Do You All recall this incident:
of all the plane crashes, this is one that comes to mind with regard to spanair today:
On 6 September 1985, Midwest Express Flight 105 crashed upon takeoff from Milwaukee. As of 2008 this is Midwest's first and only fatal accident. The accident happened when a Douglas DC-9 of the airline crashed while taking off from Milwaukee, bound for Atlanta's Hartsfield International Airport. According to NTSB reports, the crash was caused by improper pilot reaction when the plane's right engine failed due to stress corrosion cracking. The improper flight control inputs caused an uncommanded roll and accelerated stall. The 31 people on board died.
