Flew out of Baltimore yesterday & noticed a sad DC-10 out on its own.
Wondered about it…so looked it up. It’s the remains of “World Airways 8535”. It basically crashed at BWI in 2009, but then actually went around, back into the sky. Pilot error x2.
They hit so hard their instruments failed & they couldn’t climb into the clouds. The jet was a total write-off that took flight for a few more minutes.
On inspection after the second landing, it was clear it could never fly again. They apparently turned it into a training tool for local police & firefighters.
Tough jet! Video below:
