Avianca Flight 052 crash site

This was a regularly scheduled flight from Bogotá, Colombia, to NYC, via Medellín, that crashed on 1/25/1990. The Boeing 707 flying this route ran out of fuel after a failed attempt to land at JFK, causing the aircraft to crash onto a hillside in the small village of Cove Neck, on the north shore of Long Island. 8 of the 9 crew members and 65 of the 149 passengers on board were killed. The NTSB determined that the crash occurred due to the flight crew failing to properly declare a fuel emergency, failure to use an airline operational control dispatch system, inadequate traffic flow management by the FAA, and the lack of standardized understandable terminology for pilots and controllers for minimum and emergency fuel states.
