NTSB Accident History (1)

Date	NTSB #	Damage	Highest Injury	Probable Cause
Jul 6, 1996	DCA96MA068	Substantial	Fatal	the fracture of the left engine's front compressor fan hub, which resulted from the failure of Delta Air Lines' fluorescent penetrant inspection process to detect a detectable fatigue crack initiating from an area of altered microstructure that was created during the drilling process by Volvo for Pratt & Whitney and that went undetected at the time of manufacture. Contributing to the accident was the lack of sufficient redundancy in the in-service inspection program. (NTSB Report AAR-98/01)
