50 years ago, the Ermenonville crash: the deadliest air disaster in French history. On March 3, 1974, at 12:32 p.m., the DC-10 of Turkish Airlines Flight 981 took off from Orly (Val-de-Marne) bound for London-Heathrow, England.
Eight minutes later, the aircraft disappeared from the radar screens, after the sudden opening of a door at the rear. There will be no survivors among the 346 people on board, eleven crew members, supporters of the England rugby team who played the day before.
