As a student pilot it was repeatedly drilled into me that regardless of what else was happening “Fly the damn plane”.
Thats the one with all the “haunted” airplane parts that got salvaged and put on other airplanes.

An acquaintance of mine (older brother of a good buudy) was on a plane that crashed in Miami, but I don’t believe it was this one. I think the plane he was on went off the runway into the water circa early ‘80s(?), and most (or all) of the passengers survived. My acquaintance helped get people out of the water and off the plane after the crash.
You don’t get to know too many plane crash survivors.....
I worked for EAL, for a time, in the late 80’s. Aircraft #318, another L1011 was the infamous ‘Ghost Plane’, and had recieved most of the salvageable parts from the crashed L1011. I was always weird working around that aircraft after hearing the stories of experiences on it.
