Agencies dispute DC-10 crash cause amid bolt fracture debate
FAA and NTSB officials clashed over whether the wing engine loss doomed the DC-10 on departure from O’Hare. Investigators weigh if the plane could have continued to an emergency landing while the death toll rises beyond 273 as medical examiners review an infant and a child not on the passenger list. The FAA ordered inspections and grounding for uninspected DC-10s, with airlines reporting mostly clear findings on bolts connecting engines to wings.
