one of the craziest crashes of 1996 is an aeroperu 757 from lima to santiago with 70 people on board with experienced pilots the fo david fernadezs uncule will investigate the accident stranegly. almost immediately after take off the altitude and speed indications fail which confuses the crew and they head out over water before requesting return to lima but get a lot of false warnings and can’t work the auto pilot due to the instruments not working including ruder ratio, mach speed trim, overspeed, stall, over speed and stall at the same time which at this point the fo decides to get help from another plane a 707 the altitude is never right but they get the groundd speed from atc and the plane is controable but it is a crazy emergency and the crew were right saying ground crew could have mishandeld the plane not realising they had been decending even when the gpws goes off which is the only correct alarm they get as its powered seperately so even when they think they are near 10000 feet with breaks on which makes no sense the crew try and stay aloft but suddenly one of the wings hits the ocean after 20 seconds of battling to save the 757 it sinks killing all on board. the cause was a peice of tape on the pitot tubes left by ground crew by accident due to cleaning the guy is charged with man slaughter which is harsh and ends the airlines operations 3 years later after a long battle to see whose responsible which is hard to say but proably the airline more than the manufacturor boeing.
next time a whistle blower can’t save 88 lives.
