Air Crash Investigation: DC10: American Airlines, Turkish Airlines
A design flaw in the DC-10 aircraft dooms a Turkish Airlines flight outside of Paris, with over 300 deaths. A defect in the closing mechanism for the cargo door caused it to open in flight, depressurizing the plane and causing the crash. The defect had been discovered earlier in an American Airlines DC-10, which made an emergency landing in Detroit, but no airworthiness directive was issued, and lack of clear communication led to the fatal Turkish Airlines flight.

It crashes shortly after takeoff, and few clues are left behind as to what caused the accident. The cockpit voice recorder and an analysis of why airspeed indicators were not working reliably lead to the cause of the accident: pitot tubes blocked by insects.

The train collides with a passenger train on the same track and a fire breaks out. The disaster claims the lives of 23 people.
