Cool/Scary FAA Display of Aloha Flight 243

It's coming up on the 50th anniversary of the FAA William J. Hughes Technical Center (WJHTC) so they're setting up all sorts of informative displays around the place. I spotted this display on my way back from the cafeteria.

It's as interesting as it is chilling to me. It's detailed and facinating to look at until it starts to sink in that it's not just a model made by a hobbyist for fun. It's a carefully constructed recreation of what must have been a horrifying flight.
