On June 12, 1972, a robust explosion rocked American Airlines Trip 96 only five minutes after its takeoff from Detroit. The explosion ripped a gaping hole in underneath of the aircraft and jammed the hydraulic settings. Miraculously, regardless of the harm and ensuing chaos, the pilots were able to land the airplane safely. Less than two years later, on March 3, 1974, an abrupt, forceful blowout tore through Turk Hava Yollari (THY) Trip 981 from Paris to London. THY Trip 981 was not as lucky as Trip 96: it crashed in a forest in France, and none of the 346 people onboard survived. What caused the mysterious explosions? Were they associated? Could they have been prevented? This booklet addresses those questions and more, offering a exciting go through the two remarkable aviation disasters.
