Reminds me of my flight home on Christmas Eve.

These kind of planes are inflatable. It’s just not finished yet.
Really. I swore I saw JAGGED RIPPED METAL in there somewhere.
Picking up on humor FAIL….

My dad (Air Force vet) told me about this one: seems the pressurization system (that pressurizes the cabin so the crew can, like, breathe and stuff) has some sort of safety device to keep it from over-pressurizing. Well, on this bird (a KC-135 Stratotanker, I believe the -R variant), the safety was defective, so the plane just kept on pressurizin’. For their size, aircraft like this have surprizingly thin skins, so eventually, pop goes the weasel.
You’re close…it was a test. and somebody didn’t do it right.
I think so to
Being in the Air Force, and the maintenance field to be most precise, I’ve heard this story a few times. It was a civilian contractor doing a pressurization check with a homemade gauge…. The gauge didn’t work right so he didn’t know he was over pressurizing until this happened.
Yup. Pressure test gone bad, and crew chief left the area with test in progress.
FAIL
And five people died in this accident…
only careers died with this screw up.
i can only imagine the Report of Survey on this property book item.
Nobody died in this accident. Don’t pull something out of your ass unless you can prove it.

Pressurization test wrecked rear fuselage. At previous maintenance, the pressure relief valves were secured shut and not released afterwards.
Here’s a link to an accident description of this event.

Dang… Can you imagine the paperwork involved for whoever was in charge? Lol!
Hah, maintenance career fail!
definitely class a mishap
so thats why the plane landed in the Hudson!!
I would hate to be the person left the pressure relief valves tighened. loser
This was an aircraft from my squadron, it was at a rework facility when the contractor started the pressure test. The gauge he was using wasn’t authorized and the end result is, well….
i don’t get it.
