Reviews two major aviation tragedies, each triggered by preventable maintenance errors that set off fatal chains of events.
The first case recounts the 1975 crash of a C-5A Galaxy during Operation Babylift. Shortly after takeoff, the aircraft’s cargo door failed because critical locking components had been installed incorrectly. The door blew out, causing explosive decompression and severing key control systems. With only limited maneuverability left, the crew attempted an emergency landing near Saigon, but the aircraft crashed, resulting in heavy loss of life.
The second incident describes the 2005 ditching of Tuninter Flight 1153. During maintenance, the wrong fuel quantity indicator was installed, giving the pilots the false impression that the aircraft carried enough fuel. In reality, the tanks were nearly empty. Both engines eventually flamed out over the Mediterranean, forcing the crew to ditch the aircraft at sea.
Both investigations revealed how maintenance shortcuts, oversight failures, and operational misjudgments combined to create disasters that could have been avoided — and led to important safety improvements in their aftermath.
