Pain in the R's

The photo is hardly relevant. The DC-7C was landing, not departing. The reverse pitch failed to select and so the acft accelerated when 'reverse' power was applied. It was badly damaged because of the terrain at the end of the runway, something that was remedied soon after by the construction of a RESA.

I am sure the relevant accelerate-stop distances are checked.
