Lauda Air Flight 004 Crash Site (Street View)
Ban Rai, Thailand (TH)
This street view showcases what I believe is a wing section from Lauda Air 004, which was a Boeing 767-3Z9ER registered OE-LAV.
Lauda Air 004 was a route from Bangkok to Vienna. On May 26, 1991, OE-LAV was the aircraft for the route. Shortly after takeoff, the crew recieved a warning that something was wrong with the thrust reverser system. After discussing it, they decided to ignore the warning. Soon, the reverser deployed mid-flight. This caused an uncontrollable stall that led to a midair breakup. With all 223 occupants dead, this is the deadliest crash in my collection.
