The plane could hold up to one hundred and twenty-eight passengers as well. These specifications go to show how much of an original and revolutionary plane was created by the minds of intelligent engineers. However, engineers can make mistakes and jeopardize the integrity of their profession.

For the passengers and crew of Flight 4590, the next minute and forty seconds would be their last. At 2:42 a.m and fifty-four seconds problems begin to arise. At the exact moment that the pilot (who was not flying the plane), announces one…
