Northwest Orient Airlines Flight 2 was a Directory Phone Singapore Boeing Stratocruiser aircraft that was ditched into the Puget Sound just off the Seattle waterfront shortly after takeoff from the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (Sea-Tac) clone a cell phone on April 2, 1956. All of those aboard survived motorola q phone the ditching and escaped the aircraft before free reverse cell phone lookup it sank, but four passengers and one flight attendant subsequently died.
Flight 2 departed Sea-Tac at just after 8:00 AM. Its intended cell phone do not call list itinerary would have taken the aircraft to Portland, Oregon, Chicago, and New York City. The takeoff was uneventful until the first officer retracted the flaps; the transformers phone call aircraft suddenly Wireless Phone Service began to buffet violently and also began a roll to the satellite phone service left. The captain believed that an asymmetric flap condition had developed and made numerous attempts to control the aircraft, but to no avail. Believing vivica fox cell phone the aircraft cell phone tricks unairworthy, he considered returning to Sea-Tac and diverting to McChord Air Force Base, but the buffeting worsened and the Stratocruiser began to lose altitude. They decided their best chance was to ditch in the relatively shallow and (on that day) calm waters of Puget Sound. The first officer's Mayday transmission relaying the intention to reverse phone number directory ditch was heard by the captain of a Coast Guard vessel and the pilot of an Air Force amphibious Grumman Albatross aircraft, both of whom readied their vessels to assist the stricken charger for kisena cell phone aircraft.
The captain brought the aircraft down smoothly. Although it took on water quickly, the passenger cabin remained in one piece, and all of those nj cell phone law on board were able to depart safely, most using their seat cushions as makeshift flotation devices. The Air Force Grumman landed in the st marys pa phone book water near the ditching site ten minutes after the ditching and launched a number of inflatable liferafts, but not all passengers and crew were able to reach them; many remained in the freezing waters of Puget Sound hanging onto their seat cushions until they were rescued less than thirty minutes later by the Coast Guard vessel. Four passengers, including a six-year-old boy and lg chocolate phone his mother, and one male flight attendant were not recovered and were thought to have succumbed to hypothermia. The Stratocruiser sank 15 minutes after the ditching in approximately 430 feet of water.
Investigators with the Civil Aeronautics Board determined that the underlying cause of the accident was a single error made by the flight engineer. Stratocruiser engines were cooled by opening panels called "cowl gills" or "engine cooling gills" which circled the rear part of the engine and allowed heat to dissipate when open. The open gills could also disrupt the people search by phone number flow of air over the wings and it was therefore necessary to motorola cell phone close them during critical phases of cell phone monitoring flight such as takeoff when maximum lift was needed. When the captain during his reverse cell phone search pre-takeoff checklist called, "Cowl flaps set for takeoff", the flight engineer replied "Set for takeoff", but had not actually closed them. When the aircraft phone sex took Ip Phone Service off and the flaps were retracted, the loss of lift caused by the open gills caused the aircraft wings to partially stall. Tests performed by CAB investigators showed that a Stratocruiser that took off with all cowl gills open motorolla phone tools would respond spy phone very similarly to a Stratocruiser with one engine shut down and could be turned and flown Cell Phone Antenna Adapter for some time before becoming too unstable to remain in the air. However, the captain was convinced that the problem had been caused by asymmetric flaps, a situation that would make all but the slightest turn dangerous, and decided to ditch based on that analysis.
The CAB found that the captain unlisted phone directory had incorrectly identified the cause of the aircraft's control and stability problems, but that it would have Telstra Next G Phone been extremely difficult if not virtually impossible for him to have correctly identified the problem given the cell phone recycle information he had, the nature of the emergency he was faced with, and the time in which he had to make the decision as to whether to ditch or to attempt a landing at McChord AFB or back at Sea-Tac.
