Northwest jet crash may be caused by crew error
Northwest Flight 255 crash investigators pursue human error as a possible cause. Preliminary flight data suggest the MD-80 crew did not extend wing flaps for takeoff or complete the takeoff checklist, while weather may have influenced events. Engines were removed for inspection and samples gathered to determine whether wind shear or engine issues contributed to the disaster. The sole survivor, Cecilia Cichan, remains in serious but stable condition, with her mother praised for shielding her from heat and flames.

Wind shear protection still lagging
The development of radar systems to detect wind shear remains slow and sporadic. Investigators consider wind shear a possible cause of the Northwest Airlines crash near Detroit, with a warning issued 30 minutes prior and runway changes made to avoid shears. Doppler radar plans face budget limits, delaying widespread installation from 1990 to beyond, while LLWS devices show limited effectiveness.
