Part 3/8:
At 0800, Flight 762 was cleared for takeoff. Within seconds, onlookers witnessed horrifying scenes as the engine cowling doors swung open violently, with both panels ripping off due to air pressure as the aircraft took to the skies. The crew in the cockpit was initially oblivious to the chaos unfolding behind them.
As the aircraft gained altitude, the first signs of trouble became evident when warnings began flashing on the cockpit displays, indicating a significant failure related to the thrust control and hydraulic systems. Although the pilots remained focused on stabilizing the flight, panic began to set in among the passengers, exacerbated by flight attendants desperately trying to provide reassurance.
