US Airways Flight 1702 was a regularly scheduled flight from Philadelphia to Fort Lauderdale. On March 13, 2014, the Airbus A320 flying this route aborted its takeoff from Philadelphia International Airport during rotation and excursed from the runway, causing the landing gear to collapse. All 154 people on board survived and only 2 people were injured. The National Transportation Safety Board determined that the cause of the accident was the flight crew violating standard operating procedures and the captain's inappropriate decision to abort the takeoff during rotation due to the first offer failing to properly update the flight management computer before takeoff. [1] [2] It was the final accident for US airways before their merger with American Airlines.
