   I don’t know why everyone is dissing the DC-10. It did a some safety problems with the cargo door, but that was fixed. This crash was caused human error on the maintenance side. The only other thing that was wrong with the DC-10 was the design of the hydraulic system, but they fixed that after flight 232 at siux city. It’s sad people fix problems after disasters. I like it’s younger brother better though. The MD-11, my favorite airliner.

   You may find this shocking, but Jerry Bruckheimer is not a documentarian!

   Well, Now a days, they do have cameras everywhere in/out side the planes.
   Not just only that. they have designe the system with remote control. so if someone tries to Highjake the plane then they can fly/control the plane from other army planes or something like that.

   I don’t believe there is footage of this crash, just a few pictures.

    As a follow-up to this a similar situation occured in Amsterdam with El-Al Flt. 1862 when a very similiar situation occured. Everything was fine and he was flying until he tried to land.

    Pretty much after V2 you have to pull up if no extra runway is available.

    It was their emergency procedures that caused it to stall. The emergency procedure stated to power engines down to V2 which can stall the plane on takeoff. It wasn`t the pilots fault they did everything right. It was the Emergency Checklist that killed them, Sadly.

    It was a simple bolt that cracked. What are you gonna do?

    those poor people.u would think that with all our technology they cant build these things any safer. i think they just dont want to spend the time or money.

    The crew didn’t know what they had. If they had known, kept their speed up, there were enough systems remaining to sort things out and return for a landing. Hindsight is 20/20 but for sure, with added speed, the plane could have continued flying. The adopted procedure industry wide as a result is, if you have any engine failure, keep your existing speed rather than slow back to V2. This still may not be enough.

    It was theorized that they could land but during flight simulators (mentioned on the History Channel special on this) it was proven that there was no way they would be able to land because any turn they make they would flip over.

    Know something about DC-10s having been a SO on one. Not all hydraulics or electrics were lost. The pilots didn’t know what they had. Not only did the engine fail, it was truly lost. They maintained flying speed appropriate to their takeoff configuration, just as they were trained. When the slats retracted, the stall speed of the wing raised sharply above their current flying speed, and it stalled. IF they been faster, had they known, it is theorized they could have returned for a landing.

    Damn, i just flew a flight for USAVA USA191

    sam–by the time youre far enough down the runway to take off, there isnt enough runway left to stop in time. its a guarenteed crash if you try and land it right away.

    Also, 273 was the exact number of passengers on KLM 4805. Spooky
