Скачать или смотреть The Engine Fell Off At Takeoff. 273 Had 31 Seconds To Live. Maintenance Laws Were Rewritten.

The engine fell off during takeoff. Not a part. The entire engine. Ten thousand pounds of metal ripped away from the wing three seconds after the wheels left the ground. The plane climbed for five more seconds. Then it rolled left. Then it dove. Thirty-one seconds from engine separation to impact. Two hundred and seventy-three people died. The deadliest aviation disaster in American history. It happened because the airline used an unapproved maintenance procedure to save two hundred hours of labor. They damaged the pylon. The crack grew for six weeks. Then it failed. The entire DC-10 fleet was grounded. Maintenance procedures were rewritten worldwide.

THE BLOOD LAW: FAA-approved maintenance procedures only. Mandatory damage inspections. No shortcuts.
