๐๐บ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ป ๐๐ถ๐ฟ๐น๐ถ๐ป๐ฒ๐ ๐๐น๐ถ๐ด๐ต๐ ๐ญ๐ต๐ญ was a scheduled passenger domestic passenger flight from Chicago to Los Angeles, operated by a McDonnell Douglas DC-10 (Reg. N110AA) on ๐ ๐ฎ๐ ๐ฎ๐ฑ, ๐ญ๐ต๐ณ๐ต.
At 14:59 local time the flight taxied from the gate at O'Hare Airport. At 15:02:38, the flight was cleared for takeoff and at 15:02:46 the captain acknowledged, "American 191 under way." The takeoff roll was normal until just before rotation at which time sections of the No. 1 engine pylon structure came off the plane. During rotation the entire No. 1 engine and pylon separated from the plane, went over the top of the wing, and fell to the runway. About 9 seconds after liftoff, the plane had accelerated to 172 knots and reached 140 feet.
About 9 seconds after liftoff, the plane had accelerated to 172 knots and reached 140 feet of altitude. As the climb continued, the plane began to decelerate at a rate of about one knot per second, and at 20 seconds after liftoff, and an altitude of 325 feet, airspeed had been reduced to 159 knots. At this point, the plane began to roll to the left, countered by rudder and aileron inputs. The plane continued to roll until impact, 31 seconds after liftoff, and in a 112ยฐ left roll, and 21ยฐ nose down pitch attitude. At 15:04 the plane crashed in an open field and trailer park about 4,600 feet northwest of the departure end of runway 32R.
๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฏ๐ฎ๐ฏ๐น๐ฒ ๐๐ฎ๐๐๐ฒ:
"The asymmetrical stall and the ensuing roll of the aircraft because of the uncommanded retraction of the left wing outboard leading edge slats and the loss of stall warning and slat disagreement indication systems resulting from maintenance-induced damage leading to the separation of the no.1 engine and pylon assembly procedures which led to failure of the pylon structure.
Contributing to the cause of the accident were the vulnerability of the design of the pylon attach points to maintenance damage; the vulnerability of the design of the leading edge slat system to the damage which produced asymmetry; deficiencies in FAA surveillance and reporting systems which failed to detect and prevent the use of improper maintenance procedures; deficiencies in the practices and communications among the operators, the manufacturer, and the FAA which failed to determine and disseminate the particulars regarding previous maintenance damage incidents; and the intolerance of prescribed operational procedures to this unique emergency."

Accident Description: https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn4A2XavbZJ/?igshid=OGQ2MjdiOTE=
On ๐๐ฎ๐ป๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ ๐ฎ๐ฒ, ๐ญ๐ต๐ฐ๐ณ, a KLM Douglas DC-3 (Reg. PH-TCR) was operating a scheduled international passenger flight from Amsterdam to Stockholm with an intermediate stop in Copenhagen.
The first leg of the flight was uneventful. The plane took off from Copenhagen and was seen to enter a steep climb, pitching up to 45ยฐ. The plane then stalled at a height of about 100 meters and fell off to the left. It impacted the ground and burst into flames. All 22 occupants were killed. Among the passengers were Swedish Prince Gustaf Adolf and American singer and actress Grace Moore.
An investigation revealed that a 19-year old airport employee had been engaged in preparing the plane for departure. He had started his job 19 days prior to the accident on January 7 and did not have any prior experience. He had received incomplete instructions. He did remove the rudder lock, but failed to remove the elevator locking pins.
๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฏ๐ฎ๐ฏ๐น๐ฒ ๐๐ฎ๐๐๐ฒ:
It was determined that the loss of control during initial climb was caused by stabilizers blocked by a wooded lock pin. During the stopover in Copenhagen-Kastrup, a ground technician decided to put a wooded lock pin in the rudder and the stabilizer as well to avoid unnecessary movements that could cause damages as there were moderate winds in Copenhagen at that time. Before takeoff, one technician removed the wooded lock pin on the rudder but did remove the one on the stabilizer as this wooded lock pin was put by another ground technician and he was not aware of this. Furthermore, none of the crew member proceeded to a walk around check before departure and the pilots failed to check the stabilizers prior to takeoff.")
