On the 19th of July 1989 a United Airlines DC10 suffered a catastrophic engine failure to its tail mounted engine (eng nr2). The engine failure managed to damage all three hydraulic systems on the aircraft rendering completely without normal flight controls. What followed after that is one of the biggest miracles in modern aviation as the 3 person cockpit crew, with the help of a training captain flying as a passenger, managed to get the aircraft down to Sioux City airport. There was still considerable loss of life but 185 persons were saved by the skill, CRM and nerves of the flight and cabin-crew onboard.
In this episode I will tell the tale based on my background as a pilot and what I think is important to point out.
As always I would love to hear your thoughts about the video and if you have any questions.
