Photos confirm a lot of people's suspicions, I don't think they stood a chance.

US gov in 2025, we should be thankful that the link was ever up to begin with.

It looks like they moved the location of the file. The investigation page has a working link.

No, the crew truly had no chance what so ever.

The data in the report also explains the grounding of the entire DC-10/MD-11 fleet. It's AA191 all over again, only worse as debris caused one of the other engines to fail as well. I know the general opinion that it is #2 (honestly I think that too) experienced compressor stalls, but until the FDR analysis is published we will not know for certain.

This very well may spell the end of that line of aircraft.

Did they release it accidentally or something? The link was working just a moment ago but now it's 404
