Excerpt: On April 28, 1999, a fire destroyed freight, including lithium batteries, on two aircraft cargo pallets at the Northwest Airlines cargo facility at Los Angeles International Airport. The pallets had been taken off an inbound passenger-carrying flight from Osaka, Japan. The aircraft was a Boeing 747, operated by Northwest Airlines as flight 0026. The National Transportation Safety Board?s investigation of this incident revealed that lithium batteries likely present a serious fire hazard to air transportation requiring immediate attention. Currently, lithium batteries of the type involved in the April 28 fire can be transported on both passenger-carrying and cargo-only aircraft but are not classified as a hazardous material requiring appropriate identification, marking, labeling, and testing. Flight 0026 arrived at Los Angeles International Airport about 1020 local time. At 1120, a Northwest equipment operator picked up a pallet loaded with lithium batteries from a dolly and tried to set it on the ground near the cargo facility. To get the pallet to slide off the forklift blades, the operator stopped his vehicle quickly. As t...

Excerpt: On November 24, 1996, the flightcrew of Northwest Airlines (NWA) flight 211, an Air-bus A-320-21 1, N3 IONW, experienced stiff rudder pedals approximately 50 feet above the ground before landing at Detroit Metropolitan Airport, Michigan. The flight, which was operating under the provisions of Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 121 as a regularly scheduled passenger flight from Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, to Detroit, landed without further incident. The 6 crewmembers and 14 1 passengers were not injured. Instrument meteorological conditions prevailed at the time of the incident. The captain of the flight stated that he had disengaged the autopilot (A/P) approximately 15 miles from the airport and was flying a manual approach. No problems were observed with the rudder or yaw damper during this time. However, when the captain attempted to use the rudder to compensate for a crosswind just before landing, he discovered that the rudder pedals were ?iocked in the neutral position.? The captain used aileron inputs to keep the airplane aligned with the runway centerline through the touchdown and differential braking to steer the...

Excerpt: On March 3, 1991, United Airlines (UAL) flight 58.5, a Boeing 737-291 (B-737-200), N999UA, crashed while maneuvering to land at Colorado Springs Municipal Airport, Colorado Springs, Colorado. The airplane was operating on an instrument flight rules (IFR) flight plan under the provisions of Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 121, on a regularly scheduled flight from Denver, Colorado, to Colorado Springs. The airplane was destroyed by impact forces and fire. All 25 persons on board were killed. Although the Safety Board did not determine the cause of the accident, the Board concluded that the most likely event that could have resulted in the sudden uncontrollable lateral upset was a malfunction of the airplane?s lateral or directional control system or an encounter with an unusually severe....

Excerpt: On August 31, 1998, the right main landing gear (MLG) of a Boeing 727-200 airplane, operated by DHL Worldwide Express, collapsed after an emergency landing at John F. Kennedy International Airport in Jamaica, New York. The emergency was declared after an unrelated No. 2 engine failure. The flight was an intended scheduled Title 14 Code of Federal Regulation Part 121 cargo flight from New York to Cincinnati, Ohio. None of the three flightcrew members or the two jumpseat passengers were injured, and the airplane sustained substantial damage as a result of the accident. The right MLG was original equipment that had accumulated 44,554 flight cycles and 50,861 flight hours in 28 years and 6 months of service. Postaccident examination of the airplane by the National Transportation Safety Board revealed that the right MLG forward trunnion bearing support fitting lug had fractured and that postfracture loads on the fitting had spread the fracture faces apart by bending the outboard side of the lug....

Excerpt: On August 9, 1998, about 12:53 a.m., a Premium Tank Lines, Inc., (Premium) truckdriver was transferring gasoline from a cargo tank to the underground storage tanks at a Fast Lane gasoline station-convenience store in Biloxi, Mississippi, when an underground storage tank containing gasoline overflowed. An estimated 550 gallons of gasoline flowed from the storage tank, across the station lot into the adjacent highway, and through a nearby intersection. The gasoline ignited, and fire engulfed three vehicles near the intersection, which ultimately resulted in the deaths of five occupants and the serious injury of one. Damages were estimated at $55,000. From its investigation, the National Transportation Safety Board determined that the probable cause of the accident resulted, in part, from the carrier?s lack of adequate procedures for dispatching delivery drivers to customer facilities. The Safety Board also found that the failure of the facility owner, R.R. Morrison and Son, Inc., (Morrison) to have adequate safety procedures for accepting product offered for delivery at its Fast Lane stations was causal to the accident....

Excerpt: About 7:55 p.m. on September 20, 1995, a 1994 Toyota Camry driven by a 26-year-old female failed to stop for the red light at an intersection and collided with the left front of a 1985 Toyota Corolla. The weather was clear and dry and there were no visual obstructions. The air bags in the 1994 Toyota Camry deployed at impact. The driver sustained minor bruising on her inner arms and abdomen from contact with the air bag; th*e passenger-side air bag struck the back of the rear-facing child restraint system positioned in the right front passenger seat, breaking it in several places. The 5-month-old child in the restraint sustained fatal skull injuries. A 3-year-old child seated in a shield booster seat in the right rear vehicle seating position was not injured.

Excerpt: About 12:37 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time on Saturday, June 20, 1998, 30 of the 148 cars making up eastbound CSX train Q316 derailed near Milepost (MP) 207.9 at Cox Landing, West Virginia. Of the derailed cars, three were loaded with hazardous material, and eight others contained hazardous material residue. Two of the loaded cars were damaged in the pileup and leaked a combined volume of about 21,500 gallons of formaldehyde solution. No one was injured during the derailment of the train; however, 15 persons reported minor injuries as a result of the release of formaldehyde. Total damages in the accident exceeded $2.6 million. The National Transportation Safety Board determined that the probable cause of this derailment was an unstable roadbed that resulted from the inadequate or ineffective measures taken by CSX Transportation, Inc., to permanently correct known drainage problems in the accident area. Railroad track structure supports the weight of trains by distributing the load over a relatively wide area. The weight of the train is transferred from the rails to the crossties and from the crossties to the track ballast. The ...

Excerpt: In this letter, the National Transportation Safety Board recommends that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) take action to address a safety issue concerning uncontained engine failures1 as a result of cracking and rupture of high pressure compressor (HPC) stage 3-9 spools in General Electric (GE) CF6-50 and -80 series engines. The Safety Board identified this safety issue during its participation in the Brazilian Centro de Investigacao e Prevencao de Accidentes Aeronauticos? (CENIPA) investigation of an uncontained engine failure that occurred at S?o Paulo, Brazil, on June 7, 2000. Although the investigation is continuing, information gathered thus far has raised serious concerns that warrant immediate action by the FAA. On June 7, 2000, Varig Brasil Airlines flight 886, a Boeing 767-241ER airplane, equipped with GE CF6-80C2B2 engines, experienced an uncontained failure of the HPC stage 3-9 spool in the No. 2 (right) engine during takeoff at S?o Paulo, Brazil. The airplane was departing S?o Paulo on a regularly scheduled passenger flight to Lima, Peru. The flight crew reported that at a speed of about 60 knots, they ...

Excerpt: On July 9, 1998, about 1007 Atlantic standard time, an Airbus Industrie A300B4-605R, N80057, operated by American Airlines, Inc., (American) as flight 574, experienced a fire in the No. 1 (left) engine shortly after takeoff from San Juan, Puerto Rico. The flight crew declared an emergency, initiated the in-flight engine fire procedures, and returned to San Juan for an emergency landing. After the plane was stopped on the runway, the captain ordered an emergency evacuation. Of the 252 passengers and crewmembers on board, 28 passengers received minor injuries during the evacuation. During the emergency evacuation, four of the eight exits were not used because of the engine fire or the emergency response vehicles that blocked the airplane?s four left side exits. Flight attendants attempted to open the four right side exits; however, two of those exits (1R and 3R) did not operate as intended. The flight attendant at the 1R door said that when he attempted to open the door it only went ?out one foot and forward a foot.? He stated that he had ?to pull it back again and then gave it a big push in order to unjam the slide [slide/ra...

Excerpt: On March 4, 1999, at 2200 Central Standard Time, a Douglas DC-9-15F, N195US, operated by USA Jet Airlines, Inc., encountered a flock of large birds while on final approach for landing at Kansas City International Airport, Kansas City, Missouri. During the encounter, several birds were ingested into both engines, resulting in severe engine power loss. The pilot regained enough power in one engine to continue the approach and land the airplane without further incident. There were no injuries. Night visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time of the encounter, and an instrument flight rules (IFR) flight plan had been filed for the nonscheduled domestic air cargo flight. The flight was conducted under the provisions of 14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 121. On February 22, 1999, about 1455 Eastern Standard Time, a Boeing 757, N682DA, operated by Delta Air Lines Inc., as flight 338, penetrated a flock of birds during takeoff from Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport, Covington, Kentucky. According to the captain, the takeoff roll was normal until reaching approximately 150 knots, at which time a ...
