Eastern was one of the "Big Four" domestic airlines created by the Spoils Conferences of 1930, and was headed by World War I flying ace Eddie Rickenbacker in its early years. It had a near monopoly in air travel between New York and Florida from the 1930s until the 1950s and dominated this market for decades afterward. Labor disputes and high debt loads strained the company in the late 1970s and early 1980s under the leadership of former astronaut Frank Borman. Frank Lorenzo acquired Eastern in 1985 and moved many of its assets to his other airlines, including Continental Airlines and Texas Air. After continued labor disputes and a crippling strike in 1989, Eastern ran out of money and was liquidated in 1991.American Airlines obtained many of Eastern's routes from Miami to Latin America and the Caribbean, while Delta Air Lines, Eastern's main competitor at Hartsfield Airport in Atlanta, acquired many of Eastern's Lockheed L-1011 aircraft.

SOME CLARIFICATIONS
When stating that Eastern was a victim of "bad management", that information was taken from other outside sources and is "factual" based on those articles. Sources are linked in the document below. Some may say that Lorenzo did what he had to do to save the airlines under Texas Air, and some may disagree. This video is intended to portray a neutral perspective on the case of Eastern Air Lines, regardless of any bias I (the writer) may unintentionally show.

China Eastern Airlines Corporation Limited (simplified Chinese: 中国东方航空公司; traditional Chinese: 中國東方航空公司), also known as China Eastern, is an airline headquartered in the China Eastern Airlines Building, on the grounds of Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport in Changning District, Shanghai. It is one of the "Big Three" airlines (alongside Air China and China Southern Airlines) of the People's Republic of China, operating international, domestic, and regional routes. Hongqiao airport, along with the larger Shanghai Pudong International Airport, are China Eastern's main hubs, with secondary hubs in Beijing Daxing, Kunming, and Xi'an.

About Airbus A330 (from Wikipedia):
The A330-200 is a shortened, longer-range variant, which entered service in 1998 with Korean Air. Typical range with 253 passengers in a three-class configuration is 13,400 km (7,240 nmi; 8,330 mi). The A330-200 is ten fuselage frames shorter than the original −300, with a length of 58.82 m (193 ft 0 in). To compensate for the smaller moment arm of the shorter fuselage, the vertical stabiliser height of the -200 was increased by 104 cm (40.9 in). The −200's wing was also modified; structural strengthening of the wing allowed the maximum takeoff weight of the −200 to be increased to 229.8 tonnes (507,000 lb). The −200 is offered with three engine types similar to those found on the −300, namely the General Electric CF6-80E, Pratt & Whitney PW4000, or Rolls-Royce Trent 700. Airbus also boosted fuel capacity to 139,100 L (36,700 US gal) by adding the centre section fuel tank, standard in the A340.

This is the story of eastern airlines flight 212. On the 11th of september 1974 an eastern airlines DC 9 was to fly from charleston in south carolina to charlotte in north carolina. At 7 am the plane departed Charleston with 78 passengers and 4 crew members on board. This would be a short flight and 22 minutes after takeoff the crew of flight 212 was in contact with atlanta ARTCC cleared flight 212 down to 8000 feet. In the cockpit the pilots were in contact with an operations service agent at charlotte and three other eastern airlines planes heading into charlotte. They were all talking about an in range checklist that was mandated by eastern airlines. Within 10 minutes this checklist was started and the atc controller queried the pilots about their altitude, at that point they were down to 10,000 feet on their descent down to 8000 feet. With that the plane was handed over to Charlotte approach and the controller briefed them on the approach that they'd be flying, he also cleared them to descend down to 6000 feet. The captain completed the in range checklist and said in range to which the first officer just said ok. As flight 212 descended down to 6000 feet, ATC asked the pilots to turn left to 360 degrees. As this approach was being flown the pilots in the cockpit were talking about things that didn't necessarily pertain to the operation of the aircraft.
After this left turn ATC cleared the plane down to 4000 feet and asked them to turn again, this time to 240 degrees. As the pilots slowed the plane they brought out the flaps bit by bit. By the time flight 212 had reached 3000 feet they had been handed off to the tower controller. Charlotte tower informed the pilots that they were about 5 miles away from a point known as ross intersection and that they were number 2 in line for landing. So far this flight has been uneventful, boring even, it resembled every other flight that takes off and lands every minute of everyday but soon that would change.
Within minutes the captain stated “ross 5.5 1800” for the approach to runway 36 ross point is what's known as a final approach fix. At a final approach fix you must have your plane in a particular state, you have to be at the right speed at the right altitude that sort of stuff, its a way to make sure that youre where youre supposed to be. This way youre perfectly set up for a safe landing. At this point the runway was about 10 miles miles away theyd be on the ground soon.
On their way in the pilots peered out of the cockpit looking for the carrowinds its a tower in an amusement park near the flight path and its very tall with bright lights on it. Pilots can easily ID it from the air With the tower positively IDed they dropped the gear. In the cockpit there was a steady tone indicating that the plane was less than 1000 feet above the ground. In the cockpit final preparations were being made for the landing. Someone in the cockpit said 394, that was their minimum descent altitude and the other pilot agreed, they also brought out the flaps to 50 degrees. The captain let the controller know that they were by the ross intersection and the controller gave flight 212 their landing clearance. In the cockpit the captain said “yeah were all ready, all weve got to do is find the airport” “yeah said the first officer. One and a half second after the yeah had been recorded the CVR recorded both pilots shouting, and then it recorded silence.
Flight 212, the aircraft had struck some trees just miles from runway 36. Of the 82 occupants 10 people survived.

SOME CLARIFICATIONS
When stating that Eastern was a victim of "bad management", that information was taken from other outside sources and is "factual" based on those articles. Sources are linked in the document below. Some may say that Lorenzo did what he had to do to save the airlines under Texas Air, and some may disagree. This video is intended to portray a neutral perspective on the case of Eastern Air Lines, regardless of any bias I (the writer) may unintentionally show.

About China Eastern (from Wikipedia):
China Eastern Airlines Corporation Limited (simplified Chinese: 中国东方航空公司; traditional Chinese: 中國東方航空公司), also known as China Eastern, is an airline headquartered in the China Eastern Airlines Building, on the grounds of Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport in Changning District, Shanghai. It is one of the "Big Three" airlines (alongside Air China and China Southern Airlines) of the People's Republic of China, operating international, domestic, and regional routes. Hongqiao airport, along with the larger Shanghai Pudong International Airport, are China Eastern's main hubs, with secondary hubs in Beijing Daxing, Kunming, and Xi'an.
It is the second largest airline in China, in terms of passenger traffic, after China Southern Airlines. In 2021, its operation revenue is 67,127 million RMB. Its total asset is 286,548 million RMB. China Eastern and its subsidiary Shanghai Airlines became the 14th member of SkyTeam on 21 June 2011. The parent company of China Eastern Airlines Corporation Limited is China Eastern Air Holding Company.
About Airbus A330 (from Wikipedia):
The A330-200 is a shortened, longer-range variant, which entered service in 1998 with Korean Air. Typical range with 253 passengers in a three-class configuration is 13,400 km (7,240 nmi; 8,330 mi). The A330-200 is ten fuselage frames shorter than the original −300, with a length of 58.82 m (193 ft 0 in). To compensate for the smaller moment arm of the shorter fuselage, the vertical stabiliser height of the -200 was increased by 104 cm (40.9 in). The −200's wing was also modified; structural strengthening of the wing allowed the maximum takeoff weight of the −200 to be increased to 229.8 tonnes (507,000 lb). The −200 is offered with three engine types similar to those found on the −300, namely the General Electric CF6-80E, Pratt & Whitney PW4000, or Rolls-Royce Trent 700. Airbus also boosted fuel capacity to 139,100 L (36,700 US gal) by adding the centre section fuel tank, standard in the A340.

The captain completed the in range checklist and said in range to which the first officer just said ok. As flight 212 descended down to 6000 feet, ATC asked the pilots to turn left to 360 degrees. As this approach was being flown the pilots in the cockpit were talking about things that didn't necessarily pertain to the operation of the aircraft.
After this left turn ATC cleared the plane down to 4000 feet and asked them to turn again, this time to 240 degrees. As the pilots slowed the plane they brought out the flaps bit by bit. By the time flight 212 had reached 3000 feet they had been handed off to the tower controller. Charlotte tower informed the pilots that they were about 5 miles away from a point known as ross intersection and that they were number 2 in line for landing. So far this flight has been uneventful, boring even, it resembled every other flight that takes off and lands every minute of everyday but soon that would change.
Within minutes the captain stated “ross 5.5 1800” for the approach to runway 36 ross point is what's known as a final approach fix. At a final approach fix you must have your plane in a particular state, you have to be at the right speed at the right altitude that sort of stuff, its a way to make sure that youre where youre supposed to be. This way youre perfectly set up for a safe landing. At this point the runway was about 10 miles miles away theyd be on the ground soon.
On their way in the pilots peered out of the cockpit looking for the carrowinds its a tower in an amusement park near the flight path and its very tall with bright lights on it. Pilots can easily ID it from the air With the tower positively IDed they dropped the gear. In the cockpit there was a steady tone indicating that the plane was less than 1000 feet above the ground. In the cockpit final preparations were being made for the landing. Someone in the cockpit said 394, that was their minimum descent altitude and the other pilot agreed, they also brought out the flaps to 50 degrees. The captain let the controller know that they were by the ross intersection and the controller gave flight 212 their landing clearance. In the cockpit the captain said “yeah were all ready, all weve got to do is find the airport” “yeah said the first officer. One and a half second after the yeah had been recorded the CVR recorded both pilots shouting, and then it recorded silence.
Flight 212, the aircraft had struck some trees just miles from runway 36. Of the 82 occupants 10 people survived.
Eastern was one of the "Big Four" domestic airlines created by the Spoils Conferences of 1930, and was headed by World War I flying ace Eddie Rickenbacker in its early years. It had a near monopoly in air travel between New York and Florida from the 1930s until the 1950s and dominated this market for decades afterward. Labor disputes and high debt loads strained the company in the late 1970s and early 1980s under the leadership of former astronaut Frank Borman. Frank Lorenzo acquired Eastern in 1985 and moved many of its assets to his other airlines, including Continental Airlines and Texas Air. After continued labor disputes and a crippling strike in 1989, Eastern ran out of money and was liquidated in 1991.American Airlines obtained many of Eastern's routes from Miami to Latin America and the Caribbean, while Delta Air Lines, Eastern's main competitor at Hartsfield Airport in Atlanta, acquired many of Eastern's Lockheed L-1011 aircraft.
