	Prime Curios!: 191
		American Airlines flight 191 was the deadliest airplane accident on U.S. soil.
		191 is the smallest prime such that the sum of the reciprocals of the primes less than or equal to it begins with the digits of the next prime.
		When the palindromic prime 191 is doubled and one is added to this result, the resulting number is yet another palindromic prime.

	The DC10 O'Hare crash (Keith Barr, Robert Dorsett)
		American Airlines engineering personnel did not perform an adequate evaluation of either the capability of the forklift to provide the required precision for the task, or the degree of difficulty involved in placing the lift properly, or the consequences of placing the lift improperly.
		American Airlines maintenance personnel did not report formally to their maintenance engineering staff either their deviation from the removal sequence contained in the ECO or the difficulties they had encountered in accomplishing the ECO's procedures.
		The flight tests conducted to evaluate the controllability of the aircraft were limited to a minimum airspeed compatible with stall-warning activation predicated upon the slat-retracted configuration.

	Flight 191
		On the afternoon of Friday, May 25, 1979 (Memorial Day weekend), American Airlines Flight 191, a Los Angeles-bound DC-10, began its takeoff roll at 3:02:48 PM CDT from Chicago-O'Hare International airport.
		Flight 191's left wing was pushed down by a stall which resulted when the slats (which extend the wing's leading edge during takeoff, increasing its lift and reducing its stall speed) on the outer part of that wing were pushed back in by wind pressure.
		This happened after the hydraulic pressure which held the slats out during takeoff was lost as a result of the damage from the pylon separation (DC-10s were later fitted with mechanical locking devices to hold the slats out).

	Public Lessons Learned from Accidents (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		The crash of American Airlines Flight 191 in Chicago was a watershed commercial aviation accident in terms of several factors:
		There were catastrophic, unintended effects that arose, in part, as a result of deviation from Service Bulletin instructions, and poor safety assumptions regarding the use of a forklift to remove/replace the engine/pylon assembly.
		When the problem occurred in flight, the flight crew did not get some critical information that would have helped them to fly the plane.

		I think continental, and american airlines, and another airline came under fire for "cutting corners" in the way the pylon was installed.
		Three airlines decided to ignore that recommendation and instead, removed the engine and pylon as one unit, in the interest of improved maintenance efficiency: United, American and Continental.
		Because the forklifts were far less precise in their ability to mate the engine/pylon back to the wing, without causing impact damage to the attach point structures, both CAL and AMR suffered impact damage to the pylon attach point structures of their wings.
