On the 12th of June, 1972 , American Airlines flight 96, a McDonnel Douglas DC10-10, suffered a sudden depressurisation when its rear cargo-door detached inflight over Windsor, Ontario.
This explosive failure partly disabled the aircrafts flight controls as well as one engine. The Pilots and Cabin-crew managed to get the stricken aircraft down safely on the ground, saving everybody onboard.
In this episode I will explain what happened and WHY.
