Shelter-in-place order issued as responders work at crash site.
Crew did everything they could but hopeless: likely a maintenance issue. Were the mechs using a fork lift for engine change again to save manhours… and it ran out of propane thus cracking the pylon assembly bracket ?
Probably not… at least I really hope not. The late Ron Schleede of the NTSB was a dear friend of mine for 34 years, and at one ISASI conference many years ago we had a very long chat about American 191 over dinner one evening, and I remember sitting there in horror shaking my head at the chain of events that led to 273 deaths. I hope that we learned from that.
