ValuJet Flight 592 was a regularly scheduled flight from Miami International Airport to Hartsfieldโ€“Jackson Atlanta International Airport. On May 11, 1996, the ValuJet Airlines McDonnell Douglas DC-9 operating the route crashed into the Everglades about 10 minutes after taking off from Miami as a result of a fire in the cargo compartment caused by improperly stored cargo. All 110 people on board perished.[1] The airline already had a poor safety record before the crash, and the accident brought widespread attention to the airline's problems. The airline was grounded for several months after the accident. When operations resumed, ValuJet had a decline in full fare passengers leading executives to believe that using AirTran Airways' brand name was advantageous after the airline acquired them. To date, the accident remains the deadliest in Florida's history.

 

VICTIMS

Notable passengers killed on the flight included:[12]

 

San Diego Chargers running back Rodney Culver and his wife

Songwriter and musician Walter Hyatt

 

Recovery of the passengers and crew took several weeks and little in the way of intact human remains was found due to the sheer violence of the impact, immersion in swamp water, and scavenging wildlife. About 68 of the 110 persons aboard the plane were identified, in some cases from examining jawbones, and at least one individual from a single tooth. A piece of torn flesh was proven to belong to First Officer Hazen, but Captain Kubeck's remains were never found. Due to the above-mentioned factors, performing toxicology tests on the passenger and crew remains to determine how much exposure they would have had to fumes and smoke from the in-flight fire was not possible.

COPS happened to be taping with the Miami-Dade Police Department when the accident occurred. As a result, season 9, episode 12, aired featuring some of the first 911 calls and the initial investigations into the accident. Three National Geographic shows, Why Planes Crash ("Fire In The Sky"), Seconds From Disaster ("Florida Swamp Air Crash"), and Mayday ("Fire in the Hold"),[14] covered the crash. It was also featured in the last episode of the four-part Travel Channel series Probable Cause: Air Crash Investigations (Acceptable Risk). It was also referenced in the first CSI: Miami episode ("Golden Parachute") in 2002, as well as a second-season episode ("Wannabe") in 2004. The 2009 Law & Order episode ("By Perjury") was also based on the case.
