ACI - China Airlines Flight 006

China Airlines Flight 006 on February 19, 1985 was a flight from Taipei to Los Angeles. After ten hours of flight the Boeing 747SP-09 aircraft lost power in one of its four engines. Although they had several minutes to do so, the pilots failed to adjust the controls to counteract the asymmetric thrust due to the failed engine. The aircraft eventually rolled over and plunged 30,000 ft (9,100 m), experiencing high speeds and very high forces. The pilots recovered control and diverted to San Francisco. Two people had serious injuries and the aircraft sustained substantial damage.

Why do Americans always try and create a 'bandwaggon' to win? shut up with your little Boeing poem, Airbus is winning at the moment, in safety and sales, so shhhhh :)

Despite any mistakes that may have been made, that captain had to have balls of steel, to pull that plane out of that dive like he did...hope the airlines bought everyone a new pair of pants, after that experience!!..................­.

The 70's and 80's seemed to be a baaaad period for aviation. But, thankfully for us, if it weren't for all the horrors back then, it wouldn't be as safe as it is now.

@mickrussom BOING, AIRBUS , they are both good as long as they have RR engines.

@mickrussom The difference is that if it had been modern Airbus pilot could not have rolled and stalled it at first place as Airbus computer prevents pilots from letting the plane beyond safe limits. So Airbus FTW.
