Firemen count the wreckage of the DC-10 disaster. On May 25 shortly after takeoff from Chicago's O'Hare International Airport, an American Airlines jetliner lost its left engine and plunged to the ground, killing 272 passengers aboard plus three persons on the ground. This was the worst disaster in the history of U.S. aviation.
