ABSTRACT
If safety instructions or warnings are given in a printed verbal form that is supposed to be read and followed by someone not familiar with the language, disastrous consequences can result. On March 3, 1974, a Turkish Airline DC-10 took off from Paris, France, and had climbed to about 11,000 feet when the cargo door blew out. The resulting reduced air pressure below the passenger deck caused the cabin floor to be pushed downward, thereby severing critical hydraulic and control systems. The plane crashed, killing all 346 people on board.
