The B-2

05/31/2026

July 19, 1989. United Airlines Flight 232 is cruising high over the Midwest when the calm routine of a normal flight snaps in an instant. A violent bang hits the tail of the DC-10, warning lights flare, and the jet starts drifting into a turn the pilots didn't command. Up front, Captain Al Haynes grabs the controls and quickly realizes something every pilot dreads: the airplane is no longer responding.
Then the cockpit gets even quieter, in the worst way.
The flight controls aren't responding, and the crew can't bank or pitch the way they're trained to. Haynes does the only thing left. He starts using engine power, carefully adding and pulling back thrust, trying to "steer" the aircraft with the wing engines alone while guiding the crippled jet toward Sioux City, lowa.
What happened next became one of aviation's most unforgettable survivals. The plane broke apart and caught fire, and yet 184 of the 296 people on board survived. 112 people died, including one passenger who later died from injuries. The NTSB said the chain started with a hidden defect in the titanium fan disk in the No. 2 engine. Over time, that flaw grew into a fatigue crack until the disk finally failed in flight, sending fragments through the tail and cutting the systems that moved the controls. The NTSB later called the crew's performance
"highly commendable," and said a safe landing in that situation was "virtually impossible," which is exactly why Al Haynes is still remembered as the captain who stayed calm when the airplane gave him almost nothing to work with.

After recovering, Haynes returned to flying, retired from United in 1991, and spent years speaking about the Flight 232 lessons and why communication and cooperation matter when the checklist runs out. Haynes died in 2019, but his story is still one of aviation's clearest reminders that calm, trained teamwork can change the outcome.

A U.S. Air Force E-11A BACN aircraft - a highly specialized communications relay jet based on the Bombardier Global Express platform - suffered a catastrophic in-flight emergency during an operational mission over Afghanistan.
According to the investigation, a fan blade failure inside the left engine caused an automatic shutdown while the aircraft was cruising at high altitude. In the confusion that followed, the crew mistakenly believed the second engine had also failed and shut it down as well, leaving the jet without usable thrust.
Despite the severe situation, the crew fought to regain control while attempting to reach a safe landing area. The aircraft ultimately came down in remote mountainous terrain after the pilots were unable to restart the engines in time.
The incident claimed the lives of Lt. Col. Paul K. Voss and Capt. Ryan S. Phaneuf — two experienced U.S. Air Force aviators serving on a mission focused on keeping allied forces connected through advanced airborne communications technology.
Investigators later determined the accident involved both a mechanical malfunction and critical decisions made during an extremely high-pressure emergency. The loss of the aircraft was estimated at approximately $120 million.
Their service and dedication continue to be remembered by the military aviation community.

A military helicopter carrying officials assessing damage from a powerful earthquake crashed Friday in southern Mexico, killing 13 people and injuring 15, all of them on the ground.
The Oaxaca state prosecutor’s office said in a statement that five women, four men and three children were killed at the crash site and another person died later at the hospital.
A state government official who was not authorized to be quoted by name said the chopper crashed into a group of people who had been spending the night in an open field after a powerful 7.2 magnitude earthquake hit the area. Aftershocks had caused people to flee their homes for fear they would collapse.
The Defense Department said the Blackhawk helicopter suffered the mishap when it was preparing to land on a vacant lot in the city of Jamiltepec, about 19 miles from the area of Pinotepa Nacional. The craft was carrying Interior Secretary Alfonso Navarrete and Oaxaca Gov. Alejandro Murat, neither of whom had serious injuries.
The accident was the latest embarrassment in Navarrete’s short term at the Interior Department, which oversees most political and security issues. Earlier this month, an intelligence agent from an agency overseen by Navarrete’s department was caught tailing an opposition presidential candidate.
Both Navarrete and the defense department said they regretted the loss of life in Friday’s accident.
Jorge Morales, a local reporter who was aboard the helicopter when it crashed, described harrowing moments as the pilot lost control and the helicopter attempted to land in a swirl of dust.
“The moment the helicopter touched down it lost control, it slid– like it skidded– and it hit some vehicles that were stationed in the area,” he told a Mexican television news program. “In that moment, you couldn’t see anything, nothing else was heard beside the sound that iron makes when it scrapes the earth.”
Navarrete and Murat were evaluating reports of damage from the earthquake before their helicopter crashed.
The U.S. Geological Survey originally put the magnitude of Friday’s quake at 7.5 but later lowered it to 7.2. It said the epicenter was 33 miles (53 kilometers) northeast of Pinotepa in southern Oaxaca state and had a depth of 15 miles (24 kilometers).
President Enrique Pena Nieto said via Twitter that both officials and crew were fine, although the interior department said that they had light injuries.

Just 73 seconds after liftoff on January 28, 1986, millions watched in disbelief as the mission ended in tragedy, claiming the lives of all seven astronauts aboard.
What followed was one of the largest and most complex recovery efforts ever conducted at sea. The U.S. Navy, Coast Guard, NASA specialists, deep-sea divers, and search crews worked together for months to locate and recover debris scattered across the Atlantic Ocean.
Using advanced sonar equipment, search teams carefully scanned thousands of miles of ocean floor. Every signal had to be examined, as wreckage from Challenger was spread across a vast underwater area mixed with natural objects and decades of marine debris.
As the search continued, recovery crews eventually located significant portions of the spacecraft, including sections of the crew cabin resting deep beneath the sea.
Investigators also recovered personal items belonging to the astronauts, bringing a deeply human dimension to an already emotional mission.
The operation even produced a few unexpected discoveries, including unusual objects unrelated to the shuttle that had been resting or drifting within the search area for years.
The Challenger disaster forever changed NASA. The lessons learned led to major reforms in shuttle design, safety protocols, and decision-making processes. Nearly four decades later, the bravery of the Challenger crew continues to inspire generations of explorers, engineers, and dreamers around the world.
Their mission ended too soon, but their legacy lives on.

A United States Army AH-64 Apache attack helicopter crashed near Ech Stagefield at Fort Rucker, Alabama.
The incident occurred at approximately 7:30 a.m. EST
during a scheduled training flight. The two soldiers on board the twin-engine helicopter survived the mishap and sustained only minor injuries. Both were promptly taken to a local medical facility for further examination and treatment.
Emergency response crews arrived within minutes, securing the area and assisting the aircrew. Officials reported no significant damage to nearby structures, and an investigation has been launched to determine exactly what led to the incident.
The event took place at Fort Novosel, formerly known as Fort Rucker, Alabama, which serves as the primary home of the U.S. Army's aviation training programs. The installation trains thousands of military pilots annually and plays a critical role in preparing Army aviators for missions around the world.
Among the aircraft commonly operated there is the AH-64
Apache, a combat helicopter renowned for its firepower, survivability, and advanced battlefield capabilities. Since its introduction into Army service in the mid-1980s, the Apache has remained a cornerstone of U.S. military aviation.

Manufactured by Boeing, the helicopter can fly at high speeds and carries a formidable weapons package that includes precision-guided missiles, rocket pods, and the well-known 30mm M230 chain gun. Its combination of mobility and firepower has made it one of the most respected attack helicopters ever built.
Army flight training demands exceptional skill, focus, and continuous preparation. While incidents during training are uncommon, they serve as reminders of the challenges military aviators face every day and the importance of highly trained emergency personnel who stand ready to respond at a moment's notice.
Fortunately, both crew members are expected to make a full recovery.
