      185 out of 296 people on board survived the crash of United 232. It's a bit of a miracle, considering the state the plane was in. You can look it up (full story) on major aviation channels on YT as the 'Impossible Landing'. Personally, I find even more captivating the pesonal accounts of two of the pilots, captain Haynes and off-duty captain Fitch. Two of captain Haynes' long string of safety lectures are on YT, as are several recordings on Errol Flynn's 'Leaving the Earth' document about captain Fitch.
      Sadly, Denny Fitch, who you mention, does not suffer anymore today, as he died about 10 years ago, and Flight 232's captain died several years ago. They're both heroes to me.

    As for the crew of United flight 232, I will always have respect for them, they showed creativity and all their skills to save the plane.
    But it's terribly sad that it didn't work out.
    They were flying steadily from 11.5 kilometers and at 30 meters the plane lost stability, literally at the finish line, it was as if a runner had lost a race because he would have hit a pole with flags.
    Capitan Al Haynes, Bill Records, Flight Engineer Dvorak and Denny Fitch are true heroes and will always have my respect 👍👍👍👍👍😊😊😊
