Horizon Air Flight 2658 was a scheduled U.S. passenger flight from Seattle to Spokane, Washington by Horizon Air. On 15 April 1988, the De Havilland Canada DHC-8 operating the flight suffered a partial loss of power in one engine shortly after takeoff, followed by an explosion and fire in the engine nacelle while returning for an emergency landing, and then by a complete loss of control and braking upon touchdown, which caused the aircraft to crash into jetways at Seattle–Tacoma International Airport, resulting in the destruction of the aircraft (the first-ever hull loss of a DHC-8-series aircraft) and serious injuries to four passengers, but no fatalities. The engine power loss and subsequent explosion and fire were determined to have been caused by improper engine maintenance which resulted in a large fuel leak.^[1]
