1969年5月25日

遇难人数：273

The DC-10 left Chicago O'Hare on the Friday afternoon of Memorial Day weekend only for its left engine to detach from its wing and fall off, rolling the plane in the air and sending it crashing to earth just a mile from the runway.

在阵亡将士纪念日当周的周五下午，一架DC-10型客机从芝加哥奥黑尔起飞后，左侧引擎从机翼上脱落，飞机在空中翻转，撞向仅离跑道一英里远的地面。

The plane "burst into a pillar of flame and smoke that could be seen up to eight miles away," the Chicago Tribune reported at the time. All 271 people on board and two on the ground were killed in what remains America's worst aviation disaster.

《芝加哥论坛报》当时报道，飞机“瞬间蹿出火柱，浓烟在8英里外仍然可见”。机上全部271人以及地面上的两人遇难，这起事故至今仍是美国最惨重的空难。

The crash was found to be the result of a shortcut taken by removing the plane's engines for maintenance, cracking an aluminium component which held the engine to the wing.
