AA FLIGHT STATUS FULL

As the aircraft began to climb, the damaged left wing вЂ“ with no engine вЂ“ produced far less lift ( stalled) than the right wing, which had its slats still deployed and its engine providing full takeoff thrust.

Aerodynamic forces acting on the wing resulted in an uncommanded retraction of the outboard slats. As the engine separated from the aircraft, it severed hydraulic fluid lines that lock the wing's leading-edge slats in place and damaged a 3-foot (0.9В m) section of the left wing's leading edge. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) found that as the aircraft was beginning its takeoff rotation, engine number one (the left engine) separated from the left wing, flipping over the top of the wing and landing on the runway. With 273 fatalities, it is the deadliest aviation accident to have occurred in the United States.

All 258 passengers and 13 crew on board were killed, along with two people on the ground.
