I believe we (radar designers) discussed at the time that it was amazing there were no deaths, but maybe there would be later when the crew found and killed whoever made that hole and did not issue a NOTAM or put up any marking to alert the crew. "northern Iraq at 11:50 p.m. on Dec. 29" for anyone wondering how this would be missed in broad daylight.

Per the link: "There were 11 crew members and passengers on board and all have been accounted for."

I did my best on the CT-II radar system, but when we talked about the 30G crash worthiness I was not expecting this to be a possible event.


That's the beak I designed the reflectors to fit within. Thanks IBM.
