The takeoff of the Dassault Falcon 10 was commenced without releasing the parking brake.
The Falcon overran runway 18 at Chicago-Merrill C Meigs Field, IL and came to rest in 25 feet of water about 300 feet from the departure end of the runway.
PROBABLE CAUSE: "The flightcrew's failure to release the parking brake before the takeoff roll was started, which resulted in significant wheel/brake drag and a nosedown pitching moment that inhibited the aircraft's capability to effect a normal acceleration and rotation for takeoff. Contributing to the accident was the lack of adequate company checklist procedures to insure the timely release of the parking brakes."
