This Air Crash Investigation looks at US Airways Flight 1702. This Airbus A320 was flying from Philadelphia International Airport on 13 Mar 2014. Everything appeared fine, the aircraft was set up for a take-off from runway 27R when the crew were informed they would be taking off from runway 27L after a quick change on the onboard computer the crew believed they were ready for take-off. It was only during the take-off roll when they received a caution and very unusual aural indications they released that a mistake had been made but at this point it was up to the Captain to continue with the flight. After taking off he decided to reject the take-off, this caused the aircraft to crash into the ground causing the nose gear to collapse. The wounded aircraft then slip to a stop to the side of the runway.
