Cutting Corners Part 1 - Air Crash Investigation/Mayday

Alaska Airlines Flight 261 is heading for Seattle via San Francisco but its trimmable horizontal stabilizer jams due to a worn jackscrew assembly. The pilots try to resolve the situation but the stabilizer breaks free from its control system and the aircraft dives inverted into the Pacific Ocean, causing the death of all on board.

Everything is easy when you are on your seat, and leave it up to God and enjoy the flight

@LiguidNitrogen This crash had nothing to do with the maker of the plane. This crash happened becasue Alaska Airlines cut corners. The jackscrew assembly was improperly maintained. You can't place that on the the people who made the plane.

@runaway09right Absolutely right! But, as you must noticed (not only on this video), God doesn't exist at all.

@larsjake Nope your a paid gay prostitute! It sucks that getting AIDS kills you in any profession.

[larsjake]

@SunriseHealthFoods Seriously doubt that. But then again I am not a pilot or mechanic. It just sucks that saving a penny kills people, in any profession.

All McDonnell Douglas made civilian planes starting from the DC9, DC10, MD80 series, and MD90 series are crap. If you watched MayDay/Aircrash Investigation long enough one will discover that the vast majority of accidents due to design or mechanical problems happen on those 4 types of planes. Accidents also occur on Boeing and Airbus planes, but the majority of those are due to human factors. Thank God that McDonnell Douglas went bankrupt.
