14 people are dead. A Delta Airlines passenger plane crashed immediately after take-off, the aircraft skidded along the ground after failing to properly climb into the air, bursting into flames on impact with the ground. Investigators would discover that a misconfiguration of the aircraft on take-off was at play in the disaster. We’ve looked at other plane crashes that sort of fall into that category of air disaster but where this accident differs from the others is that the pilots survived. There was a large human element in this disaster that is worth examining. Whereas most of our video take place in the air, today we stay mostly on the ground and examine where thing went wrong.
