thats the American Airlines DC-10 crash at Chicago O'Hare in 1978.

Yeah the engine came off on takeoff which ripped the hydraulics out of the wing causing the slats to go up on that side but remained down on the otherside.

The pilots slowling lost all roll control.

Ironically this was the first flight that American was using the "Nose Cam" on, that allowed the passengers to watch the takeoff from the onboard screens. They all saw it coming.
