About United Airlines Flight 2885:On January 11, 1983, a Douglas DC-8 cargo plane with registration number n8053u crashed into a nearby farmland during takeoff at Detroit Airport. After investigation, it was found that it was because an inexperienced flight engineer and co pilot who did not have a flight license swapped positions, causing the plane to stall and ultimately crash in the farmland due to inexperienced flight engineers pulling the lever to adjust the trim during takeoff
