Pilot error blamed for United jet crash near Midway
The National Transportation Safety Board ruled the December crash that killed 63 people including Rep. George Collins and Michele Clark was caused by the captain and first officer failing to perform proper flight checks and manage air speed, not by sabotage. Evidence showed no medical incapacitation or interference. The aircraft and engines were found airworthy.
