, sitting in their seats, after its roof apparently tore loose and peeled off mid-flight. The Reddit post claimed, "On April 28, 1988, the roof of an Aloha Airlines jet ripped off at 24,000 feet, but the plane still managed to land safely." Aloha Airlines crew members help shaken passengers from the wrecked airplane after it landed at Kahului Airport on Maui.
