You know, first American, then SWA, others too if I remember, now this. If the past is any indication, it's been perfectly safe and inspected, just didn't dot the i's

Got to love today's reporting - the only airline that's never had a fatality or hull loss and it's all so "scary"

Have you all forgotten Hawaiian DC10 going into Tahiti

On 24th December 2000, a Hawaiian Airlines DC10 overran the runway at Tahiti after landing long on a wet runway having encountered crosswinds and turbulence on approach in thunderstorms.
Synopsis

This is an extract of the synopsis from the official report into the incident published by the French BEA.
"While landing on runway 04, in a storm, the airplane touched down about halfway down the runway. It overran the end of the runway and came to a stop resting on its engines, its nose in the lagoon."
The Report's conclusions include:
"During the final approach, the airplane entered an area of rain and turbulence associated with the presence of a storm.
The runway was wet, the wind was blowing from the left at the threshold of runway 04 and was between 18 and 28 kts.
Due to the difficulties in controlling the airplane, thrust reduction was late.
The touchdown of the main landing gear wheels occurred about one thousand three hundred meters [4000 feet] after the displaced threshold of runway 04.
Landing with a crosswind on the wet runway with a low vertical speed made it impossible for the spoilers to be deployed automatically.
The flight engineer extended the spoilers manually eight seconds after touchdown of the main landing gear wheels.
The airplane touched down to the right of the runway centerline, then its track veered to the left before coming back towards the center.
The airplane left the runway along the extended centerline then came to a stop with its nose in the lagoon.
The Report states the cause of the accident to have been:
"The accident was caused by the failure, during the preparation for the approach, to take into account the risk of a storm passing over the airfield at the time of landing."

Outcome
Damage or injury Yes
Aircraft damage Major
Non-aircraft damage Yes
Injuries None
Fatalities None

Maybe no fatalities but the aircraft hull was lost.

I do remember

But it's kind of like a shark attack-
If there are no fatalities, you can say, 'there we were, on our honeymoon into Tahiti ...'
;)

I'm not sure that hull was lost
Dan? Others?
 
The aircraft was not a hull loss. It was parked in the desert in 2002 by Hawaiian and bought by FedEx in 2005 where it was reregistered as N568FE.


568 is currently in storage. Probably permanently.

Not trying to bash. HAL being more of a gentleman than you just answered a question I through out there. Thanks for clarifying that. I flew in Hawaii for 20 years so I know how heading to the beach is all about. Now I take my kids to the lake for boating in the summer and skiing in the winter. Don't miss Da Islands just da Family

Own up dude. It wasn't a question you threw out there.

"Maybe no fatalities but the aircraft hull was lost."

You're an ex Aloha pilot that was on here complaining about HA's hiring process and also saying you hope HA gets bought by DAL and it's pilots stapled.....so yes you do come across as having an agenda. If you applied to HA and didn't get hired, sorry. Glad you landed on your feet at SWA. But you don't have to justify yourself by talking stink about HA.
