Boeing 737-300 (737-3B7). Operated for USAir.

Vuelopedia is a work in progress: it currently holds about 30% of the information we expect to have by the third quarter of 2027. Although we use only official, highly reliable sources, some aircraft data and history may still contain errors or inaccuracies. We work hard to clear every anomaly from the records using specialized verification tools.

Accident at Hopewell, near Pittsburgh
On September 8, 1994, the Boeing 737-3B7 aircraft (registration N513AU), operated by USAir, was involved in a fatal accident at Hopewell, near Pittsburgh (United States), leaving 132 dead. Source: USAir.
What happened
At 6,000 feet on approach to Pittsburgh, the 737's rudder swung hard over in the direction opposite to the pedals and the aircraft fell in 28 seconds. All 132 people on board died. The investigation took more than four years to prove that a valve in the rudder actuator could jam and reverse, and the entire world 737 fleet had the system replaced.
