ValuJet Flight 592
ValuJet Flight 592 was a regularly scheduled flight from Miami International Airport to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. On May 11, 1996, the McDonnell-Douglas DC-9 operating the route crashed into the Everglades shortly after taking off from Miami as a result of a fire in the cargo compartment caused by improperly stored cargo, killing all 110 people on board.〔("NTSB Report AAR97-06" )〕 The airline already had a poor safety record before the crash, and the crash brought widespread attention to the airline's problems. Because of this incident, the airline was grounded for several months after the accident and was forced to acquire another brand (Air Tran) to continue to stay in business.
==Background==
ValuJet Airlines was founded in 1992 and was known for its cost-cutting measures. All of the airline's planes were purchased used from other airlines, very little training was provided to workers, and contractors were used for maintenance and other services. The company quickly developed a reputation for its lax safety. In 1995, the U.S. military refused ValuJet's bid to fly military personnel because of safety worries, and officials at the FAA wanted the airline to be grounded.
In 1996, an American Trans Air McDonnell-Douglas DC-10 being serviced at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport was destroyed by a fire caused by a chemical oxygen generator. In 1988, American Airlines Flight 132 (a McDonnell-Douglas MD-80, the successor airplane to the DC-9) had a similar accident. A fire began in the cargo hold, caused by hazardous materials (primarily hydrogen peroxide), but the crew landed the aircraft safely. After this incident, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) recommended to the FAA that all class D cargo holds have smoke detectors and/or fire suppression systems.
