>> the pilots knew they had a serious problem. they knew the engine had failed, but they didn't know it had come off the airplane. there's no indication for that. >> look at this, look at this. blew up an engine. equipment. equipment. he blew an engine. [ bleep ] >> the leading edge slats which give the wing better lift during slow speeds during takeoff and landing are controlled hydraulically. now with no hydraulic power on the left side, the left slats retract back into the wing. >> which means he has less lift on that side than he had on the opposite side, so it wants to roll. >> an eyewitn...

Controlling the airplane. >> the pilots knew they had a serious problem. they knew the engine had failed, but they didn't know it had come off the airplane. there's no indication for that. >> look at this, look at this. blew up an engine. equipment. equipment. he blew an engine. >> the leading edge slats which give the wing better lift during slow speeds during takeoff and landing are controlled hydraulically. now with no hydraulics on the left side, the left slats retract back into the wing. >> which means he has less lift on that side than he had on the opposite side, so the airplane wants t...

On the good news side, the other eight engines continued to win, and the dragon capsule got to orbit. so you like a rocket like this that has the robustness, the ability to withstand failure and still make it to orbit. jon: so i guess, in fact, the payload is being delivered to the international space station just as intended. that's all good news, but is this going to slow down this private space venture? >> well, it'll probably slow it down for a couple of months perhaps before the next launch. they've got to diagnose this problem, look at the telemetry from the engine, test fire some engine...

Hydraulically. now with no hydraulics on the left side, the slats retract back into the wing. >> which means he has less lift on that side than he had on the opposite side, so it wants to roll. >> an eyewitness manages to snap a photo of the plane rolling on to its side with its left wing pointing straight down to the ground. what happens next seals the fate of flight 191. >> pilots are trained to handle engine failures, and they did what their training taught them to do. they reduced their air speed. >> but when they did that, they no longer had air flow across the flight controls. >> they ju...
