References. For the description of the airline crash, I relied on National Transportation Aircraft Accident Report, Northwest Airlines, Inc. McDonnell Douglas DC-9-82, N312RC, Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport, Romulus, Michigan, August 16, 1987". Also see John Lauber, "Northwest 255 at DTW: Anatomy of a Human Error Accident," Human Factors & Aviation Medicine 36, no.4, (1989). Also see the National Transportation Safety Board, Washington, D.C. 20594, Safety Recommendation, A-88-64 through -70" June 27, 1988.

I also relied on media accounts for details about the passengers including Bill Peterson, "The Final Moments of a Flight to Disaster," The Washington Post. August 23, 1987. Also see Steven R. Churm, “Flight 255: Life or Death Turned on Twists of Fate : 7 Who Died in Crash Shared Hope for Their Future in Orange County; 3 Who Missed Plane Saved by Luck,” Los Angeles Times.
