Dear Readers, I am a school student. As one of our substitues we meet was a survior of this plane crash. It was a very intersting story he told. He soon plans to write a book. God sure loved him the day this happened i must note! Also i must say the piolet made a dumb decission consering all that was wrong was a landing gear light bulb had blown out and because of a simple mistake many lifes were taken and many were injured. I do belive there are some spelling mistakes i do apoliagize as i said i am a student. ~Fan of Mr.Love's~

[edit] math

If there were 10 fatalities there should have been only 171 survivors, not 179...is there anything to clarify this? Super Jedi Droid 03:02, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

There were 189 total people on board, 10 died, 179 survived. Crum375 03:06, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Possible ref

Airliners No. 49, Jan/Feb 1998 issue, per page found via Google search I did on this incident. Jason McHuff (talk) 13:46, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Updates

I removed the part about a second go-around, since that did not happen. Also, added detail as to the cause of the accident, including the fact that there was a mechanical malfunction on the right main landing gear, and that is what began the chain of events that finally culminated in the accident.

Finally, I added SAS Flight 993, as one of the other similar accidents.
