摘要

The litany of errors would have been laughable-IF 37 people hadn't lost their lives. USAir Flight 1016 was on its final approach to Charlotte, N.C., on a stormy evening last July when a deadly phenomenon known as wind shear caught the pilots by surprise. Plenty of other people knew the weather was dangerous: USAir had evacuated the rampway due to lightning; two planes waiting for takeoff had decided to hold on the ground. Another departing plane had radioed the control tower that there was a heavy storm directly overhead. But little of this information was passed to the crew. The USAir pilots did try to abort the landing when they were suddenly bunded by torrential rain. But the captain apparently became disoriented and told the copilot to angle the plane's nose down just when he should have climbed. The DC-9 hit the ground at 142 mph and broke apart as it skidded through a grove of trees. The nose came to rest on a road; the tail rammed an empty house. The cabin shattered into a gruesome tangle of metal, bags and bodies—including that of a 9-month-old baby ripped from her mother's arms.
