On May 9, 2004, American Eagle flight 5401, an Avions de Transport Regional 72 operated by Executive Airlines, skipped once, bounced hard twice, and then crashed at Luis Munoz Marin International Airport, in San Juan, Puerto Rico, carrying 26 people. The airplane was destroyed, but only the captain was seriously injured. The National Transportation Safety Board blamed &quot;the captain’s failure to execute proper techniques to recover from the bounced landings and his subsequent failure to execute a go-around.&quot; Photo: National Transportation Safety Board
