@uiopvip083: The nearly made an impossible landing 🛬😞 • • ✈️: United Airlines Flight 232 📹: Air Crash Investigation Season 11 Episode 13 • • On 19 July 1989, the tail-mounted number-two engine of United Airlines Flight 232 explodes, damaging all of the aircraft's hydraulic systems and leaving the flight controls unusable. By varying engine thrust, the pilots manage to crash-land the aircraft at the Sioux Gateway Airport in Iowa, saving the lives of 184 of the 296 people onboard. Subsequent investigation traced the engine failure to a fatigue crack in the fan hub stemming from a defect introduced before the disk was even made (when the original titanium ingot used to make it was formed). • • #aircrashinvestigation #mayday #airdisasters #aviation #aviationaccident
