ValuJet 592

The 27-year-old DC-9 aircraft used on this route, N904VJ was previously owned by Delta Air Lines. Flight 592 took off after a delay of 1 hour and 4 minutes at 2:04 pm and began a normal climb. However, at 2:10 p.m. the flight crew noted an electrical problem. Seconds later, a flight attendant entered the cockpit and advised the flight crew of the fire. Passengers' shouts of "fire, fire, fire" were recorded on the plane's cockpit voice recorder when the cockpit door was opened. Though the ValuJet flight attendant manual stated that the cockpit door should not be opened when smoke or other harmful gases may be present in the cabin, the intercom was disabled, and there was no other way to inform the pilots of what was happening. By this time, the plane's interior was completely on fire.

The crew immediately asked air traffic control for a return to Miami due to smoke in the cockpit and cabin. Captain Candi Kubeck and First Officer Richard Hazen were given instructions for a return to the airport. One minute later, the First Officer requested the nearest available airport.

Flight 592 disappeared from radar at 2:14 p.m. It crashed in Browns Farm Wildlife Management area in the Everglades, a few miles west of Miami, at speeds in excess of 500 miles per hour. Kubeck, Hazen, the three flight attendants, and all 105 passengers aboard were killed. Recovery of the aircraft and victims was made extremely difficult due to the location of the crash. The nearest road of any kind was more than a quarter of a mile (401 m) away from the crash scene, and the location of the crash itself was summarized as a deep-water swamp with a bedrock base. The DC-9 shattered on impact with the bedrock, leaving very few large portions of the plane intact. Sawgrass, alligators, and risk of bacterial infection from cuts plagued searchers involved in the recovery effort.

do you mean the captain of the flight?

[Geebee1100]

all planes DC-9 seem 2 crash

[MinnesotaMan13]

true, i think it depends on the airline with the dc-9s. valujet was a cheap airline and probably didn't take care of their dc-9s as well as NWA does. northwest's dc9s are very safe.

which payware is it?

[MinnesotaMan13]

Jet City merged with the Iron Knuckles DC-9 panel. Now there is the Sky Simulations DC-9 which is much better.

Finally! A FSX video that doesn't lag! Every other video I found of this was running at like 3 FPS. Good job.

Apparently, Mcdonald Douglas had many flaws in their designs. The DC10 cargo door incident. The Alaska 261 incident. However, Im confused because both Valujet and Alaska Airlines were responsible for their accidents, but there are several other fatal accidents that have occured with Mcdonald Douglas. Really Strange.
