Douglas chief defends firm on cargo door
U S aviation investigators tentatively concluded the Turkish DC-10 crash near Paris on March 3 was caused by improper closure of the rear portside bulk cargo door. The door separated from the aircraft and was found seven miles from wreckage with bodies of six passengers and cargo rear cabin parts. Investigators noted the cargo handler who secured the door was illiterate, making printed instructions useless. Decompression from the door’s loss likely collapsed the cabin floor and damaged controls. Douglas officials claimed a safety part had been installed, though records show it had not. other aircraft reportedly did have the part. Brizendine asserted continued investigation and emphasized safety confidence in Douglas aircraft including the DC-10. The testimony followed questioning of FAA head Shaffer about pressure to issue directives versus service bulletins. Shaffer admitted issuing a service bulletin without an airworthiness directive, and said follow up procedures failed. He denied knowledge of campaign contributions or attempts to solicit funds for Nixon’s reelection. He also said an airworthiness directive would not have prevented the Paris crash.

Esch, the rule would force actions like voluntary transfers, school construction, and attendance-zone revisions before any busing and cap busing to the nearest schools.
