My inspiration for becoming a flight attendant in the first place was after the Aloha Airlines Flight 243 incident on 28 April 1988.
After suffering an explosive decompression on their 737-200 out of Hilo bound for Honolulu. The purser was sucked out of the aircraft, the 2nd flight attendant was knocked unconcious to the ground and the 3rd flight attendant named "Michelle Honda" managed to crawl up and down the aisle during the decompression offering assistance and keeping the passengers calm. A TRULY AMAZING WOMAN.
A true story movie about the flight named " Miracle Landing" is a must see for any cabin crew member
You can see by the picture how much of the roof ripped off mid flight and for anyone to have the courage to move up and down the aisle still continuning to do their job regardless of the risk is simply a "hero".
