On December 3, 1990, North West Flight 299 collides on take-off with a DC9 which had lost its bearings in the dense fog. It would turn out to be the deadliest incident of its kind on U.S. soil in two decades.

The Captain of the DC-9 had just returned from a 6 year medical leave. The Co-Pilot lied several times prior to the flight about his history and military career to seem more equipped. The Captain essentially handed over complete control of his plane to his lying Co-Pilot and it cost him dearly.

True however there was enough blame to go around. Mistakes by the tower, bad route signage, faded route paints, lights not working. So there was more than just the bravado of the first officer and the timidity of the Captain to take control. But you are right that had the first officer admitted he was lost this crash would not have happened.

I had a boss who was on the DC9, during this incident. He was uninjured, apart from significant hearing loss and required hearing aids. When the topic came up, people would always say he was charmed, not to have been killed. Not long after he became my boss (about a decade after the accident) he suddenly took an extended medical leave. I'm not sure of the precise cause, but he collapsed as he was being sent home, because the doctors couldn't find anything wrong. It was only then, they realized he was having a rash of mini-strokes. He passed away at 52 years old, not long after that.

I was working as a baggage handler for NWA in DTW that day. Earlier before dawn a large wet heavy snow had fallen. Snow removal operations had pushed large high berms of snow to the outward edges of the runways. As morning progressed and the temperature warmed, it seemed clouds of fog were being generated. Visibility was quickly and vastly reduced

The signs at this airport at this time were very poor. The crews complained about them again and again but the airport authority, a typical government agency, did little to nothing about improvements. People died and lives ruined because of it. The tower could have stopped the takeoff and should have, the DC9 crew reported they were lost in the fog and thought they were on a runway.

Aaron Austrie Yea...that was so horrific. The fact everyone on one plane was killed....except for the lady who faked out the crew to stay behind. Her sneaky act (because of a love) saved her life. That day is every passengers, pilots, crews, and ATC nightmare made real. Only 9/11 was worse. Ironically The Miracle on the Hudson was pretty horrific for the the ATC talking to Sully over the air. When he lost contact he assumed the plane was down and everyone was dead. It’s standard procedure to remove the ATC communicating with that plane when this. Happens. They need to make in depth statements and notes what happened because the FAA is going to analyze everything to the atomic level. That ATC was being consulted and prepped to make official statements when another ATC burst in and let him know the plane actually landed in one piece in the Hudson and there were clearly survivors...heck looked like everyone made it! The ATC who though everyone was dead nearly burst into tears....of joy hearing that. Few ATCers return to their job after a disaster happens. Most are either fired, or to to traumatized to return to work. ATC is HYPER stressful work and have high divorce and mental health crisis rates. I have only heard of a hand full of cases where ATC returned after a horrible accident. One did in India after it was clear an in air collision between 2 planes were NOT his fault. He in fact did everything correct to a T. It was bad weather and bad communication in one of the other aircraft in the air. He returned, and was later asked to train new ATC how to keep the same thing that happened to him....from hopefully happening again. It I could see in the interview what happened still haunted him. You could see it in his eyes. But he returned to make sure what happened NEVER happens again.

The tower is the controlling agency in determining the visibility for takeoff. If this captain, especially with NorthWest Airlines, refused the takeoff by trying to insist the tower was wrong would have been infront of the chief pilot facing disciplinary charges. We, the pilots of NWA, complained for years over the POOR signs and markings at this airport. They did nothing. We also complained about the maintence practices a NWA on the aircraft. ONE thing, for a reason I can't understand is why the death of a flight attendant and some passengers as not discussed in this video, I watched the complete video. Was it whitewashed form the records so Smithsonian did not see it, or something else. It was a BIG, BIG part of this tragedy and should have been brought up. The 727 right wing just showed a fairly clean tear off at the end. Fact, one third of the wing was gone and fuel from that wing was gushing fuel.

@Jaylen Jackson this. Plus seems more concrete than pedals as most time is spent in the air where it does and in a car it does so when in terror we revert to instinct and it seems right. People underestimate, when sitting in doors with the lights on in the warm just how much sheer bloody panic can grip anyone however highly trained when things have gone very badly wrong. Outside of special forces possibly anyone is susceptible. They literally had just worked out its a runway then the captain thinks a bit like Cooper in Interstellar if that's a runway (a wave and its heading away from us) then that means (peers into fog/checks out the back) cue dramatic music as huge plane accelerating to take off speed looms out of the fog. Your brain short circuits to lizard responses fight or flight and you can't fight the thing you just have to GET OUT THE WAY! Well instinctively you wanna go left so you grip the thing most obviously that goes left however wrong in reality.

These planes runway taxi process and procedure can by fully automated to ensure all planes have multiple beacons that communicate with ground based beacons comfirming positions at each 'gate'...No more asking pilots where they think are in fog or darkness... Technology is simple and cheap to install in every plane...

Final Cause: Co Pilot of Flight 1482 was telling some fictional heroic things to Experienced Captain who had 7 years of medical leave. Flight 299 pilots delayed the takeoff due to issues, might be. Then Flight 1482 pilots taxied to the left side of the runway where Flight 299 had to takeoff and suddenly when Flight 299 took off, they saw Flight 1482 and turned but didn't. Then, both planes collided. 727 have wingtip damage which means it can be repaired. Even all survived. DC-9 had a damage on the right cabin which cause to fire. 8 died. So, the real cause is Pilot Error on the DC-9. If any corrections, please reply honestly. I have seen the episode of this.

In addition, there were other errors as well, all of which contributed to the cause. Visibility was below minimum, which meant the control tower should have closed the airport. There was an argument with two people working the control tower about this. One (female) made the estimation that the airport should be closed based on a machine calculation of some sort. The other-a male who may have been the senior of the two, said he could eyeball it and visibility was okay. He won out. Secondly, the 1482 captain and co-pilot knew they were lost on the runway before they even turned on the active runway, and should have pulled over when they realized this, as per regulations. Instead they told the tower that they were completely lost out there and a running commentary ensued. The co-pilot thought he knew where they were, despite his inexperience, and told the captain to turn on the active runway, thinking it was the parallel taxiway. This was a role reversal that shouldn’t have happened. Then they passed two lights that would have indicated they were on 21C active runway. These are meant to cut through low visibility with bright bulbs, but those bulbs were burned out. So the fault was placed on all three entities, the airline, the FAA (control tower) and Wayne County (runway lights). Due to the heavy fog, all of the emergency vehicles went to Flight 299 initially. They didn’t see 1482 for maybe 20 minutes (not sure about exact time).

I don't think that just saying "pilot error on the DC-9" is completely accurate. All of the parties involved made choices that day that contributed to the outcome. NW 1482 got lost, and kept going, despite both pilots repeatedly expressing concern and confusion, rather than stop and figure out where they actually were. ATC kept operating flights despite deteriorating weather that was below minimums, failed to effectively communicate with aircraft on the field, and failed to notice that an aircraft was reportedly travelling eastbound on taxiway that runs North/South. Wayne County Airport continued to operate a hazardous runway/taxiway intersection, despite it being clearly confusing and hazardous in good weather. The crew of NW 299 clearly recognized that they were below minimums (evidenced by the First Officer saying "Definitely not a quarter-mile, but at least they're calling it") and still elected to continue their takeoff despite having minimal visibility and response distance. Northwest Airlines knew of training that would improve crew communication, decision-making, and workload, and chose to save money instead. It's a web of causes, some more important, some less so, that, when all taken together, lead to the collision.

I love how in the recreation he turns the yoke to avoid colliding with the other plane on the runway. Just a tip...turning the yoke on the ground does NOTHING to steer your plane. It's either done with the rudder pedals or the tiller.

And of course, the armchair pilot of that airplane had several minutes to think that through, right? No. He was in an emergency, and his instincts took over. Hard left gave him a small chance of maybe lifting that right wing. The 727 was somewhere around or slightly over 100 knots, enough airspeed to have at least some lateral control, though obviously not enough.

IDK the speed they were at or how far away they noticed the DC10 but I'm guessing full back pressure, full left rudder, and full left aileron roll. Would instantly stall but if past Vs, they might have been able to get that right wing up in time and get ~100 ft agl. But idk the speed or distance so it's all speculation.
