In the final seconds of a routine landing approach into Newark, a United Airlines first officer recognized what instruments and instinct told him was wrong — the aircraft was too slow, too low — and said so. His warning came, but not soon enough to prevent the jet from striking a light pole just nineteen feet above the New Jersey Turnpike. The National Transportation Safety Board now works to understand how a procedure practiced hundreds of times across a career can still, in one convergence of small failures, go wrong in the most consequential way.
