Garuda Indonesia Flight 865

Garuda Indonesia Flight 865 was a scheduled international flight from Fukuoka, Japan, to Jakarta, Indonesia that crashed at takeoff on June 13, 1996.

The crew of the McDonnell Douglas DC-10-30, attempted to abort take-off after the failure of the number 3 (right) engine. The abort occurred at speeds nearing V₂, and after rotation of the nose. Following the abort, attempts were made to stop the aircraft on the runway by use of brakes, ground spoilers and thrust reversers, but the crew was unable to stop the aircraft within the boundaries of the runway, which exited the airport property.

In slowing down, the aircraft slid through a ditch, a fence and a road before finally coming to rest approximately 620 metres (2,030 ft) beyond the runway threshold. Damage done to the aircraft during the slide across the ground caused the landing gear to break off, and both wing mounted engines to be torn off from the wings. The fuselage broke in two places, at about the wing root trailing edge, and at approximately 10.4 metres (34 ft) aft of the wing root trailing edge. The resultant fire destroyed the areas between the hull fractures, and other areas of the aircraft.

The failure of the engine was attributed to a failed turbine blade that had been in use for 6182 cycles. General Electric, the manufacturer of the engine, had advised customers to discard turbine blades after 6000 cycles.
