This happened on my 12th birthday. I was in the family car in Texas and heard a radio bulletin just a few minutes after the crash. Still think about it every birthday.
@danudet Sorry to bring up and old post, but they did have control, there are several hydraulic systems that are interconnected and have fail safe measures. the left outboard hydraulics did fail, but the flight controls were intact, they lost the outboard slats and power to the captain's instruments, stick shaker, and slat discrepancy indicator. This is why the aircraft stalled, because they slowed to V2 not knowing the slats had retracted and the stall speed was higher than the v2 speed.
@Cerberus957 That's strange. Was this a 747? It seems that Vmc would be reduced with an engine missing. Unless it rolled to the side with the engine missing... I would like to read the NTSB report on this one... That is a bad deal either way!
My condolences to all those involved. I have just managed to land a 747 with no hydraulics using thrust vectoring on FSX but with a engine and part of the wing missing forget about it
Exellent stuff! only suggestion is on future videos I'd do a voice over commentary instead of captions actually saying what's happening. still nevertheless a great video! thumbs up
It should be remembered that there is evidence that one of the pilots stomped on the left rudder pedal at the last second, driving the plane into the ground quicker and at the same time sparing hundreds of people in the trailer park in front of the crash site certain death.
What a tragedy. The FAA approved company manual requires V2 for engine failure climb after Vr. V3 would have given the crew time to assess damage and choose viable options, such as ditching ( full fuel load ) in Lake Michigan. Granted, he would have probably been zooming over the rooftops to gain speed in a 2of 3 sitrep, but very surviviable. Speed is your friend, dude...ask any freight driver who bulls one of these things around the world.
@MinnesotaMan13 HI THERE your videos are really well produced i wanted fto find out how your fraps is in HQ ? mine looks like its a bit pixilated? please help i also do FS9 air accident recreation check tyhem out osmetime
FS2004 never had bad graphics. FSX on the other hand has incredible graphics in comparison. In standard form, they are about the same, but if you start getting some addons, FSX is unbeatable.
Sony Vegas Pro 9 is the most expensive and it's about $600, but I don't use that. I find the best to be Vegas Movie Studio Platinum 9 which is $85 from Sony, but you can get it on ebay for around $60.
The DFDR was not damaged , Electrical power was cutt off because of the damaged left engine, the DFDR on this plane gets its power from the number one engine,

loss of hyd pressure caused the leading edge slats to retract on the left wing, causing a lift asymmetry, which caused the roll.

I remember this crash, I was 9 and being ridden back home and saw smoke in the distance, about 15 miles from O' Hare airport.
ScorpioBornIn69 10 months ago
the engine fell off the wing and while doing so, tore out the hyd lines. The aircraft had no flight controls at the time of the roll
