Incidents

Blowout Incident of HKB441

On January 7th, 2163, Hook Brzinair Flight HKB-441 between Zerban and Fedithe suffered a rapid decompression after a service panel blew out on the aft end of the aircraft, a CWI W-2022-100 Comforjet. The panel blowout caused internal damage, rapidly depressurizing the aircraft at altitude, forcing the aircraft to lower altitude and place a mayday call, delaying multiple flights into Laythi Honor International as the aircraft was placed on priority for landing. Two passengers died from High-altitude pulmonary edema after their oxygen masks failed due to improper servicing. Hook Brznair, wishing to avoid a lawsuit, settled out of court with the next of kin. The panel blowout was investigated internally by the company and found to be the result of improper training practices by ground crews servicing the carrier in Zerban. The ground crew servicing the aircraft had improperly affixed speedtape to the panel. Furthermore, the on-board emergency air system had been erroneously signed off as properly serviced by both the ground crew and the crew due to a miscommunication. Those responsible however were not found fully liable and were instead ordered into retraining. Multiple policies were taken by the company to avoid a future incident.
