36 Yrs ago today Pan Am 103 blew up over Lockerbie killing everyone on board.
Pan Am Flight 103 was a regular scheduled transatlantic flight from Frankfurt to Detroit via London and New York. At 19.03 on the 21st of December 1988, N739PA, (the aircraft operating the fight) was destroyed by a bomb, killing all 243 passengers and 16 crew in what became known as the Lockerbie bombing. Large sections of the aircraft crashed onto a residential street in Lockerbie, Scotland, killing 11 people on the ground. With a total of 270 people killed, it is the deadliest terror attack in the history of the United Kingdom.BREAKING NEWS
A Bombardier Challenger 300 crashed into a building while attempting to land at San Fernando Airport (QAE/SADF) in Argentina, resulting in the deaths of the pilot and co-pilot.
The aircraft, arriving from Punta Del Este Airport (PDP/SUPE), veered off runway 05 colliding a building. Local reports confirm the crew were returning to Fernando after transporting passengers to Punta del Este. No other individuals were on the jet during the accident.
In another tragic incident, a Kamaka Air Cessna 208B Grand Caravan was destroyed when it crashed into a vacant building shortly after takeoff from runway 4L at Daniel K. Inouye International (HNL/PHNL), Honolulu, Hawaii. Both pilots sustained fatal injuries. The airplane was operating as an instructional flight.
The airplane taxied from the ramp to runway 4L and started its takeoff. The airplane was observed at 91 knots groundspeed when it lifted off the runway. A few seconds later the airplane was observed in a left bank, contrary to the expected right-hand turn. The left bank worsened over a 15-second period, continuing until the end of the track. Ground observer videos showed the airplane in a very aggressive left bank. The airplane impacted the side of a vacant building in a near-vertical attitude. post-crash fire ensued.
THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS GO OUT TO THE IMMEDIATE FAMILIES AND FRIENDS
Due to being on annual leave and knowing there were three Emirates A380's on the ground in Brisbane, I headed out to the airport to see this extremely rare event.
