There wad a LOT of human error involved. The pilot didn't do everything correctly. He tried to take the plane off several tons overweight and fuel tanks were filled beyond normal safe protocol. A whole catalogue of negligent errors. Also a critical spacer was left out the l/h landing gear that kept both wheels aligned. It was left out in error during recent maintenance. These were all very significant factors in this accident. Placing the blame squarely at the strip of titanium from the Continental DC-10 is an incredibly lazy analysis of this tragedy.

@snowbunnie73 Most of these rides are pretty serious pieces of heavy, powerful, industrial engineering, not far off the sort of things you'd see in the mining industry. A conveyor like that has a huge amount of torque, it'd pull you to pieces without even trying 😔. As an engineer I spend more time looking at the rides than actually riding them when visiting a theme park, when i see the various conveyors, electric motors, gearboxes, enormous hub drive hydraulic motors ect it never fails to amaze me what seriously heavy and powerful equipment it is.

@ErinBujalski Search in youtube 'Aircraft interviews John Hutchinson' The pilot made some rather large negligent errors before the plane even left the taxi way.

The 80's was a period where a lot of new tech met old ideals/understanding it was kind of a 'great leap forward' but during time periods like that tragedies do occur until we start to understand. Basically the world changed dramatically, but people themselves hadn't caught up yet.

Im pretty sure with all the commotion, large amounts of people, fire ect most of that dangerous fauna would have deserted the immediate area pretty fast.

@BuddyLee23 Like it or not, a business has a duty of care to its customers and no amount of 'signed waivers' will ever absolve a company from legal liability. Negligence is negligence no matter what you've signed, especially when deaths or life changing injuries have occurred.

@Annie_Annie__ In the UK the first drink driving laws were passed in 1967 but I know a lot of older guys who told me through the 1970's the polices attitude was still very much "go straight home or sleep it off on the back seat" I think by the 1980's they were pretty hot on it by then.

 @tanderson6442 Sounds like you need some more driving lessons bud, jeez.....

@VoxelLoop Of course gear alignment would have been a factor, if the tyres on the left hand gear have travelled down the runway scrubbing and smoking as the John Hutchinson interview claims (witnessed by another pilot) that tyre would have been seriously overheated and lost a lot of its structural integrity which may have made the difference between the tyre shredding or not when it hit the titanium strip. The biggest issue to me seems to be the over filled fuel tank that had no head space in it. The strike on the wing caused a pressure wave in the tank and with no head space to dissipate the pressure, the wing ruptured. The point I'm trying to make is not that it's all the pilots fault but it was a whole catalogue of events/errors. But people saying the blame lies solely at the metal strip is lazy and feckless - an ever increasing trend of people seeming to want simple answers to complicated scenarios/questions. The pilots/maintenence crews weren't 'hero's' that day, they were fallable human being's (as we all are) and they made some significant errors (as we all do) which undeniable contributed to the disaster. But that's like most disasters, many factors are at play and normally if only ONE THING out of many was done differently they never would have happened.

Kind of flawed logic, if you get that stuck you can't move/get out your hardly gonna have the room to bring a gun to your head. Maybe if you hurt yourself with no chance of rescue.

They also don't explain that in the event of a shock a GFCI/RCD type power outlet can't save you. Your running through a transformer - the outputs completely isolated from the input.

Commercial airliners are pretty expensive. A new 747 in today's money is ~$418 million. Leaves a lot of wiggle room for repairs, even for substantial damage 🤷

@jtomyhope575 The several extra tons consisted of excessive luggage and the extra fuel for that extra weight in luggage AND an additional taxi fuel which never got burned off during take off.

@hellomark1 Yup, professionals can sometimes be the worst for coming unstuck. I call it complacency through familiarity

The problem with much of this safety regulation isn't just the business owners actually implementing it but the regulatory authority actually enforcing it! Most these regulatory authorities just seem to play 'captain hindsight' after the fact 😡

Search in youtube 'Aircraft interviews John Hutchinson' for a proper analysis of the accident by a senior concorde pilot. It's pretty damning, and no, it wasn't all the Continental DC-10's fault.

@confusedDruid Yes, a lot of nazi scientists worked on the early space programs for both the Americans and the Soviets. Like it or not the German rocket scientists were the most advanced at that time due to the V2 rocket program and the US was in a fierce battle to beat the Soviets. Remember not all Nazis were evil, thats just a childish concept of our modern society. A lot of them were just told "Join us to do this or else". Things are more complicated in real life and morality isn't always black and white.

@Dj.MODÆO Most devices using chunky capacitors usually have high value discharge resistors in parallel with the capacitor to bleed the stored charge off in a reasonable amount of time after the applicant is shut down. The thing you have to consider is if that bleed down resistor may have failed open circuit...

Sounds like they needed a better supplier of propane and propane accessories
