Continentals official cites mechanics error in DC-10 cracks
Continental vice president of maintenance Martin V. Taylor tells an NTSB hearing that two cracks found last December and February occurred when mechanics removed the engine and pylon as a unit and banged together two parts of the support. Investigators contend the relaxed procedure may have caused a 10 inch crack in the American Airlines DC-10 pylon that failed on takeoff killing 273 people. Douglas Aircraft officials say the pylon design, not the maintenance method, caused the crack. Connections to United and Western airlines are noted, while American cites an unprecedented design problem and examines maintenance at Tulsa. Douglas plans no redesign unless evidence warrants it.
