@MrBenjamin1112 Any pilot with the same level of experience would have reacted in the same manner be it male or female; stop being a sexist pig.

[Annon1100]

@MrBenjamin1112 Lowering the oxygen masks in the event of smoke in the cockpit/cabin is what pilots are supposed to avoid doing because this will add new oxygen to the cabin which can worsen the fire, or even cause it to 'flash over'. The disasters involving Air Canada flight 797 in 1983 and South African Airways flight 295 in 1987 had provided clear evidence of this.

Also, the rapid smoke build up on flight 592 was unprecedented and these pilots had hardly any time to react to it.

Folks, the MD-80, if you research it, IS a modified DC-9. There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with this configuration. A 30 year old aircraft is safe as long as it is maintained; the DC-9 was designed as a short haul aircraft, it's heavily built, designed for the job. As the MD80 and beyond, the proof is in the pudding as it does well as a longer, more powerful bird. As for disparaging 592's flight crew, you should be ashamed. Go back to the sandbox, no more computer for you.

The DC-9 was a Good Reliable Plane (BACK IN IT'S PRIME) We have to remember "Value Jet" was Operating a FLEET of them that were OVER or Close to 30 years Old,With Countless Flight Hours, They're fleet was made up of raggedy assed OLD planes that other Major carriers would SELL OFF (Due to THAT very Reason) & Value-Jet would BUY THEM CHEAP, Operate them CHEAPER, & PUT YOUR LIVES AT RISK for a CHEAP TICKET!...I wouldn't fly "Value-Jet" OR "AIR-TRAN" if They GAVE ME LIFETIME FREE PASS!

[borichica33mar]

When this happend, I lived in Ft.Lauderdale, & would see Value Jets Planes "Parked" at they're assigned spot at the aiport every day. I remember they're Paint job with the "Happy" cartoon plane on the sides. I also remember Value Jet was on the NEW'S every other day for about a MONTH before this disaster, For Operating an UNSAFE FLEET of Ragedy assed aircraft! I remember One incident where Inspectors found ONE Plane with DUCT TAPE holding a WINDSHIELD in Place!...& TODAY they R "AIR TRAN"!!!!!!

At least the passengers were out and didn't have to see the end.

[Bandicoot803]

I wonder if the ground crew might also have contributed to the ValuJet 592 disaster by throwing the COMAT boxes into the plane baggage compartment. This could also have activated one or more oxygen generators when they hit the compartment floor.

[nathanhorsfall1995]

there was nothing any pilot could of done in that situation. it was just sad that the smoke filled the aircraft that fast. only if the smoke had been of a lower density then maybe the pilots could have made an emergency landing.

[vanillabeanduck]

And that's what you get for flying "ValuJet" A company so poor they can't afford an "E" in their brand name. Next time, fly GreatValue Airways or even ShurFine Airlines. The fuselage is composed of your recycled pop cans. Oh, and concerning the woman: kitchen.
