A brief summary follws but there is more information at the related link.

United Airlines Flight 232 crash-landed in Sioux City, Iowa, after suffering catastrophic failure of its tail-mounted engine. The engine failure was traced to a manufacturing defect in the fan disk, which had microscopic cracks due to impurities. The cracking should have been detected by maintenance personnel. The engine failed resulted in shrapnel being projected at high speed from the engine penetrating the hydraulic lines of all three independent hydraulic systems on board the aircraft, which rapidly lost their hydraulic fluid.

The crew guided the jet to Sioux Airport but without flight controls, they were unable to slow down for landing, and were forced to attempt landing at much too high a speed and rate of descent. On touchdown, the aircraft broke apart, caught fire, and rolled over.
