Surprisingly, there is no evidence that they did any kind of inspection of the engine. Witnesses present when they took off again say they did not do an engine runup. They also reported hearing odd engine noises as the plane took off.Todd and John discuss how the decisions made by the pilot were the primary cause of this plane crash.
