ValuJet Flight 592 was operated by the company headquartered in what Georgia location?
ValuJet Flight 592 ValuJet Flight 592 was a regularly scheduled flight from Miami International Airport to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. On May 11, 1996, the ValuJet Airlines McDonnell-Douglas DC-9 operating the route crashed into the Everglades about 11 minutes after taking off from Miami as a result of a fire in the cargo compartment caused by improperly stored cargo. All 110 people on board perished. The airline already had a poor safety record before the crash, and the accident brought widespread attention to the airline's problems. The airline was grounded for several months after the accident. When operations resumed, ValuJet's reputation was so tarnished that it was forced to merge with AirTran Airways and rebrand itself as such to stay in business. To date, the accident remains the deadliest in the history of Florida.
