The crash happened at about 10 a.m. on Oct. 19, 2021. The NTSB report states that the first officer who conducted the preflight inspection didn't follow updated procedures that would have identified jammed elevators. That equipment failure prevented the McDonnell Douglas MD-87 from becoming airborne.
