The pilots, unable to see the wings and unaware that they were losing fluid and therefore control, attempted to keep themselves in the air and perform the proper procedure for engine failure during takeoff. However, the damaged left wing stalled, and the airplane rolled into a dive and crashed into an open field. Debris was thrown into a nearby trailer park, destroying several trailers and cars and an old aircraft hanger, as well as severely injuring several people on the ground and killing two. Everyone onboard was killed by the impact or resulting fuel fire. The entire DC-10 fleet was temporarily grounded while investigators determined which other planes had also been damaged by these incorrect maintenance procedures.
