Miracle Landing is a made-for-TV movie filmed and released in 1990 based on an air accident that occurred in April 1988. Aloha Airlines Flight 243, a Boeing 737-200 flying from Hilo, Hawaii to Honolulu, Hawaii, experienced rapid decompression when a section of the fuselage was torn away. With one person killed (flight attendant C.B. Lansing) and dozens injured, the aircraft was able to make a successful emergency landing at Kahului Airport, on Maui.

- An air traffic controller was flying on the jump seat on flight 243, which is not shown in the movie.
- During the filming, Ana Alicia, who played a flight attendant, broke a rib and suffered from a lung infection caused by the smoke used for special effects. [2]
