Mayday · S12E8 — Catastrophe at OHare (American Airlines Flight 191)
Synopsis
On the morning of May 25, 1979, moments after departing Chicago's O'Hare International Airport, the left engine of American Airlines Flight 191 detached and plummeted from the aircraft. The plane subsequently crashed into an open field, resulting in the deaths of all 271 people aboard, as well as two individuals on the ground. The engine's separation was attributed to damage to its pylon, a result of inadequate maintenance practices.
