[edit]

> The agency office In Los Angeles sought to issue AD's for the DC‐10 after the Windsor incident but was overruled by John H. Shaffer, who then headed the Federal Aviation Administration.

This decision was made based on a "Gentlemen's agreement" between Shaffer and the DC-10's manufacturer and caused a DC-10 crash two years later in which over 300 people died.
