June 6 1989: the colorful 11 tragedy On This Day in 1989: Surinam Airways Flight 764, a DC-8, crashes in Paramaribo (Surinam). 176 of 187 aboard die in the worst air disaster in the country. The victims included several Dutch Surinamese football players, known as the “Colorful 11”- who were taking part in an exhibition match. The accident occurred as, attempting to land under foggy weather, the crew led the aircraft below the MSA – Minimum Sector Altitude – causing the jet to hit a tree near the airport. The investigation was very critical of the crew's actions, who opted to use an unreliable ILS system on the maneuver and did not react to GPWS alarms. Subsequently, the enquiry unearthed severe issues with the crew´s qualifications. The Captain was over the legal age to operate the aircraft, and also his license did not allow flying the DC-8, while the copilot also had some legal issues. The "probable cause" paragraph from the report reads as follows: CAUSE: "The Commission determines: a) That, as a result of the captain's glaring carelessness and recklessness, the aircraft was flown below the published minimum altitudes during the approach and consequently collided with a tree. b) As an underlying factor in the accident was the failure of SLM's operational management to observe the pertinent regulations as well as the procedures prescribed in the SLM Operations Manual concerning qualification and certification during recruitment and employment of the crew members furnished by ACI." The video seen here is an extract from a 1992 Dutch TV special on the accident, which includes a reenactment of the accident. You can see it on YouTube as “TV: Reporter (19920304) - SLM Vliegramp Suriname PY 764 | PY764”

Another Boeing 787 nose landing gear collapse. Ethiopian Airlines. Korean Air’s VIP Dreamliner. British Airways. And now Lufthansa. While the causes may differ, seeing the same type of failure repeatedly across multiple operators is bound to raise concerns. Should Boeing be taking a closer look?

Following a gear collapse at the gate in Frankfurt, Lufthansa 787-9 D-ABPQ has been significantly damaged. Today’s LH450 has been canceled. We are awaiting more information on any potential injuries.
