The aircraft had suffered a series of incidents in the two years before the crash, including two aborted takeoffs and eight emergency landings. The aircraft was powered by two Pratt & Whitney JT8D-9A turbofan engines. McDonnell Douglas then sold the plane to ValuJet in 1993. The airframe flew for Delta until the end of 1992, when it was retired and sold back to McDonnell Douglas. Its first flight was Apand it was delivered to Delta on as N1281L. It was 27 years old at the time of the accident and had been previously flown by Delta Air Lines. The aircraft, a DC-9-32 registered N904VJ, was the 496th DC-9 assembled at the Long Beach plant. Īfter AA Flight 132, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) recommended to the FAA that all class D cargo holds have smoke detectors and fire suppression systems. On February 3, 1988, American Airlines Flight 132 (operated by a McDonnell Douglas MD-80) had a similar incident to that which later downed ValuJet Flight 592: a fire began in the cargo hold while the plane was in flight, caused by hazardous materials (primarily hydrogen peroxide), but in that case the crew landed the aircraft safely. In 1986, an American Trans Air McDonnell Douglas DC-10 being serviced at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport had been destroyed on the ground by a fire caused by chemical oxygen generators. military refused ValuJet's bid to fly military personnel because of safety worries, and officials at the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) wanted the airline to be grounded. The company quickly developed a reputation for its lax safety. Many of the airline's planes were purchased used from other airlines, little training was provided to workers, and contractors were used for maintenance and other services. ValuJet Airlines was founded in 1992 and was known for its sometimes aggressive cost-cutting measures. It acquired AirTran in 1997, but the lingering damage to the ValuJet name led ValuJet executives to assume the AirTran name. When operations resumed, ValuJet was unable to attract the same amount of customers that it had before the accident. The airline was grounded for several months after the accident. The airline already had a poor safety record before the crash, and the accident brought widespread attention to the airline's problems. On May 11, 1996, the ValuJet Airlines McDonnell Douglas DC-9 operating the route crashed into the Everglades about 10 minutes after taking off from Miami as a result of a fire in the cargo compartment caused by mislabeled and improperly stored hazardous cargo. ValuJet Airlines Flight 592 was a regularly scheduled flight from Miami International Airport to Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport. Hartsfield Atlanta Int'l Airport, Atlanta, Georgia
