Engine trouble caused 727 crash
The Associated Press
GRAPEVINE, Texas — A coocktaker tape recorder showed that pilots had talked about an engine problem right after takeoff, seconds before the jetliner crashed in thames, killing 13 people, a study found.
Investigators on the scene of the crash at Dallas-Port Worth International Airport scrutinized a rear engine and searched for more clues to the cause, Wednesday. Nearly 100 people survived the wreck.
"Shortly after takeoff there was a sound, (apparently a) warning a stall condition may be approaching," said Lee Dickinson, a member of the National Transportation Safety Board. He said

The same flight yesterday from Dallas-Fort Worth to Salt Lake City was aborted when the pilot detected a problem with his plane.
the sound came from the shaking of the "stick," a device similar to a steering wheel, that automatically moves the car forward.
The same flight yesterday from Dallas-Fort Worth to Salt Lake City was aborted when the pilot detected a problem with his plane. Most of the 102 passengers, including six survivors of the crash Wednesday, left about two hours later on another plane, Delta officials said.
The problem with yesterday's Flight 1141 may have stemmed from a minor stall. Berry said. At the time the pilot decided to abort the takeoff, the aircraft was slowing down stopping the takeoff was relatively easy, he said.
"The captain feels that he had what is called a compressor stall," Berry said. "There was a crosswind blowing across the runway. That can interrupt the smoothness of the airflow that goes into the engine, creating a temporary loss of power."
Berry said that in each minor stalls, pilots often just increase the engine speed and take off with no problem. But yesterday, he said, the pilot was still cautious, because of Wednesday's crash.
