A police emergency squad hoists the body of a victim in the crash of American Airlines Flight 320 from the East River, February 3, 1959. Other bodies plucked from the strong icy currents of the river lie on the stern of the police launch. The plane smashed to pieces on the water as it tried to land in fog and drizzle at La Guardia Airport. Of the 73 people on board, 65 were killed.

On the 31st July 1979 Dan Air flight 0034 failed to safely take off from Sumburgh Airport, Shetland,  with the loss of both pilots and 15 passengers.
The Hawker Siddeley HS 748 with 47 people aboard careened off the end of the runway and crashed into the freezing waters of the North Sea, which quickly began to fill the cabin. As the passengers struggled to escape, the plane started to sink nose first, slipping beneath the waves with passengers and crew alike still trapped inside. Thirty people managed to swim to shore or were picked up by rescuers, but 17 drowned both inside and outside the plane, unable to escape the rising water or negotiate the pounding surf.
The wrecked aircraft was salvaged and taken to a hangar for a thorough examination, including both engines being stripped down. The plane's propeller control units were tested and performed within specification. There was no evidence of overheating or any fire.
The Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) concluded that the accident was the fault of locked elevators, preventing the plane from getting airborne. It was determined that the elevator gust lock had re-engaged during the pilot's takeoff checks and that it was not noticed until it was too late to abort the takeoff.
Following the crash, all British HS-748 planes were fitted with a light on the gust-lock lever to warn the pilots if the lever was not in the correct position. Dan-Air also redesigned how the life jackets were stowed.
There’s a full explanation of the crash and the faults causing it.here

In 2013, a memorial was erected near Sumburgh Airport to commemorate all lives lost at or near the airport.

Society of the Snow
It’s not often these days that I write about a movie I have seen but I have just watched Society of the Snow on Netflix. Much has been written about this crash and those who survived 71 days in one of the most inhospitable areas of the world. Have you read or heard about it? In 1972 the ‘Old Christians Club’ an amateur rugby club, charted a Uruguayan Air Force plane from Montevideo, Uruguay,…

2024年1月6日 寒い正月(1月)が始まった。
来なくてよかった年を迎えてしまった後悔から、この1年乗り切らなければならない。
1月1日の元旦に石川県能登半島で起きた大地震で、大変多くの人々が被災し死者も今日時点94名 不明者222名の大災害だ。
道路や鉄路は寸断され、電気水道も止まり被災者に幾重もの苦難が襲っていて、いつ平常な状態に復活できるか解らない大変な悲劇だ。
 そして2日は東京羽田空港で、日本航空 エアバス A350 XWB 製造番号538、登録名はJA13XJと、海上保安庁所有のデ・ハビランド・カナダ製 DHC-8-315Q MPA  シリアル656、(日本語:みずなぎ 1 号)、JA722A が滑走路上で衝突。  JAL機は滑走後火災が発生したが、乗務員が落ち着いて乗客を誘導し、全員機外に脱出。同乗していたペット2匹が犠牲になったが、乗客は17人の軽い怪我だけで大惨事にならなかった。
一方、海保機のJA722Aは、衝突と同時に炎上し乗組員5名の尊い命を失った。重傷を負った機長が辛うじて機外に脱出でき一命を取り止めた。  この海保機は、石川県能登地震の救援物資を積んで新潟に飛ぶ予定だった。ご冥福をお祈りします。 波乱な年明けが始まったが、政府は御屠蘇気分なのか、まったくスピード感がなく、激甚災害の対処ものらりくらりの様相で、腹立たしい。この政党政府ではもうだめだ。立腹の六日間だった。

“We’re overdue,” another pilot told me. “When it happens, the reaction is gonna be, ‘Why didn’t we see this coming?’ ” But we do see it coming.

British soldier inspecting a crashed Messerschmitt Bf.109. A Beach at Lydd in Kent, South of England. the pilot was Arno Zimmermann, the date Oct 1940. His aircraft was hit in the engine by a burst of gunfire from a No.605 Squadron Hurricane during a freelance patrol over Tunbridge Wells.
The gunfire caused the engine to malfunction and overheat. It quickly became clear to the pilot, aged 21, that he stood no chance of making it back across the English Channel to his French base at Guines, especially when the cockpit also filled with smoke. Instead, Zimmermann made a good forced landing on the shingle by Lydd Water Tower in Kent and was taken POW.

This post is da bomb, technical yet compelling, and also don't read if you have even a tiny bit of aerophobia.

"Another level where you are riding some sort of water skateboard. I actually don't mind this vehicle that much. The controls may not be the best but trust me...there's way worse in this franchise..."

A Crash to Remember
Every city has surprising statues: León, Spain has a lion emerging from the sewer in front of their government building; Oviedo, Spain has Woody Allen strutting down one of their main streets; Atocha Train Station in Madrid has a large baby head. But Madrid also has an angel crashing into a building on Calle Mayor, Main Street. Madrid has a host of building top statues, especially on Granvia,…
