2. Accidents and ethical scandals
2.1 DC 10 accident (1974)
-
An unmissable story
The crash of Turkish Airlines DC 10 flight 981 on March 3, 1974 in the Ermenonville forest, which killed 346 people, was the deadliest accident in civil aviation at the time. It was linked to a weak hydraulic control system. It was the subject of an in-depth journalistic investigation, published in 1975 and translated into French the following year. It is a particularly well-documented case of engineering ethics, one of the most cited in specialized literature, along with the Challenger shuttle accident. It is cited in most North American engineering ethics textbooks, as well as in the only French textbook published to date
