HE SAID THAT AFTER BRAKING FOR 400 FEET, THE RIGHT BRAKE FAILED AND THE AIRPLANE VEERED TO THE LEFT AND 'GROUND LOOPED.'

THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION (FAA) INSPECTOR WHO EXAMINED THE WRECKAGE REPORTED THAT THE AIRPLANE WAS AT MAXIMUM GROSS WEIGHT AND DEPARTED THE END OF THE RUNWAY. THE RIGHT BRAKE COULD NOT BE FUNCTIONALLY TESTED BECAUSE THE LINES WERE DESTROYED WHEN THE RIGHT LANDING GEAR STRUT COLLAPSED.
