    Meet Capt Al Hanes, United Flt 232, at Cradle of Aviation.

    Thought this might be of interest.


    EMERGENCY LANDING
    The Story of Flight 232 with Captain Al Haynes

    Wednesday, February 1, 2006 at 7:30pm
    Admission: $10.00
    $8.00 for museum members

    On July 19, 1989, United Flight 232 left Denver at 2:09 pm and climbed to 37,000 feet. At 3:16pm the flight crew alerted air traffic control in Minneapolis that the number two engine had FAILED and the aircraft was marginally controllable. What happened next was a harrowing story of survival for the crew and passengers of Flight 232.


    Come and hear Captain Al Haynes tell the full story of how 184 passengers survived and how many more lives are saved everyday by the lessons learned by Flight 232.

    A former marine aviator, Captain Haynes joined Untied Airlines in 1956 logging over 27,000 hours in DC-6, DC-7, DC-8, Boeing 727 and the DC-10. His story talks about the teamwork and execution performed by the flight crew as well as those on the ground who helped avert an even greater disaster.

    Seating is limited. For tickets, information and reservations, please call 516-572-4066.

    If you have never heard Captain Al Haynes speak before, do it, it is worth any price.

    He has some video & powerpoint presentation of the DC10 crash, he tells what happened from his perspective & what the experts surmised happened.

    Captain Haynes is also very entertaining.......

    Guys GO if you can. he came to my city to give a speech and everyone was moved by the speech, not a dry eye was in the room after he was done. not because it was sad too, but just how he told it. higly recommended, and definetly worth any price to go. I was not able to go see him sadly, but my friend did and all he could talk about was the speech. Highly highly suggest you go if you can, Feb 1st is my bday anyway :-P

    Alex

    edit- oh **** how ironic my 232 post is about flight UAL 232 weird :shock:

    This Captain is no stranger to crisis.

    From what I recall he has or had a very sick daughter too, heartbreaking story.

    Make sure everything is warned that if you go to Ruth Chris Steakhouse, you are looking at a steak for a minimum of $25, well worth it.....
