China Northwest Airlines Flight 2119 (WH2119) was a flight from Yinchuan Xihuayuan Airport, Ningxia to Beijing Capital International Airport, People's Republic of China. On July 23, 1993, the aircraft crashed into a lake after it was unable to get airborne while attempting to take off at Yinchuan Airport, killing 54 passengers and 1 crew member on board.[1]

Accident

Just before rotation on takeoff, the right-side flap actuator failed, causing the flaps to retract. Unable to get the aircraft into the air, the crew had no other option but to abort the takeoff.[1] This failed, however; the nose gear lifted off causing the tail to strike the runway. The aircraft then overran the runway and crashed into a lake.[2]

Cause

It was suspected that the crew failed to check if the flaps were deployed properly for takeoff.[2]
