The first rule of flying is to make sure you have enough fuel to land safely at an airport. The captain and crew failed to monitor the fuel level, therefore causing this emergency situation. Their attention to the landing gear issue should have become secondary when fuel began to run low, resulting in the lose of ten lives. Captain McBroom was lucky in finding the only suitable place to crash land.

A google search shows that this plane ran out of fuel because the crew circled over Portland while investigating an instrument problem with the landing gear. In retrospect, they could have landed the plane safely, but they spent too much time working the problem. The plane ran out of fuel, and 10 passengers died. The NTSB faulted the captain for management failure. The captain lost his pilots license afterwards. The NTSB went on to create new rules concerning shared responsibilities among flight crews.

I was at seminar in the '90s where Captain Al Haynes, United Airlines Flight 232 pilot, spoke. That man was a true hero. Although the plane last all hydraulics, and hence the ability to control it, he and his crew came up with a way to at least steer it by adjusting the engines' thrusts. He was very close to making a flawless landing until one wing dipped and hit the ground, but he saved 184 of 296 passengers. RIP, Captain Haynes.

Thanks to the pilot and supporting staff for managing the plane despite the drawbacks, positive things to hear in these terrifying investigations is that most survived, I saw on the net that out of 189 in the plane, 179 survived......

Hatts off to piolts. ❤ and psengers . Brave and cofident pilot who saved lives

That is the flight which ran out of fuel only because the captain dithered about dealing with a landing gear problem. He wasn’t sure if the gear was down and locked, so he circled until he ran out of fuel.

Usually when there are landing gear problems pilots are told to circle around until they reach a certain amount of fuel because if they crash it’ll be an explosion. I’m not sure how exactly he got to the point that he completely ran out or was too far away from the airport to land afterwards, but that is protocol for landing gear problems.

Wow. Could feel the chills.

I remember this. This aircraft ran out of fuel and crashed in the Parkrose neighborhood in northeast Portland just a few blocks from my Aunt and Uncle's home, skimming the roof of a grade school. I believe no one died in the crash but there were many injured and minor damage to a few homes.

I read up on this accident. Apparently there was a problem with the landing gear and the crew spent an hour flying over Portland with the gear and flaps down without any of them monitoring the fuel levels and noticing that they were burning fuel at an accelerated rate because of the gear and flaps. Sounds like a crew error problem.

Incredible aviation skills. And another reason to plant trees for us!

So setting down in a suburb with trees without injury? The crew in the passenger cabin didn't even have a chance to get anyone in their crash positions or put the occupants in a pre terrified state? Looks like that miracle is used up!
