Safety issues discussed in this report include the
effects of improper cargo loading on airplane
performance and handling, operator oversight of cargo
loading and training of cargo loading personnel, the
loss of critical flight data recorder information, and
FAA surveillance of cargo carrier operations.
Fine Air was an international cargo airline. It began in
1989 under the supervising eye of owner J. Frank Fine.
When it was flying, Fine Air had various members of the
Fine family work at different capabilities. Fine Air'
hubs were in Miami International Airport, Hartsfield
International Airport in Atlanta and Luis Muñoz Marín
International Airport in Puerto Rico. It operated DC-8
and Lockheed L-1011 type jets.
It
was reported the pilots, departing out of the former
Runway 27R (now 26L) attempted to recover but the
aircraft stalled and crashed onto a field adjacent the
Miami City Rail Yard less than a mile from the airport.
The aircraft missed two factories, a commercial
building, and the Budweiser Distribution Center in
unincorporated Miami, Florida between the populated
residential suburbs of Miami Springs and Doral, FL.
The DC-8 skidded across the field and onto NW 72nd Ave,
a roadway that is typically full of traffic during the
lunch hour but was surprisingly quiet at 12:36p EST when
it came down. The plane's wreckage skidded quickly
across the roadway and onto the parking lot of a
commercial mini-mall across the street from the empty
field; it took out 26 cars in the lot.
