AA 191 DC-10 incident (1979) revisited

41 years ago about this time AA 191 crashed after on takeoff at ORD. God Bless all those that were lost. The captain of the flight Walter Lux also flew the inbound flight from PHX. He was not suppose to fly flight 191 he was assigned it at the last minute. He was scheduled to be off.
The engine change occurred at the Tulsa maintenance facility at the end of March. Just think how many different flights this aircraft goes before the May accident. Could have happened at another airport depending on the takeoff path many more people could have been lost.
