Stripped Jack Screws and Silent Engines
Alaska Airlines Flight 261 crashed after a stripped jack screw caused catastrophic control failure, with maintenance negligence and faulty repair procedures contributing to the disaster. The crew perished due to a lack of design redundancy in the aircraft.
In contrast, Air Transat Flight 236 suffered a ruptured fuel line from maintenance errors, yet the pilots managed a record-breaking emergency glide to safety despite confusing computerized warnings.
Both incidents highlight how small errors in maintenance can escalate into life-or-death situations, underscoring the need for strict regulation, careful oversight, and the courage to report safety issues.
