Corsair Flight 837

Corsair Flight 837 was a jetliner that crashed into the sea off the coast of the United States on July 17, 1994, shortly after takeoff from Miami International Airport. The aircraft, a Convair 580 cargo plane operated by Corsair Aviation, experienced a loss of engine power, likely due to maintenance issues and fuel problems, leading to an inability to climb or maintain altitude. The crew attempted to turn back but ultimately crashed into the Atlantic Ocean, resulting in the deaths of both pilots. The accident highlighted the importance of thorough maintenance and operational safety procedures in aviation.
