Please show the last time a passenger airliner, with crew training
and
equipment standards up to date crashed into a highrise building.
High-rises and mountains are somewhat similar in aviation, in that
they
are
both large, tall, and easy to miss - one would think. They both
become
more
crucial when taking off or landing, as these activities bring you
closer,
with less 'wiggle room'.
The following rough list for the most part contains only accidents
involving
substantial loss of life. There have been some others.
1992 El Al 747 impacted an apartment building in Amsterdam.
1995 Dec. 20, nr. Cali, Colombia: American Airlines Boeing 757
crashed
in
Andean Mountains.
1996 Feb. 29, near Arequipa, Peru: Faucett Airline Boeing 737
crashed
into
mountain as it prepared to land.
1998 Feb. 2, Mindanao, Philippines: Cebu Pacific Air DC-9 crashed
into a
mountain;
2003 Feb. 19, nr. Shahdad, Iran: Iranian military Ilyushin Il-76MD
crashed in the Sirach Mountains. All 276 on board were killed.
In the last 50 years, please list those modern passenger airliners
flown
by a major US=flag airline that on a bright, sunny day, crashed into a
major office building in a major US city.
Start your list he
Close enough Aeromexico in to Cerritos, Calif.
Ah, yes...Aeromexico, a well-known "US-flag" airline.
Just very Southern Calif. airline. And it flies in and out as much as any
US airline.
