My Dad, the late Capt. Jerry L. Bellmer was the F.O. on that flight (not Jason) . He was flying that leg of the flight and he would talk about this flight as if it happened yesterday. A true pilot who just loved to fly. I remember the award ceremony at the Mayflower hotel in D.C. Truly missed. Jim Bellmer

I was an Eastern DC9 Captain at the time. The plane was a longer -51 instead of the -31 depicted. The right thrust reverser had been deactivared by maintenance but incorrectly. The reverse unlock and reverse thrust lights displayed in the cockpit a few seconds after takeoff at about 160 kts, well above the takeoff safety speed of about 145. There was very little roll or yaw and the airplane was never out of control. The Captain was flying and the 1st officer had just completed captain upgrade training. Without any delay the 1st officer shut off the fuel control to the right engine and the emergency was contained. We all experienced the incident in our next simulator training/checks. You can't hear the engines in a DC 9 51 and only a faint noise when it went into reverse. There was surprisingly very little roll or yaw but a big decay in airspeed which was halted by the engine shutdown and energetic pushing the nose down from the normally high takeoff position. In my 21 years on the airplane, i never had a reverser fail to operate. The incident airplane had a leak that necessitated it being deactivated but it was such a rare event that maintence reversed the position of a handle that resulted in the reverser not being mechanically locked shut.

I was a mechanic at Eastern back then, Frank Borman was the beginning of the end. The baggage handlers had large number of votes, and voted for everything which benefited them, and hurt the airline, dumb ass*s the least skill guys making the most demands. After we shut down I ran into a baggage handler I knew, with some 15 years on the job, a very vocal guy against the airline. He was working at Home Depot, I couldn't help myself "are they treating you good here,a hole?" he couldn't look at me, a second one I saw was working at the flea market. Yeah their strategy to get more pay for less hours worked really well. I still miss 😢 Eastern, sometimes if I am watching a 1970 s show, and they are at the airport, I see one of our planes in the background, my chest tightens up a little. My life turned out O.K now a retired U.S. Marshal, just celebrated my 39th wedding anniversary, with a wonderful son who served two tours in Afghanistan as an Army medic with the 101st Airborne, he is today a fighter/paramedic. PS the DC 9 was one of my especialties.

@robertclark9 5 ай бұрын

When I saw the reverser deploy on the video, I said to myself “everyone on that plane is dead, they just don’t know it yet”. This Captain was able to survive the unsurvivable. Only by quick thinking, and immediate action. I hate to say it, but today in the same situation, 99 percent of crews would’ve gone down. The first officer made the call out, the Captain shut #2 down, and the plane instantly came back to them. OUTSTANDING!!!!! If I was on that flight, an enlarged photo of those two would be on my living room wall until the day I go under!

@californiadreaming9216 5 ай бұрын

robertclark your assessment of the remedial action taken with this near disaster is fundamentally correct. I would just add that the aircraft did not immediately come back to them because jet engines need to spool up and spool down.... they would not have recovered the aircraft immediately, she probably continued to bank right and was losing altitude even after corrective control surface measures were applied...for several agonizing seconds until flight crew fully regained control. And I agree 100 % that the airmanship and professionalism demonstrated by this crew was exemplary. It's no mystery that MANY flights which crashed would have had better outcomes except their flight crews either panicked, miscommunicated, overreacted or all of the above. See: Air France 447. Adrenaline is a bitch. Cheers.

I don’t care how many redundancies you have build into the design process to prevent a thrust reverser deploying in flight, this is a failure that should not be allowed to happen under any circumstances. Period. The fact that the Captain had the sensibilities to shut down the engine instead of trying to fly the aircraft out of the sudden roll is a miracle in itself..the medal he received was well deserved and his actions alone saved all of the souls on board that day.

I totally disagree. They didn't know what the f to do, because "there was no procedure outlining the steps pilots should follow", WTF! . Actually, its worse. They didn't even knew what was happening. It was the only thing they (captain) came up with and just by luck it worked. If I were the captain I wouldn't have taken any medal like he did. He kinda stole that medal; and he probably knew it, took it anyway! Eastern strategically gave him that medal to swift the negative narrative (very astute) and they ended up like heroes, instead of ending like fools, thus in shame. Well, shame on them because some of us know how those C levels think and work, thanks to the fact that we study aviation, strategic management and are pilots too. Its called "Deflection" in psychology by the way! Shame on them. No heroes here. Sully is trully a hero! So, no medals were deserved over this incident. They weren't prepared for this type of occurence, non of them were beyond the pilots. Maintenance crew f up too. Not saved by the bell, but saved by the lady luck.

N8922E That DC-9 was delivered in 1967 to Eastern Air Lines, then delivered to Midway Airlines in 1991 flying with them for three years before going to Ascera Airlines in 1994. This plane flew with Eastern for over 24 years before transferring to Midway in 1991, and it still flew for another three years. That’s one reliable plane flying for so long, despite the issue it faced. In fact, there is still a DC-9 that is in storage with Acera Airlines, it is almost 57 years old, being built in 1968.

Severa things here in commentary are a bit misleading. There are no button pushers in the Airlines. During your interview and training you have to hand fly the aircraft for a period [ if not all ] during operations, most pilots sharpen their skills by operating without autopilots, I want to emphasize that a good flight management technique is to use Automation in any situation where it will allow a greater awareness of your environment. many aircraft are test flown by the manufacturers with one reverser deployed. When reversers are extended there are reverse lights in the cockpit that will warn you of that event [ and other events ]. normally the pilot who is not in control of the aircraft will call out loudly " left [ or right ] reverser deployed "; immediate checklist follows. and finally, one of the objectives in that malfunction is to respond to the emergency before the aircraft begins to roll and descend.

@@dareisnogod5711 I never said I WAS a pilot, since they can’t physically see the engines and reversers, I was just asking a question. Are you a pilot? Probably not because you didn’t answer the question you only made a derogatory comment about me.

Yes, there are lights in the cockpit to indicate reverser deployment.

I wonder if this incident had anything to do with the war between management and the employees. Deliberate slowdowns and possible sabotage by certain employees willing to harm the airline's on-time performance. I was on an A300 from ATL-SFO in December '83 when I looked out the window while we were still boarding to see what looked like a waterfall coming out from under the right wing and pouring onto the ramp. Several minutes later we were told of a mech delay. That turned into a 4 hour delay before we finally took off. My EA flight coming back to ATL from SFO a week later was cancelled for some unknown reason. All the pax were put on a Delta flight and we continued to Atlanta. I don't know what was going on during '83-'84 but management and workers were at each other's throats.

Taken aback at the notion that there wasn't a Thrust Reverser Deployed In-Flight boldface EP for the DC-9. Even the Sabreliner I flew had that in the manual.
