Описание: Revisiting one of aviation's most impactful moments: the tragic crash of Delta Air Lines Flight 191 in 1985. As the Lockheed L-1011 descended towards Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, a lethal microburst, a sudden downdraft, caught the aircraft in its grasp. The plane made a brief and tragic encounter with a highway, striking a car, then violently breaking apart as it collided with two water tanks. Intriguingly, a section of the plane, designated as the smoking area, bore the brunt of the impact but remained relatively intact, leading to several miraculous survivals. Amidst the tragic loss, some passengers mused that for once, smoking had saved lives. Among the passengers was Don Estridge, the brilliant mind behind the IBM PC, whose loss added another dimension of sorrow to the tragedy. This video delves deep into that fateful day's events, stories of its survivors, and the critical lessons that forever changed aviation safety.

Join us in remembering and understanding the profound implications of this tragedy. The crash of Flight 191 served as a stark awakening to the aviation world about the dangers of wind shear and microbursts. It catalyzed advancements in pilot training, aircraft technology, and weather detection systems. As we recount this heart-wrenching incident, we honor the memories of the 137 souls lost and reflect on the legacy and lessons they left behind.
