**3.2 Crash of a Boeing 747: 200 freighter**

A Boeing Model 747–200 freighter (El Al Flight 1862) crashed on October 4th, 1992 during climb out from Schiphol Airport, Amsterdam, Netherlands [13]. All four people onboard as well 43 others on the ground were killed in the accident. The aircraft experienced the separation of both engines from the right wing (inboard engine 3 and outboard engine 4), resulting in loss of control of the aircraft and subsequent crash. Subsequent investigation revealed that the inboard engine and strut (engine 3) had separated from the wing and impacted the outboard engine (engine 4). The lessons learnt from this crash led to changes in the strut design philosophy across the aerospace industry.
