I have a cousin who went down in the L-1011 that crashed in the Everglades in the 70’s. Broke her back, and spent a long time in the hospital, but she made it.
That would be just after Christmas, 1972 if memory serves.
Eastern flight 401.
I read on that one quite a bit.
Two different computers on an early model. I7 and I8 between pilot and copilot. Not sure which autopilot computer on which side.
Pilot must have accidentally bumped stick at 2,000 altitude hold when he got up.
Copilot did not apparently feel the autopilot disengage. Plane descending at 3fps.
Nobody noticed nor monitored the altimeter. Midnight over the Everglades.
When they turned back for Miami they were already banking when they noticed they were at 50 feet.
Another aircraft saw it and reported they drove it right into the ground. Wingtip caught of course.
Very tragic. Very few survived, wow.
