Problem
Value Jet 592 was a Douglas DC-9 aircraft operated by ValuJet Airlines that took off from Miami International Airport bound for Atlanta Hartsfield Jackson Airport in Georgia, in 1996. Only eight minutes later, a fire that had started during take-off, started to spread throughout the cargo hold, eventually engulfing the cabin and cockpit, which caused the electrical systems to fail. When captain Candi Kubeck and the crew knew that this was the turning point of life or death and while the pilots were overwhelmed by the perilous situation, the smoke gradually started to take over them while the DC-9 was in a nosedive. At this point, the pilots and crew were both unconscious causing flight 592 to crash into the Florida Everglades.
