On Aug. 21, 1988, a Boeing 727 from Jackson, Mississippi, stopped at DFW International Airport and was bound for Salt Lake City. But it never made its destination. As the plane’s main wheels were leaving the ground, the aircraft began violently rolling and its right wing dropped. That dip forced the plane's tail to briefly make contact with the runway and, in turn, which caused the right wing to dip again -- this time with its wingtip striking the ground. The passage of airflow through the engines led to compression surges that prevented the plane from being able to maintain stabilized flight or gain anything beyond marginal altitude. Some 900 feet beyond the runway, the right wing of the plane struck an antenna, causing the wing to catch fire and disintegrate while the plane was still briefly in the air. The plane was airborne for another 400 feet before it slammed into the ground and began sliding sideways, leaving an 800-foot-long trail of wreckage. At the same time, the fire from the right wing spread quickly to engulf the rear of the plane, which had only been in the air for 22 seconds. By the time it came to a stop, the plane had split in two. Of the 101 passengers on board, 12 died. Two of the four flight attendants died as well. Another 22 passengers, two crew members, and Captain Larry Lon Davis and First Officer Carey Wilson Kirkland were seriously injured. The flight engineer and 29 other passengers suffered minor injuries. In an accident report from the National Transportation Safety Board, it was determined the accident was likely caused either by inadequate cockpit discipline or a failure of the plane’s take-off warning system to alert the crew that the plane wasn’t ready for take-off. In 2013, a quarter-century after the tragedy, a marker memorializing the victims of the crash was installed at the Founder's Plaza Observation Park on the northwest edge of the airport property. But as DFW Airport's then-executive vice president of operations Jim Crites said at the time, Flight 1141's survivors and the first responders who helped them exit the plane's remnants are worth remembering as well. "Flight 1141 also turned on the head the old notion that an aircraft accident was not survivable," he said. 00:00 - Introduction 00:14 - Early coverage of crash 2:15 - What happened when the plane crashed 4:50 - Debris from the crash 8:08 - First responders working at the crash 10:06 - Relatives of passengers on flight helped at the airport 11:49 - Impact on Parkland Hospital emergency room 13:40 - Parkland Hospital emergency room update 16:14 - Delta Air Lines Flight 1141 crash similarities to Delta Flight 191 crash 17:55 - Injured passengers arrive to airport 19;23 - Update on injured passengers from crash 21:00 - Update on injured passengers from crash 22:50 - Volunteers help with blood donations 24:30 - Update on volunteers helping with blood donations 26:22 - DFW Hilton helps survivors of plane crash 28:07 - Impact on crash's survivors 29:38 - Delta Air Lines Flight 1141 day after crash
