Mayday - Alarm im Cockpit - Inferno in den Everglades - Report / Luftverkehr

The DC9 makes contact with the ground after dropping thousands of feet just seconds killing everyone on board on May 11, 1996 in the Florida Everglades.

A team member recovers a crumpled Oxy-generator from the Florida Everglades. This evidence will help determine what exactly caused ValuJet Flight 592 to crash minutes after taking off from Miami International Airport with 110 passengers and crew on board. The oxygen generators are installed in passenger planes to provide emergency oxygen. They produce a chemical reaction that produces instense heat. Investigators wonder if they somehow contributed to the crash.

Depris floats in the murky waters where ValuJet Flight 592 crashed on May 11, 1996, killing all crew members and passengers on board. Some of the debris shows evidence of charring. Investigators soon discover that the worst charred pieces of wreckage are from near the plane's cargo hold. They suspect that something in the hold ignited the fire that completely consumed the plane in a matter of minutes.

At over 500 miles per hour, ValuJet Flight 592 plummets towards the ground into the Florida Everglades killing all passengers and crew onboard.

The Search and Rescue search for clues in the swampy waters of the Florida Everglades in hopes of getting a better idea of what happened to Flight 592 and determine a cause for the crash. The dense swamp land is covered with razor sharp saw-grass, and inhabited by alligators. rescuers and investigators need heavy protective gear before entering the swamp. Because of the violent impact, the plane has been virtually obliterated. All that remains are smaller pieces of wreckage below the surface of the water.

On May 11, 1996, Valujet flight 592 crashes into the Florida Everglades shortly after taking off from Miami International Airport with 110 passengers and crew on board. Investigators need to laocate the DC-9's 2 Black Boxes in order to figure out what caused a devastating on board fire that brought the plane down in a matter of minutes. But the dense swamp of the Florida Everglades makes it difficult to find any wreckage at all. Navy divers are called in to use sonar to locate the boxes, which are equipped with "pingers" that emit a radio signal. But the sophisticated technology is unable to locate the sound through the dense mud and sawgrass of the Everglades.

ValuJet Airlines Flight 592 has crashed into a remote section of the Florida Everglades while attempting an emergency return to Miami International Airport. The crew reported a fire on board just moments after taking off with 110 passengers and crew on board. Within minutes the fire has made the plane impossible to control. The plane plunged into the Everglades, killing all 110 people on board. The investigation is hampred by the thick mud and unforgiving conditions of the Everglades. Locating wreckage is a slow and laborious proces that must be done by hand. The first priority for investigators is to locate the plane's 2 Black Boxes which could provide a clue about the origins of the fire.

ValuJet Flight 592 plummets to the ground when the pilots go unconscious due to smoke inhalation after the cargo storage catches fire from exploding oxygen generators on May 11, 1996 over the Florida Everglades.
