This crash effectively ended Emery Worldwide, though it took a couple of years to play out fully. The crash happened on February 16, 2000, when the DC-8 went down just after takeoff from Sacramento Mather Airport, killing all three crew members. The NTSB found that a control rod on the right elevator detached during rotation because a bolt had not been properly secured during maintenance.

After the crash, the FAA placed Emery under intense scrutiny. After 19 months of heightened oversight, on August 13, 2001, Emery signed an agreement with the FAA to immediately cease operating until it resolved the safety issues. It was ultimately unable to do so and surrendered its operating certificate on December 4, 2002 — less than two years after the crash.

Emery's cargo operations were subcontracted to other airlines, and its successor company was later acquired by UPS in 2004.
