This horrifying photograph, captured on March 5th, 1966, depicts the tragic final moments of BOAC Flight 911. What was one of the deadliest air disasters to have ever occurred at that time. Flying through the air isn’t always a smooth journey. All airline passengers at some point or another have experienced turbulence, it’s very common. Turbulence could occur anytime and be bumpy, kind of like potholes in the sky.
Plane’s though are extremely tough. For example, the materials used to make our modern passenger planes have made it so even the bumpiest of skies won’t necessarily bring a plane down. But it wasn’t always like that. As passengers today, it may be easy to forget that we now have over 100 years of aviation experience to draw from. Plenty of lessons have been learnt about aviation safety in that time, many of them to do with the sky itself, this was one of those lessons. As turbulence is the topic of today’s video, let’s look at the accident of BOAC Flight 911.
