It was an equally unlikely amount of good fortune that allowed the DC-10 to make it to the runway at Sioux City Gateway Airport, and for nearly 200 lives to be saved. Jung might have called it synchronicity, others might simply say it was an extreme example of Murphy’s Law. What it amounted to was one of the most startling and fascinating accidents in commercial air history.
