On August 13, 1972, at 0050 eastern daylight time, while aborting a takeoff from Runway 13R, John F. Kennedy International Airport, Jamaica, New York, Jugoslovenski Aerotransport (JAT) Flight 3410 ran off the end of the runway. There were 175 passengers and a crew of 11 aboard the aircraft at the time of the accident; 15 passengers and a steward were injured during evacuation. During the takeoff, the right cockpit sliding window came open, and made a loud noise. The captain initiated action to reject the takeoff. The aircraft ran off the end of the runway, struck the blast fence, and came to a stop approximately 120 feet from the end of the paved surface and 80 feet to the right of the runway. The left wing and engines Nos. 1 and 2 were damaged by impact and the ensuing fire. The crew and passengers successfully evacuated the aircraft by means of the emergency slides. The National Transportation Safety Board determines that the probable cause of the accident was the unknown degraded capability of the heavily loaded aircraft's braking system.
