    On 16 August 1987,

    shortly after takeoff

    from Detroit Metropolitan Airport, Northwest Airlines Flight 255

    stalls and crashes

    just beyond the runway,

    killing all

    but one of the 155 people on board and two people on the ground.

    Subsequent investigation

    showed that the pilots failed

    to configure the aircraft's flaps

    and slats for takeoff.



    It was also discovered

    that the aural takeoff warning

    did not sound,

    but for unknown reasons.
