Spooky.

Thankyou so much for that information. I haven't read anywhere else that they landed off the runway.

Do you have any written sources to this piece of information? Or can you point me in the proper direction to find any source for my self?

I still wonder if I may PM you.

IGh, I all of a sudden realized that I have used some of your information regarding the TWA841 incident! Thankyou for providing me with that, albeit unknowingly. TWA841 is interesting in several aspects:

1) It was a material/design failure.
2) It involved no loss of life.
3) And yet there were plenty of materials, reports, photos, TV-programs etc to document the event.

Western 2605 involved loss of many people's lives, it was propably due to CRM failure (although that can't be confirmed at this point) and still there is nothing available on the Web.

These two accidents occured the same year. Strange.
