@ironhawks__: The Takeoff That Went Wrong | Delta Air Lines Flight 1141 On August 31, 1988, a Delta Air Lines Boeing 727 takes off from Dallas-Fort Worth when the aircraft suddenly loses control just after liftoff. The crew had attempted takeoff with the flaps and slats improperly configured, while the warning system failed to alert them. The crash kills 14 of the 108 people on board. #Aviation #Delta1141 #Boeing727 #AviationHistory #IronHawks
