This three-dimensional animated accident reconstruction shows most of the flight for American Airlines flight 587, which crashed shortly after takeoff from JFK International airport on November 12, 2001. The reconstruction exhibits information selected from the flight data recorder, excerpts from the cockpit voice recorder transcript, recorded radar data, and aircraft performance data. This reconstruction does not depict the weather or visibility conditions at the time of the accident.The animation shows a three-dimensional model of the airplane and its motion in the upper portion of the view. Selected comments from the cockpit voice recorder transcript or other annotations are superimposed as text in this area at the time they occurred.The lower portion of the view depicts a set of instruments and indicators, which display selected parameters from the flight data recorder.The animation starts with the airplane on the ground, taxiing to runway 31L. It shows the airplane's taxi, takeoff, climbout, and initial turn to the left. The rudder parameters are blanked out at the time the tail section separates from the airplane. The screen turns black at the point in time when the flight data recorder information ends (only cockpit voice recorder text or annotations are shown after this point).This animation does not include sound.

how could it have been a bomb if the tail fell of but the rest of the plane was fine

The NTSB Board determined that the probable cause of the accident was the in-flight separation of the vertical stabilizer due to high aerodynamic loads from the First Officer's unnecessary and excessive rudder inputs in response to wake turbulence from a preceding Japan Air Lines Boeing 747. Contributing to these inputs were characteristics of the airplane's rudder system design and elements of the airline's pilot training program.Nothing more to add...

Accualy there was a histroy channel documentary on this, the cauase of the crash was overcontroling of the rudder, which e miminked the affect as if they were stuck in heavy wake turbulance, so the pilot treid to correct the probably by stepping on the ruder pedals, but he overcontroled unknown to him and the tail accualy ripped off, lost cotrol, and the plane went into some bay.

You would have to climb to get out of wake turbulence.

it wired he was so violent with the controls i bet i they went into a simulator and did the same violent controls without turbulance that it would still crash bit surspicous

maybe because microsoft doesn't make a copy for their ibm rs 6000 mainframe

Well for one thing if the U.S government told the truth that it was a terrorist bomb then the aviation industry would have sunk. It was already in the pits from 9/11. this would have killed the industry so they had to lie.

Perhaps if the pilots had maybe descended, since they said they were "stuck in wake turbulence"....maybe it would never had happened. I don`t know, I find this "accident" highly suspicious. What is the Gov`t hiding ??
