Disaster struck in the British town of Coventry just 4 days before Christmas. What became an already devastating scene narrowly avoided further fatal consequences as a Boeing 737 clipped the tops of nearby homes before crashing into a wooded area nearby to the local airport, also damaging other infrastructure. What makes this story so intriguing is that for one thing, the purpose of this very flight was actually pretty controversial and unusual. When I tell you, that this plane came from the Netherlands but belonged to the National airline of Algeria, one may have some questions as to just what this plane was doing? Secondly, this is almost a forgotten incident. For the people of Coventry, this was a very localized accident that didn’t really get much nationwide coverage at the time and again very little since. So what was the deal with this mystery plane? And why did it crash?
