Continental Flight 1404, Denver International Airport Dec 20th, 2008

A *preliminary* graphic showing the layout of Denver Internation Airport, the departure runway (34R) of Continental Airlines Flight 1404 and the location of the wreckage. With the eventual release of more information such as the Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR) and Flight Data Recorder (FDR), a more refined animation can be created. Security cameras may have captured portions of the taxi progress and/or takeoff roll and crash of this Boeing 737 aircraft. The FDR may contain latitude/longitude data and more importantly could have recorded lateral, longitudinal and vertical accelerations. This data could be integrated with time to recreate the taxi path and flight path of the aircraft. Radar data from nearby facilities may also provide information helpful in the reconstruction.
