Spantax Flight 995

The flight had begun in Palma de Mallorca earlier in the morning, and made a routine stopover at Madrid–Barajas Airport, before arriving in Málaga.Immediately Captain Perez slammed the aircraft's nose gear down and applied full reverse thrust and brakes.The aircraft overshot the runway, hitting an ILS facility and metal fence, passing over the M-21 Highway, striking a truck, and colliding with a farm building.The reconstructed data showed a power cutout for engine number 3 on the right side, due to the captain's finger slipping on the throttle lever.The investigation found that a maintenance error had caused weak glue on the tires to sever on the takeoff roll, most likely due to the heavy payload.The committee also called for passengers to be briefed about the dangers of taking their bags along with them and for crews to be in close reach of safety equipment such as megaphones and flashlights.
