A gathering tonight in Clarence Center to recall the 50 lives lost when Continental Flight 3407 crashed on this date 15 years ago. The Canadian government has come up with a prescription to help ease the symptoms plaguing Ontario's healthcare system.

In this impromptu episode we discuss the unusual and rarely talked about incident of Continental 2574. There is very interesting numerology, where the crash happened, and the "AIR 21 ACT" that was passed by congress just 17 months prior to 9/11. We also discuss Peter Flaherty going rogue at the Berkshire Hathaway annual meeting, and a dire message from SouthernPrepper1.

From the looks of it, a plane is a massive, mighty machine that can wristband anything Mother Nature has to throw at it. Well sometimes, all it takes is a strong gust of wind to blow the plane around like a paper airplane. This is what happened to Continental Flight 1404. Everything that could go wrong in this accident did. Just give this podcast a listen to hear what made this a very odd occurrence. Like what you hear? Then consider giving the pod acts a follow for more podcast and aviation related content. @whatwentwrong_podcast Credit:The Flight Channel on YouTube

The aircraft involved in the accident was a McDonnell Douglas DC-10-10, registered N68045, which had made its first flight in 1972. The captain was 59-year-old Charles E. Hersche, who was operating his last flight before retirement. He had been with Continental Airlines since 1946 and had logged 29,000 flight hours, including 2,911 hours on the DC-10. Hersche served with the U.S. Air Force from 1942 through 1953 during World War II and Korean War. The first officer was 40-year-old Michael J. Provan, who had been with Continental Airlines since 1966 and had 10,000 flight hours, with 1,149 of them on the DC-10. The flight engineer was 39-year-old John K. Olsen, who had been with the airline since 1968. He was the least experienced member of the crew with 8,000 flight hours, 1,520 of them on the DC-10. The aircraft began its take-off from Los Angeles International Airport at around 9:25 am. During the takeoff roll, the recapping tread of the number-two tire on the left main landing gear separated from the tire and the resulting overload caused that tire to blow out. That, in turn, imposed an overload on the number-one tire on the same axle, resulting in a second blowout almost immediately after the first blowout. Pieces of metal from the rims of the failed tires then damaged the number-five tire on the left main gear, causing it to also blow out. Although Captain Hershe initiated the abort procedure at 4 knots (7.4 km/h; 4.6 mph) below V1 speed, it became apparent the aircraft could not stop within the confines of the runway. This was the direct result of the partial loss of braking power following the failure of the three tires on the left main gear, and also because the runway was wet. The captain steered the aircraft to go off the end of the right half of the runway in an effort "to go beside the stanchions holding the runway lights", thus avoiding a collision with the approach light stanchions, which were positioned immediately beyond the end of the runway.  About 100 feet (30 m) beyond the end of the runway, the left main gear broke through the nonload-bearing pavement, which caused it to collapse rearward. Portions of the failed gear punctured fuel tanks in the left wing, immediately starting a fuel fire on the left side. The aircraft slid to a stop about 664 feet (202 m) beyond the departure end of the runway. Because of the fire on the left side of the aircraft, all passengers evacuated on the right side. All four emergency evacuation slides on the right side of the aircraft were affected by the heat and failed at some point during the evacuation.  Flight 603's flight crew and an off-duty pilot worked quickly to guide passengers to alternate exits as the slides failed, actions later commended by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) for saving lives and reducing the number of injuries.[1]: 38  Passengers who were still on board after the last slide failed were forced to either jump to the ground, or use a slide rope deployed from the first officer's cockpit window. Of the 186 passengers and 14 crew on board, two passengers died due to burning and smoke inhalation. Moreover, 28 passengers and three crew members were seriously injured during the evacuation. Two of the seriously injured passengers died as a result of their injuries about three months later. A large portion of the aircraft's left section was destroyed. The aircraft subsequently was written off as a hull loss. The accident represents the second fatal accident and fifth hull loss of a McDonnell Douglas DC-10. During its investigation, the NTSB found the number-two tire failed because it threw off its (recapped) tread. The number-one tire then failed because it was overloaded and had fatigue in its ply structure. The number-five tire then failed, because it was hit with a piece or pieces of metal from either the number-two or -one wheel. The failure of that third tire on the left main gear probably contributed to the gear breaking through the nonload-bearing pavement beyond the end of the runway, which in turn caused the gear to collapse and puncture the fuel tanks. Additionally, the NTSB stated: "The tires on the aircraft may have been operated in the overdeflected condition, since the average inflation pressure was less than the optimum pressure for maximum gross weight." The NTSB made recommendations to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), including that the FAA prohibit mounting on the same axle different models of tires, which had different load-bearing characteristics and also that greater load-bearing characteristics be required in tires manufactured in the future. The NTSB also issued a series of recommendations regarding improvements to aircraft evacuation safety, including development of more durable and fire-resistant slides, and the placement of evacuation ropes at emergency exits for use in the event of slide failure. After the investigation of this accident was completed, the FAA made a number of rule changes improving runway performance, including updated tire rating criteria, performance standards, and testing requirements. In addition, the FAA mandated changes to the design of evacuation slides to increase their capacity, improve fire resistance, and inflate at a quicker speed.

Andrew Russell has written a book about Continental Flight 11 which was blown up by Thomas G. Doty over Unionville, Missouri as part of an insurance scam.  The book is called: The Missouri Crash: The bombing of a Continental Airlines 707and you can find it on Amazon in both Kindle and print editions Here Paul interviews Andrew about his interest in the event.

This weeks episode includes an interview Paul did with Andrew Russell about Continental Flight 11 which was blown up by a passenger as part of of an insurance scam back in 1962

Tired pilots in the cockpit will all too frequently result in aviation accidents and incidents. The crash of Continental Flight #3407 (operated by Colgan Air) in Buffalo, New York, on January 12, 2009 , created a powerfully loud wake-up call for the FAA to take action. Pilot fatigue had been a major precursor for aviation accidents for fifty years. Unfortunately, … Read more about this episode...
