Something as small as AN screws may not seem like a big deal. But in the wake of the recent Continental Airlines Flight 1404 crash, the worst in the history of Denver International Airport (DIA), it’s clear that even the smallest AN MS NAS components are vital to aircraft functionality and safety. In the case of the DIA crash, a combination of braking difficulties and a strong crosswind were likely to blame, though the federal investigation may reveal additional or different details.
The runway excursion at DIA caused the jet to smash into a ravine about 2,000 feet from the runway and the fuselage to catch fire. Additionally, one engine and part of the landing gear were torn from the aircraft. Fortunately, the 115 passengers and crew members onboard were able to escape and only two suffered critical injuries.
