Delta Air Lines Flight 1141 was a flight that flew from Jackson to Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport to Salt Lake City International Airport in Salt Lake City, Utah. On August 31, 1988, Flight 1141 crashed after takeoff from Dallas-Fort Worth Airport.
Two of the seven crew members and twelve of the 101 passengers on board lost their lives.
On this occasion, the aircraft was a Boeing 727 Advanced, registration number N473DA. It was delivered in 1973, the 992nd Boeing 727 to be delivered.
Two facts were primarily blamed for the tragedy of flight 1141: The crew had not ensured that the wing's flaps were properly positioned for take-off, and the plane's unprepared take-off horn was not functioning. As a result, the plane struck a nearby object immediately after taking off, causing the accident.
In an unexpected sequel to the investigation, the broadcast of the cockpit voice recorder (CVR) by the media demonstrating why the crew mistakenly mispositioned the flaps, provoked such an outcry by pilots, that subsequent releases of CVR data are protected by law and are carefully vetted by the NTSB. FAA regulations require a sterile cockpit before takeoff. This means there is to be no conversation outside of talk pertaining to the plane and pending flight. (For example, reviewing Pre-Takeoff checklists.) The CVR tapes recorded extensive talk about the pilots' mixed beverages and the dating habits of the flight attendants.
After impact, the aircraft broke into two peices and skidded to a stop some four thousand feet from the end of the runway. As evacuation procedures were begun, a fire broke out near the fuel lines to the engines in the rear of the aircraft. Out of the 108 passengers and crew aboard, 14 did not live to tell their story. The Captain was the last person to leave the aircraft alive, removed some 45 minutes after the accident.

It is indeed interesting, but they're not necessarily hiding the facts by withdrawal of CVR publication. I could imagine the pressure of the public after every single CVR is published, if anything like this conversation goes on, the NTSB will be under tremendous pressure to contribute the crash to the pilots regardless of mitigating circumstances.
I believe many accidents can be contributed to pilot error and NTSB didn't show signs to steer away from that.

consult NTSB records for Delta 1141 please. You will see the transcript matching the CVR recording here

Yeah screaming is a common result of off roading in 70 tons of metal moving at 160 knots being torn to pieces while your inside...kinda a violent expierence

@Karl0010 What a load of BS, show us all the source?? We're Waiting. You're as Retarded as Ichnusa66. Now go play in the yard with the other kids.!!
Karl0010(1 week ago)
Well for a start happymana it's a cockpit voice recorder. Not a "black box" which is the dumbass name given to flight data recorders. If the release of a recording is shown to be iin the public interest then it can be made public. This recording came from a long time ago, long before the internet so you probably won't find it on any crash investigation websites. Don't get too upset happmana, you will learn these things as you grow.

@ichnusa66 We're completetly fed with your BS False claims, show us the link on the Air crash website where this has been made public,?? We're all waiting.! Tick tock tick tock tick tock...YAWN..........

@happymana Just chill out! I'm completely fed up with your stupid answer. Consult web site airdisaster and read: it's authoritative and influential.
happymana(1 week ago)
@ichnusa66 so if I'm wrong can you show me the air crash investigation website with the link where they have made it public??Bet you can't, why, because you're talking absolute shit.

In other words-HUMAN ERROR.OR INCOMPETENCE.
One more situation of INEPT MORONS who should have been fired a long time ago.
ed11561(2 weeks ago)
FUCK THE PILOTS UNION. They were the reason that the NTSB will cover-up all crashes in the future-NOT THAT THEY HAVEN'T LIED ABOUT EVERY OTHER CRASH ANYWAY.That one wih the FAKE rudder controls was a fucking joke.The other one with flying into the other jets slipstream was another joke.The NTSB is a farce.They should be shut down& a civilian operation should be put in their place.

@MohanndasChutney thank you for taking the time to explain further pot meet kettle indeed
MohanndasChutney(3 weeks ago)
The most interesting fact surrounding this crash was that the public were so outraged by this CVR recording (with flight crew violating sterile cockpit protocol) that the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) stopped releasing raw data from CVRs.
In other words, rather than enforcing the rules which could have prevented this act of negligence, the NTSB thought hiding the facts would be a better approach.

@wandaslice
1) "If" not "if." We capitalize at the beginning of a new sentence;
2) The word "your" is a possessive. You meant to use "you're," which is a contraction of "you are;"
3) Proper nouns, like "Einstein" must be capitalized;
4) You also failed to spell "Einstein" correctly.
5) Pot, meet kettle.

At the time, Delta procedure was to keep flaps up until reaching the active runway. Upon taxi, if the flaps were up and enough power were added, the takeoff warning horn would sound a very loud alert. The second officer would habitually reach back and pull the circuit breaker for the takeoff configuration warning horn to stop the noise. With all the delay to the runway, the conversation with the flight attendant, the flaps were never deployed and the takeoff warning horn was never reset.

no man, they´re screaming..they crashed ´cause the aircraft wasn´t properly configured for takeoff....not nice...
