"United Flight 232, a DC-10-10, crashed while attempting an emergency landing at the Sioux City Gateway Airport, Iowa, in 1989. While cruising at FL370, a hair-line fracture in the number two fan blade caused the tail engine to spin out and shower the rear of the aircraft with shrapnel. Due to a design flaw in the DC-10, all three main hydrualic fluid lines were brought together in this area, and all were severed.
With no hydraulic fluid or pressure, every movable surface on the aircraft became useless. Flaps, ailerons, rudder, speedbrakes, wheelbrakes; all were useless. The crew, including a dead-heading DC-10 instructor pilot,
brought the plane down using differential thrust only. Unfortunately, due to their high descent rate, the airplane broke up and lives were lost. "
i mean, were these guys good or what?
