The Mistake That Doomed MK Airlines Flight 1602

Описание: On October 14, 2004, MK Airlines Flight 1602 tragically ended in a fatal crash that could have been avoided. This Boeing 747 freighter, taking off from Bradley International Airport in Connecticut, USA, was headed to Halifax and then on a transatlantic route to Zaragoza, Spain. However, a devastating error in takeoff configuration doomed this flight. The crew, exhausted from an uncommonly long 24-hour shift, made a fatal miscalculation using the Boeing Laptop Tool (BLT), which led to incorrect thrust settings and, ultimately, an unsuccessful takeoff attempt.

As Flight 1602 rolled down the runway, it quickly became apparent something was wrong—the 747 barely lifted from the ground, scraping its tail and failing to gain altitude. In the final moments, the aircraft collided with an embankment, causing a massive fireball and scattering debris across the forest. This tragedy claimed the lives of all seven crew members and raised critical questions about MK Airlines’ safety standards, pilot fatigue, and flight software reliability. Watch as we uncover the harrowing details of this crash, the errors in takeoff calculations, and how fatigue contributed to a tragic end for MK Airlines Flight 1602.
