Dr. Todd Curtis reviews the preliminary findings in the
investigation of the 20 August 2008 crash of a Spanair MD82 in
Madrid. Spanish investigators reportedly found that the flaps were
not properly configured for takeoff and that the crew flap
configuration alarm was not activated. A video taken by the Spanish
airport authorities also show that there was no indication of a
fire or explosion while the aircraft was airborne.
