    One of my first flights ever - I was a 20 something sales rep going to a conference in Minneapolis. We went right through a massive thunderstorm - turbulence was tossing stuff around like crazy, you could see lightning out the window and I really didn't know what to make of it all. Then I caught a glimpse of the face of one of the flight attendants. I didn't know much at that young age, but I knew she was terrified. That's when I started to get nervous.

    I was in the building at the airport when this happened. It rained straight down. No wind. It was just solid water poring. Then it just stopped and the fog lifted and we heard what sounded like the loudest lighting strike ever. It was the sound of the plane snapping huge trees. They closed the airport and we watched the helicopters come and go many times. I’ve never heard a quit airport except for that day. Break rooms were quiet. We were all in a state of shock. Saddest day ever. I’ll never forget it.

The text narration, superimposed over the realistic engine and wind noise is very easy to follow and makes the experience seem very realistic, better than most NTSB animations or over-dramatized accident reconstruction TV shows. Your music, too, is beautiful and dignified, well-suited for tales that too often end in sad outcomes. I too am a pilot, and I have learned a great deal about what to do, or not to do, from your accident synopses. Thank you for what you do, and. I wish you well.

    There are just some situations that can’t be avoided no matter how well prepared you are. Nobody could have foreseen that microburst so nobody should be held accountable for the crash.

      K Trigs not always. In the early eighties I started flying the B737-200 as a first officer. During training I indicated to my training captain and the chief pilot that I was concerned about the lack of fire detection and extinguishing systems in the cargo holds. I was flipped off with the response that they are class D compartments and as such are fire resistant. I took little delight in 1996 when I confronted them about the Valuejet crash in Miami which was brought down by a fire in the forward cargo hold. My point is that as pilots we see many shortcomings in aircraft design but are essentially powerless to create change.

I've been pretty shocked learning about just how terrible some airlines and some flight crews can be. I sometimes get a bug for wanting to look into crashes and how they came to be. My Dad was in the Air force and got me interested in planes early in life. Even knowing all I do I still depend on flying to get me to family or experiences I would otherwise not have.

    Man i remember this like it was yesterday they used to have a exercise track that went around that section of runway, there use to be a church up there too, i was taking a Karate lesson there that day when it happened, it hadnt been raining then clouds came in and heavy winds we were way down on the other end running back up towards the parking lot in a down pour, and thats when we heard this plane coming in and it sounded weird like the engines were winding making a god awful noise, Then we were about 60 yards away from where we heard the most god awful noise like trees and loud exploding metal sounds like twisting and snapping and then we seen the nose slide across the road with other parts of the airplane torn to shreads people screaming as they passed by in the jet, i seen people still setting in their seats where there wasnt any airplane covering them it was gone they were in the airplane setting in their seats screaming and flames were just ingulfing the back half of the jet, and those people were waving their warms frantically trying to get the flames off them, i could see a ladies hair on fire, then when it finally stopped in the side of a house we ran to see if we could help but the ones that could make it out where out the rest were just burnt bodies and corpse burned beyond recognition!!! I had nightmares for years growing up, i was a littke youngin then, i think maybe 13 or 14, my dad was on the other side of the skid path in the parkinglot waiting to pick me up, hes a very stern man and he was a mess!!!!

      Airports (especially the large and busy ones) have microburst detection systems in place these days. However, making rules about flying in “even mildly bad weather” wouldn’t benefit anyone. First of all, that is a very subjective phrase, and secondly, if planes only flew in good weather no one would ever fly anywhere.

      Tracey Rossmann We as airline pilots have to undergo very intensive training once a year in full motion -very advanced simulators which are set up to simulate windshear events among other things. Airliners have detection systems on them that let us know immediately when the threat of wind shear is upon us. Not to mention ground based detection systems that air traffic control use. I hope this can calm your fears somewhat.

    I was charged with getting the names of the survivors, documenting their injuries and what hospital they were transported to. I remember that big chunk of the left side that was still stuck to the oak tree, and the rear section that went into the house. Pretty vivid memories of the victims.

To my knowledge there had never been a crash in that time. It absolutely stunned everyone in the area. I live within two miles from the scene of the crash. Whenever there is a thunderstorm the landing flight path has planes fly very low above my house. It is at these times that I recall the accident. I used to drive the street on which flight 1036 crashed, and the memorial erected there. The street and surrounding area are no longer there, as the land has been absorbed by the airport and I 485.

      Your weather fears are justified. The margin for error in storm landings is greatly reduced. Pilots are under career pressure to land on time and/or not divert. Severe wind-shears and microbursts can totally overpower the lift/thrust ratio of any aircraft. It comes down to the human, land-or-don't-land decision, and that decision is fraught with economic and pride based factors.

I couldn't even imagine knowing that all your passengers died, and you survived. The way one of the pilots explained it was you can't see it to try to avoid it, and once in it, there's a slim chance of avoiding it!! I'm still amazed that this is a flight I ACTUALLY know!!
