On June 23, 1967, an airplane owned by Mohawk Airlines crashed in Blossburg, Pennsylvania. The airplane crashed after an in-flight fire destroyed the pitch control systems. All 34 people aboard were killed. A valve was installed backwards, which caused hot air to ignite hydraulic fluid.
What caused the accident? Something that was certainly not part of the routine checklist a pilot might go over before takeoff, and something that was not thought to be a problem, turned out to destroy everything.
