I was on the flight, I have some great
pictures of the evacuation,
press clips and stories. Your
questionnaire is quite lengthy so
it may take awhile to fill it out and
get it to you, but I will try
after the holidays.

Douglas DC-10 (N1032F)
New York, 12/11/1975

In 1975, an Overseas National Airways DC-10-30 was destroyed 
as the result of ingesting several gulls into one of its 
engines during its takeoff roll at Kennedy Airport. The 
resultant catastrophic explosive disintegration of the engine 
caused the wing and side of the aircraft to burn intensely 
even before the aircraft came to rest beyond the end of 
the runway.
