Continental Airlines Flight 1713 crashed while taking off in a snowstorm from Stapleton International Airport in Denver, Colorado on 15 November 1987. The Douglas DC-9-14 was operated by Continental Airlines and was a scheduled flight to Boise, Idaho.〔http://aviation-safety.net/database/record.php?id=19871115-0〕 Twenty-five passengers and three crew members died in the crash. == Accident == Continental Airlines Flight 1713 was scheduled to leave Denver at 12:25 PM MST, but many flights out of Denver that day were delayed by inclement weather. The flight was cleared for takeoff at 2:14 PM Mountain Time. As the plane was taking off, it over-rotated; the aircraft descended and the left wing struck the ground, causing the wing to separate. The left side of the plane and cockpit struck the ground next and the plane continued rolling, inverted. Of the 82 occupants on board (77 passengers and 5 crew), 28 were killed while 54 survived. The majority of the passengers who died were in the front and left side of the aircraft. As the plane skidded, the left side was tilted over and the tail was inverted; this action caused the middle part of the plane to squeeze and crush many of the passengers on board. Fitzsimmons Army Medical Facility sent its personnel to assist in the triage of passengers. Of the passengers that died, 16 died of blunt trauma and 12 died of mechanical asphyxia.〔(NTSB report AAR88-09 ) (Page 28 of 99).〕 Of the passengers who survived, 24 received minor injuries and 27 received serious injuries.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Continental Airlines Flight 1713」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
