Airbus A320 Plane Crash

Back


Date: June 26, 1988
Time: 14:45
Location: Habsheim, France
Operator: Air France
Flight number: 296Q
Route: Basel - Basel
AC type: Airbus A320-111
Aboard: 136 (passengers: 130, crew:6)
Fatalities: 3 (passengers: 3, crew:0)

Summary: The plane was scheduled to perform a series of fly-bys at an air show. The plane was to descend to 100 ft. altitude with landing gear and flaps extended. The automatic go-around protection was inhibited for the maneuver. During the maneuver, the plane descended thru 100 ft. to an altitude of 30 feet and hit trees at the end of the runway. The aircraft was totally destroyed by the successive impacts and violent fire which followed. The pilot allowed the aircraft to descend through 100 ft. at slow speed and maximum angle of attack and was late in applying go-around power. Unfamiliarity of the crew with the landing field and lack of planning for the flyby.

lol, sir you think a pilot would fly a plane in this manner? and didnt you find the reaction of the crowd on the ground to be a little subdued in the event that passengers were aboard this airplane?

hint: THIS PLANE WAS UNMANNED AND FLOWN BY A COMPUTER

my agent was up late last night hammering out the details. apparently im now the owner of a private island in a REMOTE location. splendid!

nevermind where i get my reports from krispy. lots of information about this unmanned crash filters in and out of my YTSM office during the day so sourcing a link can prove to be very difficult as im sure you can imagine

How do you explain the passengers being interviewed in one of the two response videos I posted?

I await your response with eager anticipation.
