MK Flight 1602

ASN Aircraft accident Boeing 747-244B (SF) 9G-MKJ Halifax International Airport, NS (YHZ)

I hope history has not repeated itself.

MK Airlines Flight 1602, suffered 2 tailstrikes due to incorrect V speeds, eventually got airborne but crashed into the earthen berm 100m from the runway.

V speeds entered (incorrectly) from the BLT (Boeing Laptop Computer).

The full safety report is well worth reading.
