Abstract

The National Transportation Safety Board reported on 21st December 1979, that the American Airlines McDonnell Douglas DC‐10 stalled, rolled and crashed after takeoff in Chicago because of partial left wing slat retraction and the loss of two cockpit warning systems — all the end result of maintenance damage which caused separation of the left engine and pylon.
