Part 7/12:
At approximately 23:20, the flight was finally ready to take off. The first officer called for startup clearance, and the aircraft taxied towards Runway 08, a rather uneventful process at first. But as they transitioned into the takeoff roll, something went terribly amiss.
As the aircraft accelerated down the runway, the first officer called, "80 knots," warning the pilot flying to cross-check airspeed indicators, a procedure critical for confirming operational safety. In a puzzling twist, the captain's airspeed indicator faltered, showing zero—a dangerously misleading piece of information that underestimated the aircraft's acceleration.
